Predictive maintenance is moving from pilot projects to measurable results, and the growth projections are hard to ignore, with the market expected to expand at a 34.2% CAGR from 2020 to 2027. Even more telling, studies report concrete reliability and cost gains such as 40% fewer corrective repairs in wind turbine maintenance and 25% less unplanned downtime in industrial case work. Yet adoption is still uneven, including only 15% of manufacturers using AI for maintenance in 2021, creating a tension between what equipment teams can measure today and what many companies still haven’t implemented at scale.
