The on-device AI market in Chile is emerging steadily, driven by rising smartphone penetration, increased digitalization across industries, and the deployment of edge computing solutions. In sectors such as retail, banking, and telecommunications, there is growing demand for privacy-focused and latency-free AI operations, which favors on-device AI over cloud-based alternatives. The government’s investments in digital infrastructure and smart city initiatives are further accelerating adoption, particularly in urban hubs like Santiago. However, a key restraint lies in the limited availability of skilled AI engineers and inadequate R&D funding for AI hardware innovation, which slows local product development. Despite these challenges, a significant opportunity exists in the integration of AI in wearable devices and IoT systems in agriculture and mining two critical sectors of the Chilean economy. The trend toward decentralized AI processing is expected to gain traction with increased adoption of 5G networks, enabling faster and more reliable edge-AI operations. The Chilean on-device AI market is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 21.8% from 2025 to 2030.
