A new survey finds that AI use at industrial companies rose from 29% in 2025 to 57%, and tripled in construction; across Hungarian companies overall it rose by 21 percentage points. At the same time, the share of those reporting a significant market impact fell from 21% to 12% in industry and from 25% to 7% in construction.
Who is affected and how

- SME owner
- Adoption is fast but the impact is not dramatic, so set a concrete cost or time-saving target when introducing AI.
