Capgemini named by Gartner® as a Market Shaper in the Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant for ‘Physical AI Services – Established Vendors’
Paris, July 16, 2026 - Capgemini today announced that it has been recognized as a Market Shaper in the Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant for ‘Physical AI Services – Established Vendors’ for its scale, growing autonomy depth and integration across complex ecosystems. In addition, Capgemini is currently named by Gartner® as the ‘Company to Beat’ for Physical AI Services1, reflecting, in Capgemini’s view, the Group’s simulation-first delivery model, ecosystem-led enterprise integration, and human-in-the-loop autonomy.
“We're delighted to be recognized concurrently by Gartner as a Market Shaper in the Emerging Market Quadrant for Physical AI Services as well as ‘the company to beat in physical AI Services,’ at the moment, reflecting, in our opinion, our commitment to helping organizations move from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment of physical AI," said Alexandre Embry, Head of Capgemini's AI Robotics & Experiences Lab. "Physical AI is fundamentally about transforming how organizations design, operate and optimize their businesses. By combining strategy, engineering, data, AI, operational technology and deep industry expertise, we help clients deploy intelligent autonomous systems that deliver measurable business outcomes.

The ‘Company to Beat’ is identified by a methodology based on, but not limited to, six key criteria that differentiate top vendors in the space: technical capabilities, customer implementations, potential customer base, business model, key partnerships, and the broader surrounding ecosystem. Assessment is performed by teams of expert analysts who collaborate to establish Gartner’s opinions. Analysts consider a variety of data and information sources including, but not limited to, interactions with end users and vendors, peer review, public data, Gartner proprietary data and analyst’s own explorations on the market. As the race evolves, Gartner’s assessment, insights, and advice about how to compete in the market will evolve too, and different vendors can become the ‘Company to Beat’.
