A recent surge in artificial intelligence (AI) projects, particularly those requiring immense data center infrastructure, is driving a potential $1.8 trillion opportunity for private credit providers by the end of the decade, according to estimates from the Carlyle Group. Tech companies such as Meta and Nscale are already seeking significant private credit funding to support these developments, as traditional public-market financing can’t keep up with demand.
