fal's State of Generative Media Report Vol. 2: Industry Moves from Experimentation to Production

fal, an AI inference and generative media platform, released Volume 2 of its State of Generative Media Report on September 23. The report is based on fal's own platform data and written by team members involved in model, infrastructure, and product development. Its central finding: generative media (image, video, audio, 3D) has moved from experimentation into real production environments, with the shift taking different forms across industries.

Confirmed

• The report was produced by fal design lab and covers the state of generative media across four modalities: image, video, audio, and 3D
• Central finding: generative media has moved from experimentation to production, with varying adoption patterns across industries
• Enterprises are the fastest-growing customer segment: AI-native companies drove the first wave of generative media, but enterprise customers now grow fastest on fal, expanding more than 4x within six months
• Among modalities, 3D grew fastest at 163%

Why it matters

Because the report draws on first-party platform data rather than surveys or secondhand aggregation, it is considered a valuable reference for tracking the commercialization of generative media. Findings such as enterprise growth outpacing AI-native companies and 3D leading all modalities suggest demand is shifting from early startup experimentation toward scaled production use, and that 3D may be the next generative modality to take off after image and video.
