The growth in the market is attributed to the rising adoption of cloud-based AI solutions across industries, increasing adoption of machine learning and deep learning algorithms, and the growing potential of AI in the healthcare sector. Increased investment in cloud service providers' data centers is bolstering the GDP growth. Therefore, as virtual environments become rampant, data centers with GPU servers will stand to bear heavier computation loads and provide smooth and responsive virtual experiences. With the rise of the Metaverse and VR apps, opportunities are posed for the GPU server market.
"By form factor, the rack-mounted server segment is expected to account for the largest market share in 2030."
The high-growth rack-mount servers are witnessing extensive adoption across large data centers, and their functional utility is in running complex AI-based workloads. In the form-factor-based distinction within the spectrum of GPU servers, rack-mounted servers are certainly the most dominant ones, converting GPU servers into a high-density computing unit with properties of scalability and efficient utilization of space. This fits exactly to AI training, data analytics, and HPC workloads, turning into a single chassis with more than one GPU and competition across racks. Some adoption drivers are the ramp-up demand for large-scale AI models, necessitating space-efficient infrastructure established in hyperscale and enterprise data centers, and better thermal and power management. The adoption preference for rack-mount GPU servers remains strong in the growing dimension and scale of AI and cloud computing capacities.
"By end user industry, the cloud service providers segment is expected to capture the largest share of the GPU server market during the forecast period."
Cloud service providers provide immense benefits in processing complex data sets produced by IoT devices, social media websites, and enterprise applications. The widespread deployment of AI technologies in different verticals is fueling the need for AI-based cloud services provided by cloud service providers (CSPs). GPU servers enable these providers to analyze and process immense volumes of data at unprecedented velocities. Cloud service providers (CSPs) are the key drivers of growth in the GPU server market as they offer businesses, developers, and research institutions elastic, on-demand use of GPU capabilities. Top CSPs such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud are significantly investing in GPU-enabled infrastructure to host various compute-intensive applications such as AI/ML training, deep learning, data analytics, and high-end rendering. The primary driving forces are the increasing need for efficient, agile, and scalable compute power, rapid adoption of AI and generative models, and the business need to bring products to market faster without investing in physical assets.
