Segment Insights:

By Processor Type

ASIC-based servers are anticipated to grow rapidly as part of the AI server market as companies increasingly opt for ASIC technology to meet emerging high-performance computing, as well as machine learning, needs. For instance, Google's sixth-generation Trillium TPU boasts a 4.7 times improvement in computational performance over its fifth-generation predecessor, TPU v5e, while also doubling the capacity for High Bandwidth Memory, HBM. Companies are also focusing on custom ASICs to optimize energy efficiency and operational cost savings, especially for data centers that manage heavy AI workloads. SambaNova Systems, Inc. offers the DataScale platform, which combines a high-performance ASIC with an optimized software stack that supports efficient training and inference of enterprise and data-centric applications. However, the most advanced ASIC is Cerebras WSE-3, released in March 2024. This is a product featuring the world's largest chip designed specifically for AI processing. Its processing power focuses on speeding up AI training and inference, setting a new benchmark in the AI server market. These achievements mean fast development of ASIC technology and the contribution of this technology to developing the AI server market.

By Form Factor

The AI Server Market is divided into form factor, which comprises Rack-Mounted Servers, Blade Servers, Tower Servers, and Microservers. Indeed, Rack-Mounted Servers have dominated market shares, projected to go from USD 7.35 billion in 2023 up to USD 100.32 billion by 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 36.1% during the forecast period. Blade servers are likely to witness high growth at a CAGR of 35.4% in the forecast period, mainly because of their compact size and better computing power. Tower servers hold a huge market share in 2023 and are expected to remain the same during the forecast period. Microservers are likely to grow steadily with their cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency.

Regional Insights:

The Asia Pacific is expected to see a massive growth in the AI server market. This region houses some of the fastest-growing technology hubs located in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India, which are investing heavily in AI research and development. In July 2024, China Mobile Limited (China) announced a data center in Beijing that uses 4,000 AI accelerator cards. It has over 1,000 petaflops of AI computing power and uses 8,000 AI servers in its intelligent computing project. Japan is also investing in data center infrastructures because the adoption of cloud computing, big data analytics, and IoT technologies is increasing. Microsoft will be investing USD 2.9 billion in artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure in Japan as of April 2024, aimed at upgrading its digital capabilities and offering more advanced computing resources to speed up AI workloads. The investment will also go toward research, skills, and cybersecurity in the country. In similar fashion, Oracle has recently invested USD 8 billion in Japan. This happens as the demand for cloud computing and AI infrastructure goes up in the country. With such investment from technology companies, the demand and supply of AI servers are sure to increase in that region.
