The data center server market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the data center server market has been constantly increasing in the past few years. The market, which is expected to rise from $56.9 billion in 2024 to $59.65 billion in 2025, foresees a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The significant growth during the historic period can be credited to the surge in data creation, the adoption of cloud computing, the expansion of virtualization and consolidation, the need for high-performance computing (HPC), and the advent of big data analytics.
The Data Center Server market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The size of the data center server market is predicted to experience a significant surge in the upcoming years, expanding to $82.34 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.
This considerable increase during the forecast period can be credited to the widespread use of IoT, the focus on sustainability and green computing, improvements in cybersecurity, utilization of hybrid and multi-clouds, and the expansion of AI and machine learning. The upcoming trends expected in the forecast period involve the acceptance of open compute project (OCP) standards, designs focusing on security, optimization of data centers, advancements in high-performance computing (HPC), emergence of software-defined infrastructures and the adaptation of modular and scalable designs.
The projected surge in data traffic is poised to fuel the expansion of the data center server market. The term "data traffic" is used to describe the high bandwidth consumption involved in incessant, intensive network traffic paths. This data traffic aids data center servers in managing virtual or distal computer systems more efficiently and in enhancing the visibility of network devices, and therefore, a rise in data traffic would boost the data center server market. To illustrate, as per Ericsson, a multinational networking and telecom firm based in Sweden, the percentage of mobile data traffic accounted for by 5G was predicted to reach 69% by 2028, as of November 2022. Moreover, the global monthly data usage per smartphone is expected to average 19 GB in 2023 and is projected to escalate to 46 GB by 2028. Besides, overall worldwide data traffic, excluding traffic generated by Fixed Remote Access (FWA), is anticipated to hit around 90 EB per month by the end of 2022 and is estimated to increase approximately fourfold to 325 EB monthly in 2028. Consequently, growth in enterprise data traffic is stimulating the expansion of the data center server market.
