The high performance computing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been robust growth in the size of the high performance computing market. From $52.89 billion in 2024, it is expected to expand to $56.39 billion in 2025, a growth impelled by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%.
This growth during the historic period can be ascribed to factors such as the expansion of data analytics and big data processing, progress in parallel processing, as well as a surge in demand within the financial services sector.
The high performance computing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size for high-performance computing is projected to experience a swift expansion. By 2029, it is anticipated to reach $85.81 billion, boasting an 11.1% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). This surge in growth over the forecast period stems from increased demand for precise simulation, climate modelling, and sustainability, as well as the ongoing expansion in genomics and bioinformatics. The forecast period will also see significant trends such as cybersecurity and threat detection, a boom in AI and deep learning, cloud-based HPC service growth, AI integration, and a concentrated focus on energy efficiency.
The surging requirement for swift and accurate data processing is fueling growth in the high-performance computing market. The process of data processing involves gathering data and turning it into valuable information. It's crucial that this process is expedited and done right, so as not to negatively impact the output or results. High-performance computing (HPC) enables users to sift through enormous volumes of data at a faster rate than standard computers, delivering quicker insights, and providing businesses with a competitive edge. For example, Statistics Canada 2023, a national statistics agency based in Canada, reported that in 2022, internet usage among those aged 15 and above in Canada soared to 95%, up from 92% in 2020, reflecting a continued rise in online participation. Thus, the escalating demand for speedy and precise data processing is set to boost the expansion of the high-performance computing market.

Leading businesses in the high-performance computing sector are prioritizing strategic partnerships to deliver state-of-the-art solutions and innovations. This type of collaboration is a mutually advantageous alliance where several autonomous entities work together to achieve common goals in line with their own strategic targets. For instance, in July of 2023, HCLTech, a tech firm based in India, declared a partnership with the US-based technology firm, Microsoft. The primary goal of this partnership is to deliver high-performance computing (HPC) solutions to clients across various sectors. HCLTech plans to train 3,000 professionals over the course of three years and create a unique lab that will function as a center of excellence (CoE) in association with Microsoft. These solutions will incorporate HCLTech's proficiency in advanced engineering services with Microsoft's Azure cloud HPC technologies. The purpose of this collaboration is to provide clients with access to HPC resources, including basic infrastructure, advanced analytics, machine learning and simulation capabilities.
