The micro server ic market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In recent times, the market size of micro server IC has experienced rapid growth. It is projected to expand from $1.66 billion in 2024 to $1.88 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%.
This significant growth during the historical period can be linked to issues related to energy efficiency, an increase in motor failures, objectives to reduce costs, the implementation of predictive maintenance, and a surge in industrial automation.
The micro server ic market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the micro server IC market is forecasted to experience substantial growth, to $3.21 billion by 2029 with a CAGR of 14.3%.
Several factors that could spur growth during this period include the need for remote monitoring, rising renewable energy initiatives, smart manufacturing efforts, attention to condition-based monitoring, concerns over cybersecurity, and integration with analytics platforms. Key trends during this forecasted period include advancements in condition-based monitoring, integration with control systems, cloud-based solutions, along with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and customization tailored for particular industries.
The growth of the micro server IC market is predicted to be propelled by the escalating demand for new data centers. Data centers are facilities which consolidate a company's collective IT infrastructure and operations for data storage and processing. Micro server ICs are gaining popularity in data center applications due to their cost-efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and compact physical size. Therefore, the upward trend in the need for new data centers is anticipated to fuel the micro server IC market. In January 2022, for example, a partnership was announced between STACK Infrastructure, a US-based IT company offering digital infrastructure, and Oaktree Capital Management L.P., a US-based asset management firm, to build a 36MW data center facility in Inzai, Japan. The project kicked off in the second quarter of 2022 and its capacity is expected to be operational in the final quarter of 2023. Furthermore, by 2030, it's projected by Huawei's Intelligent World 2030 report that the amount of data produced worldwide will surpass one yottabyte (equivalent to a quadrillion gigabytes) by 2030. Consequently, the surge in the demand for fresh data centers is propelling the expansion of the micro server IC market.
