In 2018, Hyperion Research officially released its first market sizing and forecast for HPC spending in third-party clouds, projecting a spend of $7.4 billion in 2023 on HPC cloud resources. After a year of in- depth studies, interviews, and research, the forecast incorporates new findings that reflect a significant shift in the market, especially in the past twelve months, increasing our 2019 cloud spending forecast by $1 billion.

Hyperion Research forecasts that the worldwide HPC server application workloads, representing the split-out of the HPC server market by application segments, will expand at a 9.8% CAGR to more than $19.5 billion in 2022, up from $12.2 billion in 2017 (see Figure 1).
