Worldwide HPC Server Market Forecast by Competitive Segment, 2022-2027

HPC in the cloud has undergone significant growth in the past few years, attracting new users and more fully supporting existing users. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are key to this growth as they are taking a stronger interest in the HPC market, focusing on delivering capabilities that more closely match on-premise systems in performance, security, and in some cases, price. This major shift in the sector has prompted Hyperion Research to revise its HPC cloud forecast to include an additional $1 billion in 2019, up from its original $3 billion.

Hyperion Research forecasts that the worldwide HPC server-based AI market will expand at a robust 27.1% CAGR from 2017-2022 to reach $1.6 billion in 2022, up more than four-and-a-half-fold from $346 million in 2016, the first year in which we tracked this figure. We define the HPC AI market as a subset of the high-performance data analysis (HPDA) market that includes machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL) and other AI workloads running on HPC servers.
