Worldwide Server Forecast, 2024-2028

This IDC study provides historical data (2019-2023) and forecast data (2024-2028) for the worldwide server market. The forecast and historical data illustrates IT buyer consumption of server hardware segmented by product, CPU type, server class, socket capability, primary operating system, and major geographical region. For each of these categories, IDC has estimated value (end-user spending) and server units shipped."Server spending grew in 2023 because of the investments that hyperscalers and a few other large organizations made in accelerated compute," said Kuba Stolarski, research vice president, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms, and Technologies Group, IDC. "While macroeconomic conditions subdued the rest of the market, once the economy is healthy again, market growth should accelerate, driven by the intersection of AI, cloud, and edge."
