The global server market sees moderate growth driven by AI investments and major cloud providers adopting advanced AI chips amid trade uncertainties.
Geopolitical and tariff risks accelerate US local server ODM production, with strong growth in AI server shipments driven by NVIDIA and AMD platforms; cooling technology advances boost supplier growth amid stable capacity and cautious demand.
Global cloud data centers rapidly adopt liquid cooling as the standard for AI server cooling, driving supply chain growth.
The AI server market is growing rapidly due to generative AI, driven by cloud service providers. AI server shipments are expected to continue to outpace general-purpose servers and account for a significant portion of the overall server market.
In 2025, the electronics industry sees diverging trends: strong AI demand, weak consumer devices, early pull-in erases seasonality, and future growth slows.
US policy shifts ease chip export bans, boosting AI server shipments growth; major tech firms expand AI data centers globally.
This issue highlights server ODMs, CPUs, GPUs, and key changes in the thermal supply chain. AI servers are the focus, CSPs keep ordering, ODMs prep for new platforms, Meta and Google push in-house CPUs, with rising cooling needs. Geopolitical risks still impact the outlook.
In 2025, global AI chips focus on high-end HBM memory; NVIDIA’s new Blackwell platform drives growth, amid geopolitical limits and steady AI server demand, with rapid HBM technology evolution toward HBM4 in 2026.
TrendForce combines its expertise in the Foundry/Server industry and leverages it with the supply chain to accurately estimate AI chip shipments, AI Server application ratios, AI major suppliers' analysis, and the adoption of AI memory.
North American CSPs & OEMs drive AI market growth; new Blackwell platform shipments will expand. China's market faces variables due to geopolitics affecting AI solution supply. Overall AI server shipments are expected to maintain double-digit growth.
