GPU as a Service Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing demand for ML and AI to propel market growth

The global GPU as a service industry is expected to grow owing to the increasing demand for machine learning and AI solutions in the technologically-driven world. These advanced technical features are becoming increasingly popular in revolutionizing the world due to their capabilities to solve complex mathematical and scientific problems. As humankind aims to cross all technical and research boundaries across sectors, AI and ML systems are expected to soon become integral to the economic growth of many nations.

Some factors that are pushing the utilization of these advanced systems include features like personalized customer experience, predictive maintenance, and enabling image or speech recognition. Furthermore, GPUaaS offer tremendous flexibility and scalability since these services can be toned up or down depending on the client's need and the customers have to pay only for the used services.

GPU as a Service Market: Restraints

Existing concerns over vendor lock-in to restrict market expansion

Vendor lock-in is a situation in which the client becomes excessively reliant on a certain service provider, vendor, or technology and hence it becomes difficult for them to switch to other options otherwise they may have to bear significant losses or service disruptions. In the global industry, various companies are now witnessing a rising number of concerns over vendor lock-in and it may restrict industrial growth over the coming years. Furthermore, the adoption of GPUaaS necessitates the use of skilled professionals trained in machine learning, GPU programming, and deep learning. The lack of professionals could limit the growth of the global GPU as a service market.

GPU as a Service Market: Opportunities

Growing cloud adoption to provide multiple growth opportunities

As cloud technology is soon taking over the technical or non-technical industries and the trend is expected to continue growing in the coming years, the global industry players are projected to be provided with multiple growth opportunities presenting significant opportunities for GPUaaS providers. As more organizations move their workloads to the cloud for better functionality and performance output, the demand for GPUaaS is expected to increase. In addition to this, growing collaborations between cloud providers, GPUaaS providers, hardware vendors, and software providers could work in the favor of the GPU as a service industry.

GPU as a Service Market: Challenges

Reducing the cost of the services poses a challenge for the market

The services offered in the global GPU as a service industry are highly expensive owing to the complex nature of the devices and the service. The high cost may prohibit certain segments of the potential client group to adopt these computer resources required for the functioning of GPUaaS. In addition to this, the service is not well-performing in on-premises settings and thus has a limited performance scale.

GPU as a Service Market: Segmentation

The global GPU as a service market is segmented based on delivery model, component, application, and region.

Based on delivery mode, the global market segments are private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud. During 2022, the highest growth was in the public cloud segment since many companies and small to large organizations moved their workload to public cloud service providers like AWS. As per the Synergy Research Group, the global public cloud market grew by over 35% during 2020. Some factors that contribute to the high segmental growth include higher cost-effectiveness since it is based on a pay-per-view model and scalability. Public cloud providers typically offer high levels of reliability and uptime making them highly efficient.

Based on component, the GPU as a service industry segments are services and software.

Based on application, the global industry is divided into real estate, gaming, automotive, healthcare, and others. As per the recent trend, the healthcare sector is expected to emerge as the highest contributing sector during the forecast period. GPUaaS in healthcare is highly advantageous when used in areas like medical imaging, disease diagnosis, drug discovery, and personalized medicine. The global healthcare AI sector may grow by more than 45% by the end of the decade.
