The growing demand for cloud-based services is expected to significantly boost the growth of the data center accelerator market in the coming years. Cloud-based services are those offered over the Internet or through dedicated networks, providing on-demand capabilities that facilitate various payment options. These services enhance operational efficiency, prompting many organizations to adopt cloud infrastructure to optimize their operations. Utilizing cloud servers allows for increased data storage and easy access to that information. Consequently, the rising demand for cloud-based services is anticipated to drive growth in the data center accelerator market. For instance, according to Forbes, a U.S.-based business magazine, IBM's stock has increased by over 17% year-to-date, outperforming the Nasdaq-100, largely due to heightened interest in artificial intelligence and expectations of IT spending recovery in 2024. The company's Q4 2023 results surpassed expectations, with a 4% year-over-year revenue increase to $17.4 billion and earnings around $3.87 per share. Thus, the surge in demand for cloud-based services is propelling the growth of the data center accelerator market.

The rising number of data centers is anticipated to significantly drive the growth of the data center accelerator market in the coming years. A data center is a facility designed to house computer systems and associated equipment, including storage and telecommunications. It serves to store, process, and manage vast amounts of data while also distributing and facilitating access to these resources. Data center accelerators are becoming increasingly vital in these facilities, delivering substantial performance and efficiency improvements across a variety of workloads. For example, according to Savills, a UK-based real estate services firm, 60% of South Korea's data center capacity is currently concentrated in Seoul, with projections indicating this could increase to 80% by 2029. To alleviate this concentration, the Korean government is promoting data center development in other regions by providing incentives such as discounted power and infrastructure support. Therefore, the growing number of data centers is propelling the growth of the data center accelerator market.

Major companies operating in the data center accelerator market are adopting strategic partnerships to co-develop data center accelerator chips to drive their revenues in the market. These strategic collaborations are used to jointly launch advanced solutions, such as co-designed chips, intended to improve data center performance. For instance, in October 2022, Intel Corporation, a US-based semiconductor corporation, partnered with Google LLC, a US-based technology corporation, to jointly launch the E2000 chip, a co-designed chip to improve data center performance. E2000 is an infrastructure processing unit (IPU), which frees up the CPU to conduct computation by handling network processing activities. It also provides an additional layer of protection between various cloud service users by encrypting data. It is included in Google's latest virtual machine product, C3 VM, which is driven by Intel's fourth-generation Xeon CPUs.

Major companies in the data center accelerator market are increasingly focused on introducing advanced solutions, such as the Alveo U55C, to enhance their competitive positioning. Advanced data center accelerator solutions encompass specialized hardware and software components aimed at improving the performance, efficiency, and capabilities of data centers. For instance, in December 2023, Intel, a US-based semiconductor manufacturer, unveiled its 5th Generation Xeon Processors. These processors are engineered to significantly enhance performance for large-scale AI models and data center workloads, delivering up to 42% higher inference performance. This advancement enables data centers to manage complex AI tasks with greater efficiency. With its global presence, Intel can leverage a diverse pool of talent and resources, ensuring its competitiveness in the fast-evolving technology landscape.

In May 2023, KKR, a US-based global investment firm, acquired CoolIT for $270 million. This acquisition is intended to bolster KKR's position in the data center market by enhancing its capabilities in liquid cooling solutions. CoolIT is a UK-based company that specializes in advanced thermal management technologies tailored for data centers and high-performance computing environments.
