AI infrastructure spending to hit $1 trillion

Dell’Oro Group has revised its data center capex forecast upward to a 24 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) by 2028 as a result of surging demand in AI-related data center infrastructure.

“AI has the potential to generate more than a trillion dollars in AI-related infrastructure spending in cloud and enterprise data centers over the next five years,” said Baron Fung, Senior Research Director at Dell’Oro Group. “AI infrastructure, which includes servers with GPU or custom accelerators, along with dedicated networking, storage, and facilities, are highly capital-intensive. While the industry continues to assess the potential return on AI-related investments, major efforts have been underway in the ecosystem in achieving long-term sustainable capex growth,” explained Fung.
