Data Center Blade Server Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Function (Web Hosting, Virtualization, Cluster Computing), By End-User (Colocation Service Provider, Cloud Service Providers, Enterprise), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2020 To 2025

Global Data Center Blade Server market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.35% during the forecast period, reaching a total market size of US$23.535 billion in 2025 from US$14.548 billion in 2019. The demand for data centers blade servers is increasing due to the growing focus on low power consumption and high productivity in the existing infrastructure.

The data center blade server market growth is driving because of less usage of physical space and energy providing more processing power in less space which further deducts the primary expenses for the enterprise. The installation of the data center blade server even reduces secondary costs like hardware cabling cost, facility charges, and the personnel hours required to configure and to manage systems. The rise in demand for the data center blade server is also attributed to the fact that they are a great substitute for traditional racks and tower servers that occupy a large surface area and consume a huge amount of power. The increasing computer density, business optimization needs, and virtualization are also the reason for the growing demand for data center blade servers. Companies are increasingly demanding data center blade servers to streamline their IT operations and to speed up their delivery of services. The increasing adoption of virtualization applications, increasing load on data centers, and effective utilization of data center space are also key drivers for the data center blade server market.

The data center blade server is segmented by function, end-user, and geography. On the basis of function, the data center blade server market is segmented into web hosting, virtualization, and cluster computing. The market is also segmented on the basis of users as a colocation service providers, cloud service providers, and enterprises.

Cluster Computing and Web Hosting holds a notable share

The cluster computing and web hosting segments hold a notable share in the data center blade server market. The increasing requirement of storage space and connectivity around the world with its branches, clients, and vendors through the network will provide businesses with better accessibility and wider reach to its customers.  The virtualization segment will witness a substantial CAGR during the forecast period owing to rising investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications like augmented reality (AR). Virtualization is providing more space for enterprises and colocation centers, making more space for cloud computing and a bigger platform to share with their clients. The increase in usage of web hosting, virtualization, and cluster computing is due to a reduction in cost, efficient delivery service, wider reach, flexibility, scalability, and management of multiple infrastructures at once.

Colocation Service providers to witness considerable market growth
