European Server Forecast, 2022-2026: Pent-Up Demand to Accelerate Growth

This IDC Market Share provides historical data (2017-2021) and forecast data (2022-2026) for the European server market. Forecast and historical data illustrate IT buyer consumption of server hardware segmented by product, central processing unit (CPU) type, server class, socket capability, and primary operating system. For each category, IDC has estimated value (end-user spending) and units."European companies retain a strong preference for deploying applications and workloads to their private IT infrastructures. After the initial disruption of a shift to public cloud caused by the pandemic, most companies are refocusing their attention on transforming their own IT to be more like the public cloud in financing and operations," said Andrew Buss, senior research director for IDC's European Infrastructure Strategies research. "As the market continues to evolve, we will see the increasing importance of flexible consumption models in enabling companies to have the best and most sustainable IT infrastructure backed up by the best in automation and IT operations."
