EMEA Server Forecast, 2023-2027: Depleted Backlogs and Earlier Success Trigger Deceleration, But Growth Expected Shortly After

This IDC Market Forecast provides historical data (2021-2022) and forecast data (2023-2027) for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa server (EMEA) 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."The server market has become a victim of its own success in 2022. This is not exclusive to the EMEA market, but is a tendency we have seen worldwide," said Luis Fernandes, senior research manager, IDC EMEA Future of Digital Infrastructure. "These headwinds will probably last for the remainder of 2023, with 2024 showing signs of recovery and fast growth fueled by new projects and emerging technologies and regulations."
