The AI accelerator market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $16.55 billion in 2024 to $20.95 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.6%. The expansion during the historic period can be credited to the growing demand for deep learning models, increased government investments, the rising adoption of AI in image and speech recognition technologies, the growing use of AI in precision agriculture, and the expansion of consumer electronics.
The AI accelerator market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $53.23 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.2%. The expansion in the forecast period can be credited to the growing deployment of AI servers, the rising demand for real-time data processing, the increasing use of IoT devices, the surge in AI research investments, and the growing generation of consumer data. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, machine learning, cloud-based AI solutions, AI chips, and cybersecurity.
The growing deployment of IoT devices is expected to drive the expansion of the AI accelerator market in the coming years. IoT devices are physical objects equipped with sensors, software, and connectivity features that enable data collection, exchange, and processing over the internet. Factors such as the increasing demand for automation, enhanced connectivity, and the rising adoption of smart devices among consumers are fueling the widespread use of IoT devices. AI accelerators enhance IoT functionality by enabling local data processing, reducing cloud transmission dependency, and improving decision-making speed, latency, and bandwidth efficiency. This leads to better performance in real-time applications such as smart homes, industrial automation, and healthcare. For example, in April 2024, a report published by Ericsson, a Sweden-based telecommunications company, stated that global IoT connections had reached 15.7 billion in 2023 and are projected to rise by 16% to 38.8 billion by 2029. As a result, the increasing adoption of IoT devices is significantly contributing to the growth of the AI accelerator market.
Leading companies in the AI accelerator market are focusing on innovations such as 5 nm node process technology to enhance performance, improve energy efficiency, and meet the growing demands of AI workloads. This semiconductor manufacturing process features transistors that are only 5 nanometers in size, enabling better performance, lower power consumption, and more compact chip designs. For example, in August 2024, IBM, a US-based technology company, introduced the Spyre accelerator chip, an advanced AI processing unit designed for IBM Z systems. With 32 cores and 25.6 billion transistors, this chip utilizes 5 nm node process technology to deliver both high performance and energy efficiency. It is mounted on PCIe cards that can be clustered to increase processing power, supporting large-scale AI inferencing and complex applications such as fraud detection and generative AI for business process automation and code modernization. Its architecture is specifically designed to manage AI workloads, allowing businesses to securely and efficiently deploy AI models on-premises.
In April 2024, IBM, a US-based technology company, formed a strategic partnership with Intel Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This collaboration aims to develop scalable, cost-effective, and secure AI solutions that enhance performance and support enterprise AI workloads across hybrid cloud environments. Intel Corporation, a US-based technology company, specializes in AI accelerators.
