Hardware segment of micro server IC market to hold highest market share during the forecast period
Hardware is expected to constitute the largest market share of micro server ICs during the forecast year. Since hardware constitutes the main part of an SoC, companies such as Intel and ARM are working toward increasing the capability of their ICs by making the architecture denser and more efficient. Rising adoption of micro servers for dedicated hosting, front-end web, big data workloads, content delivery network, computing applications, and low space and application-specific functionality drive market growth. Moreover, the emerging edge computing ecosystem, namely the provisioning of advanced computational, storage and networking capability near data sources to achieve both low-latency event processing and high-throughput analytical processing, is expected to drive the market for micro server hardware in the coming years.

Egde computing application to hold highest CAGR in micro server IC market
Edge computing is one of the emerging applications for micro server ICs and is expected to hold the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The implementation of hyperscale cloud and growing investments in IoT have pushed edge computing into further limelight. As organizations strive to remain competitive in the digital business era, especially in a post-pandemic world, edge computing is a new enabler of customer insights and retention. Independent software vendors, system integrators, and enterprises will look to build cloud-independent solutions which will drive edge computing applications. Additionally, the growing adoption of 5G solutions will offer reduced latency and a way to connect the rising number of edge devices, particularly in the consumer space. There has been the rising need for edge computing for applications such as connected and autonomous vehicles, smart manufacturing and IoT, and smart cities. It has spurred the growth of edge data centers, and the rising importance of compact servers due to space constraints provides opportunity for micro servers.

Micro server IC market in APAC to grow at the highest rate
APAC is expected to grow at the fastest rate for the micro server IC market owing to the presence of countries with large populations and rising adoption of micro servers across small and medium enterprises. The increasing penetration of internet services, along with the adoption of smart devices, has been fueling data generation. This further fuels the expansion of data centers in the APAC region. Rising importance of micro servers due to low power consumption and cost-effective solutions can be used for light load applications in data centers, which also drives the growth of the market. Data centers have become the hotspot of the IT market in China in recent years. China plans to invest an estimated USD 1.4 trillion over 6 years to 2025, in collaboration with government and private technology giants such as Alibaba and Huawei to generate opportunities for connected devices, AI, and autonomous driving applications, which will further drive edge computing applications.
