Across the processor landscape, the AI hardware market is segmented into graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units (CPUs), tensor processing units (TPUs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and neural processing units (NPUs). Among these, GPUs held the dominant share of the market in 2024, accounting for approximately 39% of total revenue. From 2025 to 2034, this segment is expected to grow at a CAGR exceeding 18%. The dominance of GPUs can be attributed to their unmatched capabilities in parallel computing, memory handling, and their efficiency in training and running inference models. These features have made GPUs essential to both enterprise-grade AI platforms and research institutions that require scalable performance for complex model development.

When viewed through the lens of memory and storage, the AI hardware market includes high bandwidth memory (HBM), AI-optimized DRAM, non-volatile memory, and emerging memory technologies. In 2024, the high bandwidth memory segment captured the largest share, contributing 47% of the total market. The segment is forecasted to expand at a CAGR of over 19% during the forecast period. This surge in demand is largely influenced by the growing need for speed and bandwidth in AI systems. As AI models become more sophisticated and data-heavy, high bandwidth memory enables near-instant data retrieval, which is critical for achieving seamless performance, particularly in real-time applications. This capability allows enterprises to minimize latency, enhance responsiveness, and better manage workload processing.

On the basis of application, data center and cloud computing remain the largest contributors to market revenue. The segment continues to expand rapidly as the need for scalable, high-performance infrastructure intensifies. The proliferation of AI models with massive training and inference requirements is driving companies to build data centers specifically designed to support AI workloads. These centers are equipped with cutting-edge accelerators and components tailored for efficient AI execution. Organizations are prioritizing investment in purpose-built infrastructure that not only meets current AI needs but also anticipates the demands of future models.

In regional terms, the United States led the AI hardware market in North America, accounting for nearly 91% of the regional revenue share and generating around USD 19.8 billion in 2024. This stronghold is driven by the country's leadership in technology innovation, a robust supply chain, and access to advanced semiconductor manufacturing capabilities. The U.S. remains a global hub for AI hardware development, supported by a rich ecosystem of hardware companies, research institutions, and cloud service providers.

Leading companies in the AI hardware market include NVIDIA, Intel, Qualcomm Technologies, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Apple, Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, IBM, Samsung Electronics, and others. These firms are consistently investing in the development of custom chips, high-performance processors, and next-generation accelerators to support the evolving needs of AI-powered systems. Their efforts are crucial in shaping the next phase of the global AI hardware landscape.
