Data Center Capex Fueled by Hyperscalers in 2026 Forecast — Dell’Oro Group estimates that global data center capex will land at $377 billion by 2026, a figure led by the adoption of accelerated computing and new server CPU platforms.

In 2021 alone, the 10 largest cloud service providers spent more than $88 billion on capex. Dell’Oro estimates that hyperscale cloud service providers will account for more than half the market total by 2026.

“The hyperscale service providers will lead the market in investing in new accelerated computing technologies, with an emphasis on the cutting-edge server and network architectures, as well as enhanced thermal management solutions,” said Baron Fung, Research Director at Dell’Oro Group.

Edge computing will make up 8% of total data center spending by 2026, according to Dell’Oro.

“Lingering supply chain challenges, persistent inflationary pressures, and declining economic growth could weigh down on enterprise data center spending in the near term,” Fung said. “Despite these near-term uncertainties, our long-term outlook is optimistic, as enterprises undergo digital transformation initiatives, deploying new hybrid cloud workloads, and with the cloud service providers and telecom operators extending their infrastructure to the network edge.”
