According to the latest research from TrendForce, the value of the entire server industry is estimated to total US$306 billion in 2024. Within this total, the industry value specifically related to AI servers is estimated to be around US$205 billion, showing stronger growth compared with the industry value related to standard servers. Looking ahead to 2025, the value of the AI server segment is expected to rise to US$298 billion due to persistently high demand and a higher ASP for this product category. Additionally, AI servers are forecasted to account for over 70% of the total value of the entire server industry in 2025.
TrendForce’s latest investigations reveal that NAND Flash suppliers are expected to face mounting inventory levels and deteriorating demand for orders in 1Q25, with average contract prices forecast to decline by a QoQ of 10-15%. While wafer price declines are expected to narrow, enterprise SSD orders may offer some buffer against further price erosion. Client SSD and UFS products, on the other hand, are likely to experience continued price drops due to weak sales of consumer electronics and conservative buyer sentiment.
TrendForce’s latest investigations reveal that the DRAM market is expected to face downward pricing pressure in 1Q25 as seasonal weakness aligns with sluggish consumer demand for products like smartphones. Additionally, early stockpiling by notebook manufacturers—over potential import tariffs under the Trump administration—has further exacerbated the pricing decline.
As the market closely follows the progress of NVIDIA’s GB200 rack-mounted solution, TrendForce’s latest research indicates that the supply chain requires additional time for optimization and adjustment. This is largely due to the higher design specifications of the GB200 rack, including its requirements for high-speed interconnect interfaces and thermal design power (TDP), which significantly exceed market norms. Consequently, TrendForce projects that mass production and peak shipments are unlikely to occur until between Q2 and Q3 of 2025.
TrendForce’s latest investigations found that the enterprise SSD market experienced significant growth in 3Q24, driven by robust demand from AI-related applications. Prices surged as suppliers struggled to keep pace with market needs, pushing overall industry revenue up by an impressive 28.6% QoQ. Demand for high-capacity models was especially strong, fueled by the arrival of NVIDIA’s H-series products and sustained orders for AI training servers. As a result, the total procurement volume for enterprise SSDs rose 15% compared to the previous quarter.
