GPU as a Service Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing demand for ML and AI to propel market growth

The global GPU as a service industry is expected to grow owing to the increasing demand for machine learning and AI solutions in the technologically-driven world. These advanced technical features are becoming increasingly popular in revolutionizing the world due to their capabilities to solve complex mathematical and scientific problems. As humankind aims to cross all technical and research boundaries across sectors, AI and ML systems are expected to soon become integral to the economic growth of many nations.

Some factors that are pushing the utilization of these advanced systems include features like personalized customer experience, predictive maintenance, and enabling image or speech recognition. Furthermore, GPUaaS offer tremendous flexibility and scalability since these services can be toned up or down depending on the client's need and the customers have to pay only for the used services.

GPU as a Service Market: Restraints

Existing concerns over vendor lock-in to restrict market expansion

Vendor lock-in is a situation in which the client becomes excessively reliant on a certain service provider, vendor, or technology and hence it becomes difficult for them to switch to other options otherwise they may have to bear significant losses or service disruptions. In the global industry, various companies are now witnessing a rising number of concerns over vendor lock-in and it may restrict industrial growth over the coming years.
