Enterprises and cloud providers alike are opening their wallets for AI-related hardware and software, with data center systems leading the charge, according to the research firm. "AI infrastructure growth remains rapid despite concerns about an AI bubble, with spending rising across AI‑related hardware and software," John-David Lovelock, distinguished VP analyst at Gartner said in the report. "Demand from hyperscale cloud providers continues to drive investment in servers optimized for AI workloads."

Gartner predicts that global spending on AI will reach $2.52 trillion in 2026. That is an increase of 44 percent compared to the previous year. Much of the growth is expected to be driven by AI infrastructure, particularly investments in AI-optimized servers, which are expected to increase by 49 percent and account for 17 percent of the total AI spend.
