Gartner: GenAI spurs 9.3% increase in IT spending for 2025
Gartner identifies generative AI as a pivotal force in tech investments for the year ahead, with the research firm’s latest projections placing global IT spending at $5.74 trillion by 2025.
The Gartner forecast highlights server sales, which are expected to triple in the coming years as genAI pushes data center systems spending up by 15.5% in 2025. Gartner reported that server sales will grow from more than $134 billion in 2023 to $332 billion by 2028, including an estimated more than $257 billion in 2025. Similar to its July forecast, Gartner points to genAI as a driving factor in high-tech investments going forward.
“GenAI will easily eclipse the effects that cloud and outsourcing vendors had on previous years regarding data center systems,” said John-David Lovelock, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner, in a statement. “It took 20 years for the cloud and outsourcing vendors to build up spending to $67 billion a year on servers. The demand of genAI will help nearly triple server sales from 2023 to 2028.”
