Industry Trends
01
Exponential Compute Demand
AI infra $28B (2020) → $97B (2024) → $311B (2030) · CAGR 28–34%
02
Inference Workload Dominance
Inference surpassed training as largest GPU workload category (35%+ in 2024)
03
Energy Infrastructure Bottleneck
DC power demand 300 GW → 500+ GW (2024–2030) · Permitting moratoriums active
04
Neocloud Tier Emergence
GPU-specialized clouds ~$23B aggregate (2025) · 205% YoY · <5% total cloud
05
Sovereign AI Demand
Nation-state programs (UAE, KSA, EU) · Multi-$B capex per country
06
GPU Price Compression
GPU-hr rates $8 → <$2 (2023–2025) · Margin pressure on grid operators
07
Green Compute as Procurement Gate
ESG transitioning from marketing to operational procurement criteria
08
Export Control Hardening
US BIS dual-use controls = dominant regulatory force for GPU geography
