The "2025 China Artificial Intelligence Computing Power Development Assessment Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "report") jointly launched by International Data Corporation IDC and Tide Information on the 13th shows that the global artificial intelligence server market size is 125.1 billion US dollars in 2024, will increase to 158.7 billion US dollars in 2025, and is expected to reach 222.7 billion US dollars in 2028. Among them, the proportion of generative AI servers will increase from 29.6% in 2025 to 37.7% in 2028.

The report believes that large models and generative artificial intelligence have pushed up the demand for computing power, and the growth rate of China's intelligent computing power development level is higher than expected, and the growth rate of intelligent computing power is much higher than that of general computing power.

Specifically, in terms of computing power scale, in 2024, China's general computing power scale reached 71.5EFLOPS(one billion billion floating point operations per second), an increase of 20.6%; The scale of intelligent computing power reached 725.3EFLOPS, an increase of 74.1% year-on-year, and the increase of intelligent computing power was more than three times the increase of general computing power. In 2025, the scale of China's general computing power is expected to reach 85.8EFLOPS, an increase of 20%. The increase in intelligent computing power will reach 1037.3EFLOPS, an increase of 43% year-on-year.

In terms of market size, the report shows that in 2024, China's artificial intelligence computing market size reached 19 billion US dollars, an increase of 86.9%, and is expected to reach 25.9 billion US dollars in 2025, an increase of 36.2%.

The report also believes that the demand for large-model scenarios is growing rapidly, and for the problems of short supply of high-performance computing power and low utilization rate of computing power, it is necessary to adopt a parallel strategy of "expansion" and "improvement" of computing power.
