MarketsandMarkets expects the global High Performance Computing as a Service market to grow from USD 5.7 billion in 2018 to USD 10.0 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period. Reduced capital costs reduced operational costs, and lack of access to an on-premise datacenter are some of the general drivers for the adoption of HPCaaS. Apart from these drivers, extra capacity to handle overflow/surge workloads, provision of a separate environment for development projects/testing and testing the viability of use cases/workloads/applications are expected to propel the market growth.
The healthcare and life sciences segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2018 to 2023. A number of life science applications are expected to increase in future, thus leading to an increase in data storage requirements. Data-Intensive applications such as genomics, protein modeling, personalized medicine, and data mining that require real-time data processing are expected to drive the adoption of HPCaaS. Hosted private cloud is expected to grow at the highest CAGR due to the increased demand for security, control, and reliability among businesses.
Platform as a service is expected to grow at the highest CAGR. Majority of Independent Software Vendors (ISV’s) are delivering or are planning to deliver cloud-based versions of their offerings for HPC. Major roadblocks for “as a service” adoption is the cost of the licensed or commercial products and they are bulky to run on the cloud and are too expensive. APAC is expected to experience the highest growth in the HPCaaS market, as China is emphasizing on enhancing its supercomputing capabilities. Recently, China topped with 202 supercomputers in the world’s top 500 supercomputers survey.
