GPU Market Size and Share (2025–2026)

Bigger than the market: analysts size the whole 2025 GPU market at $57.71 billion to $81.2 billion, yet NVIDIA alone booked $162.4 billion of data center compute in its latest year. By units, the picture flips again: Intel ships most PC GPUs, and NVIDIA ships 90% of graphics cards.

Bigger Than the Market

Global GPU market size, 2025: six analyst estimates on one scale, against the data center compute revenue NVIDIA reported for its fiscal 2026. Each label shows how many times the lowest estimate it is.

Analysts count revenue from GPUs as each firm defines them, and the definitions are not published in full. NVIDIA's fiscal 2026 ran from late January 2025 to Jan 25, 2026, so it overlaps calendar 2025 by 11 of 12 months. Mordor Intelligence uses a 2026 base year ($144.8B) and is left off this 2025 scale.

Lines join only the values each publisher states; the segments between them are straight lines, not yearly forecasts. End years differ (2030 to 2034), so the 2.6× spread compares Fortune BI's 2034 value with TBRC's 2030 value. KBV Research publishes no 2025 or 2026 total, only its 2033 forecast of $396.9B (15.2% a year from 2026), so it is not drawn.

How big is the GPU market?

Analysts put the global GPU market at $57.71 billion to $81.2 billion in 2025. TechSci Research has the lowest estimate, followed by The Business Research Company ($72.03 billion), Fortune Business Insights ($78.60 billion) and IMARC Group ($81.2 billion). KBV Research, whose report started this graphic, does not publish a 2025 total. It says discrete GPUs alone were worth $81.0 billion and "dominated the market", so its total must be higher.

Those totals are hard to square with what GPU makers report. NVIDIA booked $162.4 billion of data center compute revenue in its fiscal year ended Jan. 25, 2026, which is twice the highest whole-market estimate. Even Global Market Insights' broader graphics card market ($142.9 billion in 2025) falls short of it. The likely reason is definition: some firms count GPU chips, while NVIDIA sells complete accelerator systems with memory, packaging, CPUs and software. Readers should treat any single "GPU market size" as one firm's definition, not a measured total.

How fast is the GPU market growing?

KBV Research forecasts the GPU market will reach $396.9 billion by 2033, growing 15.2% a year from 2026. Other publishers range from $249.89 billion by 2030 (The Business Research Company, 28.1% a year) to $642.74 billion by 2034 (Fortune Business Insights, 26.10% a year). Within KBV's report, each large segment roughly triples: discrete GPUs from $81.0 billion to $243.6 billion, servers and data center accelerators from $51.0 billion to $148.8 billion, and PCs and workstations from $32.3 billion to $97.5 billion. KBV expects automotive GPUs to grow fastest, at 16.9% a year, to $29.4 billion.

What is NVIDIA's GPU market share?

NVIDIA shipped 90% of desktop graphics cards in the second quarter of 2026, according to Jon Peddie Research. AMD shipped 8% and Intel 2% of the 12.5 million add-in boards sold that quarter. Shipments rose 10% from the first quarter even as memory shortages pushed prices up; JPR's theory is that buyers rushed to purchase before prices rose further.

Counted across all PC graphics, including the integrated GPUs built into processors, NVIDIA's share is just 23%. Intel leads with 56% of the 75.5 million PC GPUs shipped in the quarter, and AMD has 21%, up from 14% a year earlier.

How much of NVIDIA's revenue comes from gaming GPUs?

Gaming was 7.4% of NVIDIA's $215.9 billion fiscal 2026 revenue, or $16.0 billion. That was still 41% more than the year before and 4.1 times AMD's 2025 Gaming business ($3.9 billion), which also includes chips for game consoles. Data center sales, at $193.7 billion including networking, made up 89.7% of NVIDIA's revenue.

Methodology & caveats

All money values are nominal U.S. dollars as published. Analyst market sizes come from each publisher's public report summary; the full reports and their definitions are paywalled, and scopes differ (GPU chips, GPU cards, or both). KBV Research's figures are taken from ResearchAndMarkets.com, which resells the report; KBV does not publish a 2025 or 2026 total, and its summary is internally inconsistent about which device segment grows fastest (automotive at 16.9% vs. a "highest" 15.6% for mobile devices). TechSci Research lists its report as upcoming. Mordor Intelligence uses a 2026 base year, so it appears only in the forecast chart.

NVIDIA's fiscal 2026 ended Jan. 25, 2026 and AMD's 2025 ended Dec. 27, 2025; neither matches the calendar year exactly. NVIDIA's data center compute revenue includes CPUs, systems and software as well as GPUs. Unit shares are Jon Peddie Research's whole-percent chart labels for Q2 2026 (and Q2 2025), so they can sum to 99% or 101%. Ratios such as 2.0×, 2.6×, 4.1× and 7.4% are derived from the published values.
