The AI boom is usually discussed in terms of chips and software, but the market that’s actually larger lies beneath: data centers, power grids, and cooling systems. According to Gartner, AI infrastructure is expected to grow to over 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars by 2026, accounting for a good 45% of all AI spending. McKinsey even estimates that up to 7 trillion U.S. dollars in investment will be needed by 2030.
And it’s not just the big-name tech companies that are benefiting from this.$ANET (+2,25 %) And $CSCO (-0,28 %) supply the high-performance networks, $VRT (+3,54 %) and the cooling technology for data centers. What’s particularly exciting is that “traditional industry” is also playing a major role.
$ABBN (+2,73 %) and $SIE (+2,29 %) are seeing double-digit growth in the data center business; $SiemensEnergy provides the power connection, and $HOT (+2,97 %) has more than doubled its data center orders within twelve months—result: promotion to the DAX.
Anyone looking for the AI story only among chip manufacturers is overlooking the more exciting part of the physical infrastructure behind it.
