Based on the service model, the market is segmented into SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. The SaaS segment held over 55% of the market share in 2023 and is expected to cross USD 35 billion by 2032. The SaaS service model eliminates the need for hardware maintenance and updates, as the service provider manages software, patching, and scaling. This ease of use attracts companies looking to reduce operational burdens while accessing high-performance computing.
 

Additionally, SaaS-based GPUaaS allows organizations to scale their GPU resources as needed. This scalability is particularly beneficial for companies with changing workloads or those needing GPUs for specific projects, such as AI model training or 3D rendering, without long-term commitments. This is expected to drive the growth SaaS model during the forecast period.
 

Based on end-user, the GPU as a service market is segmented into gaming, design & manufacturing, automotive, real estate, healthcare and others. The gaming segment held around 31% of the market in 2023. Modern games need high-quality graphics, real-time rendering, and immersive environments, which require powerful GPUs. GPUaaS allows gaming companies to provide gamers with enhanced visual experiences, such as ray tracing and 4K resolution, without needing expensive gaming PCs. Additionally, GPUaaS can handle real-time rendering for complex scenes, simulations, and physics-based interactions, which are essential in modern, graphics-intensive games like first-person shooters (FPS), MMORPGs, and open-world titles.
 

North America holds around 37% of the GPU as a service market share in 2023 and is expected to expand significantly through 2032. The growth of the market in the region can be attributed to the presence of leading cloud service providers including AWS, Microsoft Corporation and Google LLC which are driving the expansion of GPUaaS offerings.
 

These companies offer scalable, reliable, and secure GPUaaS solutions, enabling enterprises to use cloud-based GPUs for various applications, including gaming, AI, and data analytics. Furthermore, the strong cloud infrastructure in the U.S. and Canada supports fast and widespread adoption of GPUaaS. These providers are continuously innovating and adding advanced GPUs to their platforms, making high-performance computing accessible to businesses of all sizes and boosting the region's market growth.
 

The European Union's high investment in AI and digital transformation is driving demand for GPUaaS, as AI research and development require significant GPU power. Countries including Germany, France, and the U.K. are witnessing growth in AI startups and academic institutions that use cloud-based GPUs for developing advanced AI applications, such as autonomous systems, robotics, and natural language processing. Also, the European AI strategy, which aims to enhance AI capabilities in healthcare, transport, and manufacturing, is further increasing the need for GPUaaS, allowing companies to scale AI infrastructure without large capital investments.
 

Major countries in the Asia Pacific including India, China, Japan and Singapore are experiencing a rapid adoption of AI and big data analytics, especially in sectors such as fintech, healthcare, and smart cities. The need for computational for AI applications and real-time data processing is driving these markets towards GPUaaS as a scalable solution.
