Global server-market vendor revenue reached $166.3 billion in Q2 2026, increasing 52.0% year-over-year and 35.7% quarter-over-quarter.

A Telegram summary of International Data Corporation’s (IDC) latest report puts worldwide server-vendor revenue at $166.3 billion in the second quarter of 2026. Revenue increased 52.0% from the year-earlier quarter and 35.7% from the preceding quarter.

The result exceeded the previous quarterly record of $125.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. The reported measure covers global server-market vendor revenue, not GPU revenue, cloud-service revenue, or data-center construction spending.

IDC attributed the expansion principally to AI-infrastructure investment, alongside renewed shipment growth and rising average selling prices for both AI and conventional servers. The supplied summary does not quantify shipment growth or separate the contributions of pricing, AI servers, and conventional servers.
