Overview of the GPU Market

Mobile GPUs have become the latest in-demand stock, driving the graphics processor market. Consequently, big tech giants like Samsung, Apple, and Xiaomi are battling to outdo each other in 5G smartphone manufacturing, which boosts GPU sales and enhances the market’s reputation. Furthermore, global 5G subscriptions are set to surge from a mere 12 million in 2019 to over 4.5 billion by 2028, hinting at heightened success for the GPU industry.

PCs and gaming consoles, however, maintain the lead for the most used GPUs, particularly in the Asia Pacific. India, Japan, and South Korea represent the largest market share of the GPU industry. The persistence in innovating new technologies and expanding the gaming sector in these countries has catalyzed their ascent to the top of the list. For instance, India had well over 490 million recognized gamers in 2023, a figure soon to surge to roughly 500 million by 2025, about 20.7% CAGR.  

By 2028, India, Nepal, and Bhutan will lead in 5G mobile subscriptions within their region, signaling that the Asia Pacific will remain the biggest consumer of processors.

The Latest Developments in The GPU industry 

Intel, Nvidia, and AMD are the key players in the current GPU market. These firms have prioritized ingenuity and innovation to consolidate competitive leads for improved revenue sales. In October 2023, AMD released its fastest laptop graphics card, the AMD Radeon RX 7900M, contributing to the chipmaker’s ascent of market share by 2.2%.

Furthermore, in November, Intel collaborated with VMware Inc. to streamline the deployment and optimization of AI-driven applications and services, facilitating access to private AI.
