High-Frequency Trading Server Market: ARM-Based Processor Segment Is Anticipated To Register The Fastest CAGR
High-frequency Trading Server Industry Overview
The global high-frequency trading server market size is expected to reach USD 501.0 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 3.5% from 2020 to 2028, according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. In the trading industry, servers play a pivotal role in reducing tick-to-trade delays; this is driving the product demand. Furthermore, with improvements in server technology over the years, high-frequency trading (HFT) servers, in particular, have witnessed several advancements in terms of processor technology, which is creating opportunities for industry growth. These advancements are fueled by the need to track stock markets where every nanosecond counts and are expected to become an indispensable element of the finance sector over the coming years.
Increased adoption of algorithmic trading in global financial markets has encouraged companies in the financial sector to opt for high-speed transactions. Technological advancements, such as integrating AI and social media feeds with electronic trading, are expected to drive the demand for high-speed trading transactions. Thus, the demand for low-latency trading servers has increased tremendously among the derivatives, quantitative, and proprietary trading firms. Asia Pacific has become one of the new revenue pockets for market growth.
Favorable government regulations for the implementation of automated trading and new investment law in China have emerged as potential revenue streams for the vendors. Furthermore, the surge in adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning technology by small-sized hedge fund firms, is anticipated to drive the overall product demand over the forecast period. A competitive edge is now determined by nanoseconds and microseconds. Speed is important to market participants, such as large investment banks, hedge funds, and other financial companies, because it impacts profitability, and hence the deployment of HFT servers is of paramount importance.
High-frequency Trading Server Market Segmentation
Grand View Research has segmented the global high-frequency trading server market on the basis of processor, form factor, application, and region:
Based on the Processor Insights, the market is segmented into X-86-based, ARM-based, and Non-x86-based (MIPS, Imagination).
- The x-86 segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 80% in 2020. The segment growth can be attributed to the large-scale adoption of x-86 core processors and industry dependency on software code based on the x-86 architecture.
- The ARM-based processor segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The segment growth can be attributed to the increased adoption of cloud-based migration tools that help vendors port server applications on ARM architecture.
Based on the Form Factor Insights, the market is segmented into 1U, 2U, 4U, and Others (3U, 5U, 6U, 7U).
- The 2U segment accounted for the highest revenue share of over 42% in 2020 and will expand further at the fastest CAGR from 2021 to 2028 2U form factor allows SMEs to scale up IT infrastructure at a lower cost. The 2U form factor also offers greater flexibility in singular chassis, which enables high-speed transaction on several computer systems.
- The 4U servers segment is anticipated to register the second-highest CAGR over the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increased adoption of virtualized data centers. In addition, considering their technical specification, 4U servers provide improved scalability with up to eight full-height and full-length PCI Express slots.
Based on the Application Insights, the market is segmented into Equity Trading, Forex Markets, Commodity Markets, and Others (Bonds and Other Derivatives).
