Record Revenue Milestone in Q3 2025

The global server market achieved a historic milestone in the third quarter of 2025, generating an impressive $112.4 billion in revenue. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), this latest period marked another round of high double-digit growth, with overall vendor revenue surging 61% year-over-year compared to the same quarter in 2024.

Robust Growth Across Server Architectures

Breaking down the figures by architecture, x86 servers recorded a strong 32.8% increase in revenue, reaching $76.3 billion. Notably, non-x86 servers experienced an even more dramatic expansion, posting a 192.7% increase to hit $36.2 billion. Servers equipped with embedded GPUs also played a pivotal role, with revenue climbing 49.4% and accounting for more than half of the total server market revenue.

AI and Cloud Adoption Fueling Expansion

Hyperscalers and major cloud service providers have been quick to embrace servers featuring embedded GPUs, a trend that has significantly fueled market growth. Consequently, the cumulative server market revenue for the first three quarters of 2025 nearly doubled, reaching an astonishing $314.2 billion. Juan Seminara, Research Director at IDC Worldwide Enterprise Infrastructure Trackers, noted, “IDC expects AI adoption to keep growing at an outstanding pace as major vendors continue reporting record orders and showing strong backlogs. Hyperscalers and cloud providers are still ahead with new, large deployments that require much higher compute density.” He further added that emerging AI-based research and education initiatives are set to bolster the market further.

Regional Leaders and Sectoral Growth

Regionally, the United States led the charge with an impressive 79.1% growth compared to Q3 2024, driven by an extraordinary 105.5% increase in the accelerated server segment. Canada followed closely with 69.8% growth, also powered by accelerated server innovations. Meanwhile, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) experienced a 37.6% year-over-year increase, contributing nearly one-fifth to the global quarterly revenue. Other regions, including APeJC, EMEA, and Japan, registered healthy double-digit growth of 37.4%, 31.0%, and 28.1% respectively, whereas Latin America saw a modest 4.1% increase.

Competitive Landscape Among OEMs

In terms of corporate performance, Dell Technologies emerged as the leader in the OEM market with an 8.3% revenue share, significantly propelled by accelerated server growth. Supermicro secured the second spot with a 4.0% revenue share, even though it faced a 13.2% decline compared to Q3 2024. IEIT Systems and Lenovo closely contended for third place with 3.7% and 3.6% shares respectively, while Hewlett Packard Enterprise captured a 3.0% share, rounding out the top five players.

Record-Breaking Performance In Tourism

Cyprus’ tourism sector achieved unprecedented success in 2025 with record-breaking arrivals and revenues. According to Eurobank analyst Konstantinos Vrachimis, the island’s performance was underpinned by solid real income growth and enhanced market diversification.

Robust Growth In Arrivals And Revenues

Total tourist arrivals reached 4.5 million in 2025, rising 12.2% from 4 million in 2024, with momentum sustained through the final quarter. Tourism receipts for the January–November period climbed to €3.6 billion, marking a 15.3% year-on-year increase that exceeded inflation. The improvement was not driven by volume alone. Average expenditure per visitor increased by 4.6%, while daily spending rose by 9.2%, indicating stronger purchasing power and higher-value tourism activity.

Economic Impact And Diversification Of Source Markets

The stronger performance translated into tangible gains for the broader services economy, lifting real tourism-related income and overall sector turnover. Demand patterns are also shifting. While the United Kingdom remains Cyprus’ largest source market, its relative share has moderated as arrivals from Israel, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Austria, and Poland have expanded. This gradual diversification reduces dependency on a single market and strengthens resilience against external shocks.

Enhanced Air Connectivity And Seasonal Dynamics

Air connectivity has improved markedly in 2025, with flight volumes expanding substantially compared to 2019. This expansion is driven by increased airline capacity, enhanced route coverage, and more frequent flights, supporting demand during shoulder seasons and reducing overreliance on peak-month flows. Seasonal patterns remain prominent, with arrivals building through the spring and peaking in summer, thereby bolstering employment, fiscal receipts, and corporate earnings across hospitality, transport, and retail sectors.

Structural Risks And Future Considerations

Despite strong headline figures, structural challenges remain. The European Commission’s EU Tourism Dashboard highlights tourism intensity, seasonality, and market concentration as key risk indicators. Cyprus records a high ratio of overnight stays relative to its resident population, signalling potential overtourism pressures. Continued reliance on a limited group of origin markets also exposes the sector to geopolitical uncertainty and sudden demand swings. Seasonal peaks place additional strain on infrastructure, housing availability, labour supply, and natural resources, particularly water.

Strategic Investment And Market Resilience

Vrachimis concludes that sustained growth will depend on targeted investment, product upgrading, and continued market diversification. Strengthening year-round offerings, improving infrastructure capacity, and promoting higher-value experiences can help balance demand while preserving long-term competitiveness. These measures are essential not only to manage overtourism risks but also to ensure tourism remains a stable pillar of Cyprus’ economic development.
