Global Data Center White Box Server Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Data Center White Box Server market size was valued at US$ 34670 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 66400 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 9.5% during review period.

A white box server refers to customized servers that are either home built, or built by white box suppliers called ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers) such as Supermicro. The term white box simply means that the equipment is unbranded or generic. All parts are purchased separately which helps cut costs as well as provides hobbyists and data center professionals alike more customization to better fit their needs. The ease of customization allows for individual parts to be replaced, rather than replacing the entire server when equipment fails. It is characterized by cheap price, unified purchase, high degree of customization, and at the same time, it can save unnecessary power and energy.

Global white box servers key players include Quanta, Wistron, Inventec, etc. Global top 5 manufacturers hold a share over 95%. North America is the largest market, with a share about 50%, followed by Asia-Pacific , have a share over 25 percent. In terms of product, rack-mount server is the largest segment, with a share about 75%. And in terms of application, the largest application is internet, followed by telecommunications.

Drivers:

1. Cost-effectiveness: White box servers typically offer higher cost-performance ratios compared to branded servers, as they eliminate premium branding and service fees. This attracts cost-sensitive enterprises and hyper-scale data center operators, particularly cloud service providers and large internet companies.

2. Flexibility and customization: Users can flexibly select components such as CPUs, memory, and hard drives based on specific needs, optimizing hardware configurations. This is especially important for businesses with particular performance requirements or those looking to optimize their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

3. Open-source hardware ecosystem: The rise of open-source hardware initiatives like the Open Compute Project (OCP) has promoted standardized and modular designs, reducing development and deployment costs for white box servers while enhancing interoperability and maintainability.

4. Growth in cloud computing and big data: The explosive growth of cloud services and big data applications necessitates scalable and high-performance server infrastructure in data centers. White box servers, with their cost efficiency and flexibility, have become the preferred choice.

Market Trends:

1. Software-defined infrastructure: As software-defined computing, storage, and networking become prevalent, server hardware is increasingly commoditized, with the software layer becoming the key differentiator. This pushes the white box server market towards greater openness and flexibility.

2. Rise of edge computing: The rapid development of edge computing, which requires deploying compute resources near data sources, presents new market opportunities for white box servers with their rapid deployment capabilities and high customization.

3. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: The escalating demand for computational power from AI and ML applications has led the white box server market to introduce server solutions optimized for these applications, meeting the needs for high compute density and performance.

Industry Constraints:

1. Technical support and after-sales service: Compared to branded servers, white box servers may be at a disadvantage in terms of technical support and after-sales maintenance, which could affect customers who prioritize service guarantees.

2. Standardization issues: While organizations like OCP promote standardization, compatibility issues among different white box servers can still arise in practical applications, affecting deployment efficiency and maintenance costs.

3. Security and quality concerns: Some enterprises are cautious about the security and quality control of non-branded servers, fearing potential data breaches and hardware failure rates, especially when handling sensitive information or running critical operations.

4. Supply chain management challenges: Direct procurement of components and assembly of servers increases the complexity of supply chain management, demanding higher procurement capabilities and supply chain agility from businesses.

In summary, the white box server market is rapidly evolving under the drive of cost-effectiveness and customization demands, adapting to trends such as software-defined infrastructure and edge computing. Nevertheless, it also needs to address challenges related to after-sales service, standardization, and security.
