    Hyperscaler 2026 capex approaches $800B as Nvidia projects $3-4T data center market by 2030

    Question

    Hyperscaler 2026 capex approaches $800B as Nvidia projects $3-4T data center market by 2030

    Direct answer

    Capital expenditure projections across the five largest AI hyperscalers indicate aggregate spend of nearly $800 billion for full-year 2026, driven by continuous server cluster and networking deployments. Nvidia leadership reaffirmed forecasts that global data center capex will expand to between $3 trillion and $4 trillion annually by 2030, reinforcing structural demand across computing and data infrastructure.
