The Russian cloud AI services market reached 65.5 ₽ billion in 2025, according to a study by Selectel and Apple Hills Digital. Internal consumption within provider ecosystems accounted for 40.8 ₽ billion, while market consumption reached 24.7 ₽ billion.
Infrastructure consumption for GPU-based public clouds hit 8.2 ₽ billion, marking a 68.7% increase compared to 2024. Within this segment, virtual machines accounted for 4.3 ₽ billion, and dedicated servers totaled 3.9 ₽ billion.
The AI/ML platform market in the public cloud grew to 9.4 ₽ billion, a 97% increase over 2024. Between 2022 and 2025, the average annual growth rate for GPU server consumption was 48.4%, while AI/ML platforms grew by 41.9% annually.
Analysts project two scenarios for 2030. Under the 'trend continuation' model, the GPU server market could reach 36.5 ₽ billion, while the 'slowdown' scenario estimates 21.2 ₽ billion. AI/ML platforms are projected to reach between 25.9 ₽ billion and 40.7 ₽ billion.
Selectel reported a 2.6-fold increase in GPU server consumption during the first nine months of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Currently, 46% of surveyed companies are either using AI in the cloud, piloting projects, or planning to start within the year.
