Addressable Market Calculation

Whitespace 1: GPU-as-a-Service “Burst Banks”

Key Assumptions and Rationale The potential addressable market for local, BRL-billed GPU-as-a-Service ("Burst Banks") is primarily driven by the unmet demand for high-performance computing resources needed for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) workloads in Brazil. This whitespace addresses a supply shortage from major hyperscalers, offering a local alternative with potential advantages like BRL billing and immediate availability. The calculation focuses on the potential revenue opportunity from deploying and utilizing additional high-end GPU capacity that the market can absorb, based on demand signals and current supply limitations.

  1. Potential Additional High-End GPU Capacity (Units): This assumes the Brazilian market's unmet demand and future growth in AI workloads can support the deployment of a significant number of high-end GPUs beyond the current limited local supply. The scale is estimated based on the general investment levels seen in the Brazilian cloud market.
  2. Average Annual Revenue per High-End GPU (USD): This assumes that high-end GPUs, used for demanding AI tasks, can generate substantial annual revenue for the provider, reflecting their high cost, performance, and the premium potentially commanded due to scarcity. This revenue per unit accounts for utilization rates and pricing models.
  3. Average R$/USD Exchange Rate: As revenue is calculated in USD per GPU and the target market is in Brazil (R$), an exchange rate is needed for conversion. This rate fluctuates, so a range is used.

Researched Numbers with Rationale and Sources * Unmet Demand Signal: AI workloads in Brazil are growing rapidly (up 230% YoY), with the government pledging significant investment in AI R&D (R$ 23 billion). Hyperscaler GPU wait-lists exceed 6 weeks, and existing local GPU cloud providers have limited capacity (≤2,000 GPUs). This indicates strong demand exceeding current supply. * Potential Additional High-End GPU Capacity (Estimated): Based on the significant demand and limited current local supply relative to global hyperscaler scale and investment plans in Brazil (e.g., AWS planning $1.8 billion investment, some tied to AI), we estimate the market could absorb an additional 2,000 to 10,000 high-end GPUs through specialized local providers in the near term. (Estimate based on market context, not explicitly stated). * Average Annual Revenue per High-End GPU (Estimated USD): High-end GPUs are valuable resources. Assuming high utilization driven by demand, we estimate an average annual revenue of US$ 20,000 to US$ 50,000 per GPU per year. (Estimate). * Average R$/USD Exchange Rate (Estimated): Based on recent market conditions, we estimate an exchange rate range of R$ 5.0 to R$ 5.5 per US$. (Estimate).

Calculated Potential Addressable Market Using the formula: TAM (R$) = (Potential Additional GPUs) * (Avg Annual Revenue per GPU in USD) * (Avg R$/USD Exchange Rate)

  • Low End: 2,000 GPUs * US$ 20,000/GPU/year * R$ 5.0/US$ = R$ 200,000,000 / year
  • High End: 10,000 GPUs * US$ 50,000/GPU/year * R$ 5.5/US$ = R$ 2,750,000,000 / year

The potential addressable market for GPU-as-a-Service "Burst Banks" in Brazil is estimated to be in the range of R$ 200 million to R$ 2.75 billion per year.

The calculation estimates the potential revenue from providing localized infrastructure and related services across a network of these micro-edge sites.

  1. Number of Potential Micro-Edge Sites: This assumes that the geographic scale of underserved regions and the distribution of relevant economic activities (Agritech, growing digital usage) justify deploying a number of localized data center facilities.
  2. Average Annual Revenue per Micro-Edge Site (USD): This assumes each micro-edge site, despite its smaller size, can generate significant annual revenue by providing colocation, connectivity, and potentially basic managed services tailored for edge workloads.
  3. Average R$/USD Exchange Rate: Needed for converting USD revenue to BRL.

Researched Numbers with Rationale and Sources * Need for Low Latency: Gaming, fintech, and agro-IoT applications require sub-50 ms latency. Regions like the North experience >80 ms RTT to São Paulo. * Geographic Gap: Edge Points of Presence (PoPs) exist in some non-Southeast locations (Porto Alegre, Recife) but are absent in large regions like Manaus and Cuiabá,. * Related Market Size (Partial Anchor): The Agritech market alone is R$ 25 billion, indicating significant economic activity in regions likely to benefit from edge computing. 5G coverage is expanding (79% of municipalities) which supports edge use cases. * Number of Potential Micro-Edge Sites (Estimated): Given the vast geographic area of North and Centre-West Brazil and the need for distributed low-latency points, we estimate that deploying 10 to 50 micro-edge sites (potentially 50kW to 500kW each, as suggested in potential solutions) across key locations in these regions is a plausible market opportunity. (Estimate). * Average Annual Revenue per Micro-Edge Site (Estimated USD): Assuming each site can attract tenants needing low latency and potentially consume related services (colocation, connectivity, basic managed services), we estimate an average annual revenue of US$ 500,000 to US$ 2,000,000 per site per year. (Estimate). * Average R$/USD Exchange Rate (Estimated): Using the estimated range of R$ 5.0 to R$ 5.5 per US$. (Estimate).

Calculated Potential Addressable Market Using the formula: TAM (R$) = (Number of Potential Micro-Edge Sites) * (Avg Annual Revenue per Micro-Edge Site in USD) * (Avg R$/USD Exchange Rate)

  • Low End: 10 sites * US$ 500,000/site/year * R$ 5.0/US$ = R$ 25,000,000 / year
  • High End: 50 sites * US$ 2,000,000/site/year * R$ 5.5/US$ = R$ 550,000,000 / year
