GPU Pricing by Region
How cloud GPU pricing varies across 7 global regions. Blended pricing across spot, on-demand, and reserved instances. Updated daily.
Regions
North America is the largest and most liquid cloud GPU market, with the deepest availability across all accelerator types. The US hosts the majority of global AI compute capacity.
Europe is the second-largest cloud GPU market with strong infrastructure across Western and Northern Europe. Data sovereignty requirements drive significant regional demand.
Asia Pacific is a rapidly growing GPU market spanning East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. Pricing varies significantly across sub-regions.
The Middle East is an emerging GPU market with growing investment in AI infrastructure, particularly in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
Oceania's GPU market is centred on Australia, with Sydney and Melbourne serving as the primary cloud regions for the continent.
South America's GPU market is centred on Brazil, with São Paulo serving as the primary cloud region for the continent.
Africa's GPU market is emerging, with South Africa as the primary cloud region for the continent.

Understanding Regional GPU Pricing
Cloud GPU pricing varies significantly by region, driven by factors including data centre density, energy costs, provider competition, and local demand. North America typically offers the lowest prices due to the highest concentration of cloud infrastructure and the most intense provider competition.
European and Asia Pacific regions carry moderate premiums (10-25% above North America), while emerging markets like the Middle East, South America, and Africa see higher premiums reflecting newer infrastructure and limited supply. However, for many workloads, the latency benefits of deploying locally outweigh the cost difference.
Data sovereignty requirements are increasingly shaping regional GPU demand. Regulations like GDPR (Europe), LGPD (Brazil), and various national data localisation laws mandate that certain workloads run within specific geographic boundaries, creating sustained regional demand regardless of global price differences.
