Capex das Big Techs já é o dobro do que foi na bolha da internet
Num relatório colocando em perspectiva os números descomunais do capex em inteligência artificial, a Apollo Global Management mostra que o volume de investimentos estimados para este ano será próximo dos US$ 700 bilhões de crescimento no crédito na economia americana.
"Para efeito de comparação, os gastos dos EUA com defesa foram de US$ 917 bilhões em 2025," escreveu Torsten Slok, o economista-chefe da Apollo.
Em 2000, no auge da bolha de valorização das empresas 'ponto.com', o capex não chegou a 1% do PIB americano. Pelos anúncios recentes, o investimento na infraestrutura de AI ficará em torno de 2% do PIB dos EUA este ano e será um pouco maior em 2027.
Ainda segundo a Apollo, o capex das hyperscalers – os grandes serviços de nuvem usados para 'escalar' a capacidade computacional – será similar ao market cap das bolsas de países como Bélgica, Dinamarca e Indonésia.
Cinco empresas dominam os investimentos em data centers: Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), Alphabet (Google), Meta e Oracle.
De acordo com a Apollo, a participação dessas empresas no capex do setor privado dobrou desde 2023 e já chega a 6% do total.
O investimento na infraestrutura de AI feito neste ano por essas Big Techs será superior ao total de gastos militares combinados de Alemanha, França, Reino Unido, Japão, Itália e Canadá.
O capex total em AI deverá somar US$ 2,7 trilhões nos cinco anos que vão de 2025 a 2029.
