Global Data Center Construction Market Size, Share, Trends & Growth Forecast Report By Infrastructure (IT Infrastructure, Power Distribution & Cooling Infrastructure, Miscellaneous Infrastructure), Tier Type (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4), Data Center Type (Cloud Data Centers, Colocation Data Centers, Enterprise Data Centers, Modular Data Centers, Edge Data Centers), Data Center Size (Small, Mid-Sized, Large), Organization Size (SMEs, Large Enterprises), Industry Vertical, and Region – Industry Analysis, 2024 to 2033
The global data center construction market was worth USD 31.23 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 67.83 billion by 2033, registering a growth rate of 9% from 2024 to 2033.
A data center is a facility a business uses to host computer systems, servers, network systems, and other related components to meet the business infrastructure needs. This involves storing, processing, and processing large amounts of crucial data, ranging from small servers to large-scale robust industrial equipment and dedicated client architecture. Building the data center is a critical task that requires meticulous planning in terms of location, storage, and hardware that will be used to maintain and control the environment within the data center. Location is an important factor to consider when planning the construction of a data center, as it is crucial to keep the environment cool. Data center computers, such as the server and the storage, operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and generate a large amount of heat, which could lead to equipment failure, thereby affecting the efficiency of the service provider.
The market is being propelled by a surging demand for cloud applications, with the use of cloud storage driving this trend. It is estimated that a staggering 80% of all business workloads will transition to the cloud. This shift is further evidenced by the rapid increase in the number of files stored in the cloud, including a significant percentage of confidential data.
In addition, adopting a data center defined by health software stimulates the market. Medical expenses are increasing yearly, and the cost of optimization from the client's point of view is also at the center of concern. According to the Institute for Health Measurement and Assessment, by 2040, health spending is expected to reach about $ 18.28 trillion, while high-income countries will spend about $ 9,019 per person in 2040.
Several cloud-based companies, such as Google and Facebook, are focusing on investing in supercomputers that meet their hyperscale needs. For example, in mid-2020, Facebook plans to build its fifth hyperscale facility, an H-shaped building with an area of 2.5 million square feet. Additionally, in February 2019, CtrlS, India's largest data center player, announced its INR 2000 investment in establishing hyperscale infrastructure, which would be the world's largest Tier 4 hyperscale data center.
In addition, the sale of data center equipment designed to the specifications of the Open Compute Project is booming. The advanced cooling solution in next-generation data centers without additional modification promotes this market boom.
For example, in May 2020, Wiwynn announced the introduction of its advanced standalone liquid rack cooling solution with the next-generation Open Compute Project (OCP) server to meet the growing demand for high power consumption and computing density for the cloud.
As a result, data centers aim to be green, resulting in increased use of electricity from solar and wind power for data centers. Evaporative cooling, the use of low-emission building materials, and the reuse of waste are among the strategies used on green server farms. Plus, green server farms help run IT operations, power, and cooling bases efficiently. Additionally, to manage an increasing amount of data, companies are forced to operate numerous data centers, which are typically located in remote locations. This is another factor that is stimulating the market to build data centers.
On the other hand, the lack of resources and the popularity of containerized data centers are serious limitations in this business. Containerized data centers provide infrastructure support to organizations with a limited budget to build a data center, ultimately reducing demand for traditional data centers.
