KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Digitalization across businesses will contribute to a surge in data center investments by colocation, cloud, Internet, and telecommunication providers. Telecom companies, such as AT&T, T-Mobile, CenturyLink, and Qualcomm, are responsible for deploying 5G services and the gradual pathway being made for the 6G spectrum in the US.
- Supply chain hurdles, rising inflation rates, the deficit in skilled workforce, and power-related restraints will harm the U.S. data center colocation market.
- The Texas data center market is highly competitive, with several colocation operators entering the state and developing their data center facilities.
- The United States market is among the costliest for developing a data center facility. The average cost ranges between $10-$11 million per MW. The cost is likely to increase by 5-7% on a YoY trend basis.
- The core submarkets have land and power constraints that limit the opportunities for new companies to enter the market. However, several new submarkets, such as Aurora and Elk Grove Village, are preferred.
