COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market for data center building. However, the COVID-19 outbreak came when demand for data center capacity was rising quickly, which stopped the development of new facilities. In addition, the market had a specific effect, such as increased data network traffic due to more people using programs like Microsoft Office and Zoom. A data center's construction was further complicated by the pandemic's supply chain interruption, which hindered the market's expansion. The need for data capacity has almost tripled since the pandemic, and many businesses are moving toward hybrid cloud infrastructure. As a result, the market has witnessed a rise in data center construction.Market Growth Factors
Increasing number of connected IoT devices
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a setting in which various electronic gadgets, including computers, electric meters, televisions, air conditioners, and mobile phones, are connected to computers and networks. Due to minimal human involvement, gadgets can nowconsume,exchange,and generate data. One element anticipated to propel the data center construction market is IoT device creation and rising use. Data centers have emerged to meet the need to store this data due to the substantial information exchange amongdevices. Many billions of connected IoT devices contribute to the production of more data and are anticipated to increase the demand for data center construction. Therefore, in the coming years, the expansion of the IoT industry will directly influence the expansion of the data center construction market.Increasing number of data center expansion projects
The number of data centers being created worldwide has significantly increased due to large investments being made in new expansion andconstruction by top data center service providers. Real estate, as well as investment firms, are encouraged to purchase data centers by the developed nations'data center industry. Such purchases typically result in expansion plans, which strengthen market growth. With unanticipated demand from both existing as well as new clients in data centers, the majority of expenditures will be concentrated on the expansion of theedge data center sector. Hence, the increasing number of data center projects worldwide and the improved battery technology are propelling the market's growth.Market Restraining Factors
Limitations of data center services and providers
The effects on the environment are extensive, affecting biodiversity, climate change, pollution, and natural resources. Despite the complexity of the problems, there are several chances for growth and long-lasting beneficial effects. Small and medium-sized businesses might not establish a new data center because of the high expense of building one. The vendor's attention is directed at areas with lower construction prices. Therefore, these limitations may restrict the growth of the data center construction market in the coming years.Type Outlook
On the basis of type, the data center construction market is divided into IT infrastructure, electrical infrastructure, and miscellaneous expenses & others. The miscellaneous expenses and others segment witnessed a substantial revenue share in the data center construction market in 2021.
