Increasing Hyperscale Demand, Emerging Secondary Markets, and Technology Evolution Drive Future Growth Potential
Global data center investment will continue on a high growth trajectory due to high demand from hyperscale cloud and a high degree of data center activity in emerging economies. The burgeoning AI industry will further accelerate data center investments. A diverse range of industry players, from major hyperscale corporations to prominent colocation operators, small and medium-sized colocation providers, and emerging enterprise data centers, are all concentrating their efforts on AI and its implications on design and infrastructure.
As higher computing densities require more efficient cooling such as direct-to-chip, liquid immersion, and rear door heat exchangers, data center operators are now implementing a strategic approach to construct larger, high-density data center facilities that can accommodate bigger workloads.
This study analyzes investment trends in the global data center industry, providing market forecasts for 3 data center types: colocation, hyperscale, and enterprise. The forecast period is 2024-2033, and the base year is 2023.
