Data Center Automation Global Market Report 2024

The data center automation market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.08 billion in 2023 to $10.7 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.8%. The expansion observed during the historic period can be credited to the increasing adoption of digital transformation initiatives. Automation within data centers has facilitated cost reduction, scalability, and heightened efficiency, thereby supporting overall cost reduction efforts. Furthermore, the escalating internet penetration has led to a significant surge in data volumes generated per second, contributing to this growth trend.

The data center automation market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.11 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The projected growth in the upcoming period is driven by several factors, including the surge in data generation volume and velocity, the expansion of cloud computing and online applications, rising concerns regarding energy and cost efficiency, global digitization trends, and increased adoption of IoT devices, social media platforms, and smartphones. Key trends anticipated in this period encompass advancements in technology, the profound impact of digitization on data generation rates, widespread adoption of IoT technologies, the rapid emergence of 5G networks, and the continuous escalation of global data traffic.

The burgeoning volume and velocity of data generation are poised to be key drivers propelling the expansion of the data center automation market in the foreseeable future. Data generation, which encompasses the creation or generation of data through diverse sources and activities, is witnessing a surge owing to the widespread adoption of digital technologies. These technologies include smartphones, IoT devices, social media platforms, and online transactions, collectively contributing to the continuous generation of vast data volumes from myriad sources and interactions. Data center automation plays a crucial role in managing this escalating data volume efficiently by furnishing the requisite infrastructure and tools. For instance, findings from Sky's The Limit (STL) report in December 2022 highlighted that global data generated in 2021 amounted to an estimated 79 zettabytes. Projections indicate that by 2025, this figure is expected to double to around 150 zettabytes, underscoring the significant growth trajectory in data generation. Consequently, the surge in data volume and velocity is a primary catalyst driving the expansion of the data center automation market.

Leading entities within the data center automation market are channeling efforts towards developing innovative solutions aimed at mitigating operational costs. An exemplary product in this regard is Anymal, a quadrupedal robot engineered for versatile mobility and autonomous functionality in demanding environments, including industrial and construction sites, as well as outdoor terrain.
