- North America led the data center market across the world, with a contribution of over 40% of the overall investment across the globe in 2020.
- Renewable energy solutions are increasingly being adopted across data centers, owing to increasing concerns over carbon emissions.
Key Offerings:
- Market Size & Forecast by Revenue | 2020−2026
- Market Dynamics – Leading trends, growth drivers, restraints, and investment opportunities
- Market Segmentation – A detailed analysis by infrastructure, IT infrastructure, electrical infrastructure, mechanical infrastructure, cooling technique, general construction, tier standards, and geography
- Competitive Landscape – 6 IT infrastructure service provider, 8 support infrastructure service providers, 7 data center contractors, 10 data center investors and 76 other prominent vendors
Data Center Market – Segmentation
- The IT infrastructure market is growing due to the increasing investment in data centers and hyperscale facilities. A majority of revenue is expected to be generated by server systems, followed by storage and network infrastructure during the forecast period. The introduction of artificial intelligence-based infrastructure solutions is influencing the overall market growth.
- The adoption of cloud-based services and the development of hyperscale facilities are expected to be strong drivers for the global IT infrastructure market. North America is likely to witness an increase in the enterprise adoption of colocation spaces for operations, which, in turn, will increase the revenue for high-performance infrastructure.
- Several data center facilities in North America have witnessed the implementation of 2N redundant UPS systems. Hyperscale operators are deploying end-of-rack UPS solutions supporting up to six racks. The increasing procurement of renewable energy will reduce the procurement of generator systems in the region.

Data Center Market – Dynamics
The majority of data centers are mostly restricted to urban locations and prominent sites such as Texas, New York, Virginia, London, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Paris, Dubai, Mumbai, Osaka, Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland. In recent years, these locations have attracted considerable investments, and more data centers are planned for 2020 and 2021. Because of the increasing usage of connected devices across businesses and consumers, the concept of edge computing is gaining traction in the market. This has led to huge demand for high bandwidth internet in many rural areas, thereby driving the need for data centers to process information on par with major cities. Edge data centers will create a decentralized model of data centers, where multiple edge data centers will be connected to a centralized hyperscale facility.
Key Drivers and Trends fueling Market Growth:
- Growing Procurement of Renewable Energy
- Rise of QLC NAND Flash Drives
- COVID-19 Boosts the Data Centers Investments
- Rising Colocation Investment
