IT Infrastructure Insights

The server segment dominated the market for data center construction and accounted for the largest revenue share of 50.7% in 2022. The segment is expected to register a healthy growth rate of 7.4% over the forecast period. The growing preference for adopting emerging technologies, such asartificial intelligence(AI) andedge computing, which is driving the demand for high-computing servers, is expected to pave the way for the growth of the segment. Besides, the hyperscale data center providers look to leverage government initiatives worldwide, such as AI for Earth campaign, which is expected to favor servers’ market growth over the forecast period.

IT infrastructure accounts for more than 80% of the overall industry revenue. The industry is heavily influenced by the rise and fall in demand for server, storage, and networking equipment to cater to computing needs across different verticals. The IT equipment demand was driven by the growing need for high computing capacity and memory storage to enable big data analytics and AI-driven applications.

Power Distribution & Cooling Infrastructure Insights

The cooling segment dominated the market for data center construction and accounted for the largest revenue share of 64.5% in 2022. The high market share can be attributed to the need for efficient cooling equipment to maintain optimum temperature and humidity levels across the data centers. IT infrastructure in data centers generates enormous amounts of heat as data centers are operational 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.

This necessitates maintaining an optimum environment to ensure the efficient functioning of the IT equipment. Hence, cooling systems are installed in data centers to manage the excessive heat generated by the processors, servers, and other IT equipment. Cooling systems also maintain appropriate humidity levels and protect the IT and electronic components from corrosion. An ideal working environment ensures the efficient working of data centers and mitigates the risks of potential downtime and data loss.

Miscellaneous Expenses Insights

The miscellaneous expenses segment is expected to witness a CAGR of 4.5% over the forecast period. Miscellaneous expenses account for the security infrastructure costs, property costs, and building and shell construction costs, among other costs. The security costs include physical security and digital security of the data center. The growing instances of cybercrime and data breaches are prompting service providers to invest aggressively in highly sophisticated security solutions.

There are several fixed costs included in miscellaneous expenses, which appreciate minimally over time, which is the reason behind the relatively slower growth of the segment. The property costs include land costs, property purchase costs, consultancy fees, and brokerage fees. These costs rely on macroeconomic factors that can change according to the market situation. The property costs are anticipated to exhibit a CAGR of between 0.1% - 2%, which is therefore expected to culminate into a slower growth rate for the segment over the forecast period.

Tier Type Insights

The tier 3 segment dominated the market for data center construction and accounted for the largest revenue share of 51.3% in 2022. The high market share can be attributed to the increased redundancy across data centers. The rising need for high-performance computing and increased storage capacity is another factor why the tier 3 segment has dominated the market for data center construction. Tier 3 standard is popular among media providers, such as Netflix and Facebook, as well as for the incumbents of the financial and service industries.

Moreover, the design of tier 3 facilities offers a power backup and improvements in cooling efficiency by optimizing airflow through the architecture. It also facilitates a balanced workload across servers by continuously monitoring and distributing high-intensity workloads uniformly. These factors have encouraged colocation service providers, telecommunications service providers, social networking giants, and e-commerce companies to invest in the construction of tier 3 facilities.

End-use Insights

The IT and telecom segment dominated the market for data center construction and accounted for the highest share of 40.4% in 2022 as a result of the proliferation of smartphones and the rise in the number of active internet users globally. The continued rollout of 5G networks also allowed the segment to dominate the market in 2022 and the trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. The continued adoption ofnetwork function virtualization(NFV) and software-defined networks (SDN) as applications to support OTT Platforms, M2M communication, andonline gamingis also expected to fuel the growth of the segment and subsequently drive the investments in this space over the forecast period.

The adoption of cloud computing,internet of things(IoT), AI, and intelligent computing across several industries and industry verticals is gaining traction. Developing nations have been investing in data center facilities as part of the efforts to digitize the economy. These facilities have particularly witnessed high deployment across industries, such as BFSI, manufacturing, healthcare, and energy, among others. For instance, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.’s SDN-based data center has been adopted by The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to help share multiple services on a single set of network hardware and facilitate maximum resource utilization to launch its services faster.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market for data center construction and accounted for the largest revenue share of over 40.0% in 2022, followed by Asia Pacific. The high revenue share of North America can be attributed to aggressive investments in hyperscale projects. The U.S. happens to be a developed economy and already exhibits an established, sophisticated network infrastructure. Additionally, it is home to major cloud service providers, such as Amazon.com, Inc.; Google; and Facebook. Such companies are investing in the construction of mega facilities for additional processing capabilities and data storage. Hence, this opens new growth opportunities for the data center construction market.

在亚太地区,市场数据中心若干uction is expected to register the fastest growth over the forecast period, with China and India contributing significantly to the regional data center construction market. The growth can be attributed to continuous investments by cloud service providers and hyperscale’s.
