Global Data Center Colocation Market Outlook Report 2024 - Market to Grow at 7.25% CAGR Between 2022 and 2028, Driven by Cloud Technology and Global Digitalization Efforts

Dublin, March 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Worldwide Data Center Colocation Market - Investment Prospects in 9 Regions and 51 Countries" report has been added to * ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.

The worldwide data center colocation market by investment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.25% from 2022-2028, from USD 30.42 Billion in 2022 to reach USD 46.3 Billion in 2028

Cloud and technology companies continued to dominate the global demand for data center capacity uptake - digitalization initiatives by public and private sector organizations and data localization laws further fuel colocation across Industry verticals.

Major data center hubs, namely North Virginia, Texas, California, Beijing, Shanghai, London, Frankfurt, Brazil, Paris, and Mumbai, continue witnessing sizable investments, cementing their dominance.

Power availability and supply chain constraints still daunt the data center market, causing the construction timelines to grow from an average of 18 months to around 30 months. Construction costs have also increased to around 20%-30% across key locations worldwide, increasing colocation rental pricing.

*KEY TRENDS*

· Initiatives for sustainable operations involve transitioning to renewable energy sources. For example, major data center operators like Equinix and Vantage Data Centers actively invest in green bonds, tax credits, and partnerships with energy providers to support the shift to renewable energy.
· The increase in rack power density prompts the adoption of innovative designs. For instance, large data centers implement liquid and precision air cooling to handle densities up to 50 kW efficiently. Data center operators are actively involved in this transition to support AI/ML workloads using liquid cooling.
· The trend of connected devices exemplifies the adoption of IoT and big data technologies. Major players like Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Oracle are actively adopting ARM-based technology for efficient data processing. Additionally, companies like Meta are heavily investing in AR/VR technologies for the emerging Metaverse.
· The Canadian government's tax credits for renewable energy projects, Europe's Climate Neutral Data Center Pact, and initiatives in regions like Latin America and APAC showcase the impact of government regulations on data center practices. Operators in the data center colocation market, like Equinix and Digital Realty, have ambitious plans for carbon neutrality. These operators are actively working towards significant reductions in carbon emissions by 2030 or 2040, aligning with global sustainability goals.
· The Uptime Institute forecasts demand for approximately 326,700 full-time employees in data centers worldwide by 2025, highlighting the need for skilled professionals. Collaborations between industry and educational institutions, such as training programs, are essential. Collaboration with educational institutions addresses the shortage of skilled personnel in data centers.
· The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic have led to supply chain disruptions impacting data center construction. To address this, operators are adopting measures like increasing the number of suppliers and using prefabrication to mitigate lead times. Government initiatives also play a role in boosting local supply.
