Japan Data Center Market Trends
Tier 3 is the largest Tier Type
- Tier 3 data centers are mostly preferred by SMBs (small and medium businesses) for their far superior redundancy protection offerings. There is a significant jump in uptime from tier 2, with tier 3 offering annual uptime of 99.982%. The segment is expected to grow from 1,309.25 MW in 2022 to 1,905.47 MW by 2029, registering a CAGR of 5.51%. These data centers are mainly opted for by large companies.
- Tier 4 facilities are the next most preferred data centers by large businesses due to their performance, lower downtime, and 99.99% uptime. However, the majority of facilities still prefer tier 3 data centers due to their long-term financial and operational sustainability. Tier 3 is the most widely adopted standard across the industry. However, the growth rate for tier 4 facilities is expected to be the largest.
- Tier 1 & 2 data centers are the least preferred due to their higher downtime durations and low redundancies, but start-up companies usually prefer these data centers. However, in Japan, start-up companies also prefer tier 3 data center facilities. Currently, in Japan, there are no facilities certified with Tier 1 and Tier 2, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period.
