The data center market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $299.63 billion in 2025 to $324.25 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in enterprise digital transformation, expansion of cloud computing adoption, increasing data storage requirements, growth of internet and mobile usage, rising enterprise IT modernization.
The data center market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $460.61 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing AI workload deployment, expansion of edge computing use cases, growing demand for sustainable data centers, rising investments in digital infrastructure, increasing regulatory focus on data sovereignty. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of hyperscale data center facilities, rising deployment of edge data centers, growing adoption of modular data center designs, increased focus on energy-efficient infrastructure, enhanced integration of ai-driven data center management.
The increasing prevalence of IoT-linked devices is expected to contribute to the growth of the data center market. IoT-linked devices, which are nonstandard computing devices connecting wirelessly to networks, generate substantial amounts of data. This growth in IoT devices necessitates sophisticated data center solutions capable of addressing the unique challenges posed by massive data, real-time processing needs, and requirements for scalability and security in the evolving IoT landscape. According to a November 2022 report from Ericsson, broadband IoT (4G/5G) connections, linking the majority of cellular IoT devices, reached 1.3 billion in 2022. The proliferation of IoT-linked devices, with an anticipated 60% of cellular IoT connections being broadband IoT by the end of 2028, is driving the demand for advanced data center solutions. The increasing number of IoT-linked devices is a significant factor fueling the growth of the data center market.
Major companies operating in the data centre market are focusing on developing modular, liquid-cooled pre-fabricated data-centre units to meet the rising demand for rapid deployment, high-density compute, energy efficiency, and edge-infrastructure expansion. A modular, liquid-cooled pre-fabricated data-centre unit is a factory-assembled building block that integrates power, cooling, racks, and monitoring systems, delivered as a complete module rather than constructed on-site from scratch. For instance, in November 2023, Vertiv Group Corp., a US-based provider of critical digital infrastructure, launched its SmartMod Max CW modular data-centre unit. This solution supports up to 200 kW of IT load in a single unit and uses chilled-water cooling to enhance energy efficiency. It is fully factory-assembled and tested to minimize on-site build time and cost and offers customizable power and cooling configurations, enabling rapid deployment across edge locations and mid-sized enterprise environments.
In February 2024, Marubeni Corporation, a Japan-based provider of trading, infrastructure, and renewable-energy solutions, partnered with Yondr Group to develop hyperscale data centres in the West Tokyo region. Through this partnership, Marubeni aimed to leverage its renewable-energy network and local market expertise to accelerate large-scale hyperscale data-centre rollout and support its strategic expansion into digital infrastructure. Yondr Group is a UK-based developer, owner, and operator of hyperscale data centres.

Data centers represent physical facilities comprising networked computers, storage systems, servers, computational infrastructure, and application-delivery controllers. They are essential for businesses to conduct operations and store organizational data assets.
The primary types of data centers include colocation, hyperscale, edge, and other variations. Colocation involves a rental service catering to enterprise customers, allowing them to lease space for storing servers and other hardware crucial for daily business operations. The key components encompass solutions and services. Enterprise sizes utilizing data centers range from large enterprises to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). End users span various sectors such as BFSI, IT & telecom, government, energy & utilities, and other industries.
The data center market consists of sales of IT infrastructure, electrical infrastructure, mechanical infrastructure, general construction, and other services that are used to store, process, and disseminate data and applications. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
