The data center it asset disposition market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.65 billion in 2025 to $15.93 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing hardware refresh cycles, rising data security concerns, growth of enterprise data centers, early adoption of e-waste regulations, expansion of colocation facilities.
The data center it asset disposition market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.2 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to circular economy adoption, stricter data protection regulations, growth of cloud and hyperscale facilities, rising sustainability reporting requirements, increasing focus on asset value recovery. Major trends in the forecast period include secure data sanitization and destruction practices, lifecycle management of data center assets, growing demand for refurbishment and resale, compliance-driven it asset disposal processes, certified recycling and e-waste management.
The escalating prevalence of cyberattacks is set to drive the growth of the data center IT asset disposition market. Cyberattacks, characterized by deliberate and malicious attempts to breach the security measures of computer systems or digital devices, are on the rise due to technological advancements, system vulnerabilities, and insufficient cybersecurity awareness. Data center IT asset disposition plays a pivotal role in cybersecurity by preventing data breaches, mitigating insider threats, safeguarding against supply chain attacks, and ensuring regulatory compliance. By securely and compliantly disposing of end-of-life IT assets, this process protects sensitive data and mitigates risks associated with breaches, regulatory violations, and environmental hazards. For example, a blog reported by Check Point Software Technologies in April 2023 revealed a 7% increase in global weekly cyberattacks in Q1 2023 compared to the previous year, with organizations facing an average of 1,248 attacks per week. Consequently, the growing prevalence of cyberattacks acts as a catalyst for the expansion of the data center IT asset disposition market.
Leading companies in the data center IT asset disposition sector are focused on innovating solutions to optimize resource utilization and minimize environmental impact. One such innovation is the development of IT asset repurposing and disposal facilities, which involve securely retiring IT assets through decommissioning, destruction, and environmentally responsible recycling. TES, for instance, launched an IT asset repurposing and disposal facility in March 2024, dedicated to refurbishing and recycling technology assets and data center equipment. Equipped with advanced technical tools, the facility ensures secure data removal from technological devices while preventing rare metals from ending up in landfills. The objective is to safeguard organizational data, protect the environment, and potentially recover value from retired IT assets.
