The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing enterprise data generation, rising adoption of cloud services, expansion of colocation facilities, growing data traffic from digitalization, and higher digital banking adoption.

The datacenters market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $636.5 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of edge computing, rising adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, growing adoption of remote work, increasing focus on green data centers, and a surge in 5G network deployments. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in modular data center designs, innovations in liquid cooling solutions, research in energy-efficient server architectures, technological progress in workload automation, and developments in optical interconnect systems.

The growing demand for cloud services is expected to drive the growth of the data center market going forward. Cloud services provide on-demand computing resources, including storage, servers, databases, networking, and software, delivered over the internet to support digital business operations. Businesses are increasingly adopting cloud services to gain scalability and flexibility, adapt to changing workloads, and accelerate digital transformation. The rising demand for cloud services supports data centers by promoting the development and expansion of high-performance storage and processing facilities needed to host and manage cloud workloads efficiently. For instance, in April 2023, a report by Microsoft Corporation indicated that public cloud spending in Australia is projected to increase from $7.95 billion in 2022 (A$12.2 billion) to $14.56 billion by 2026 (A$22.4 billion). This growing demand is driving the expansion of the data center market.

Major companies in the data center market are adopting technological developments, such as data center building block solutions, to simplify deployment, reduce risk, and accelerate large-scale infrastructure projects. Data center building block solutions are modular, pre-engineered components that allow organizations to build, scale, or upgrade data centers quickly with consistent performance. In October 2025, Supermicro, a US-based IT solutions provider, launched its DCBBS line, offering pre-integrated servers, storage, management software, liquid cooling, networking, and electrical components. The solutions support modular packaging at system, rack, and full data center levels with rigorous L11/L12 testing. SuperCloud Composer software provides unified infrastructure management for compute, network, cooling, and power from a single portal.

In December 2024, Blackstone, a US-based provider of alternative asset management and investment services, acquired AirTrunk for $16.1 billion. The acquisition expands Blackstone’s digital infrastructure footprint and hyperscale data center capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region to meet growing cloud and AI demand and scale market share and operational capacity. AirTrunk is an Australia-based provider of hyperscale data centers, cloud infrastructure, and colocation design, build, and operations across Asia Pacific and Japan.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting operations. Higher costs for imported technology, office equipment, and essential digital infrastructure have raised operating expenses for service providers, forcing them to either pass on costs to clients or absorb margin pressures. Outsourcing firms and IT service companies are also facing challenges due to increased costs of hardware components and delayed global supply chains, affecting project delivery timelines and profitability. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have dampened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key international markets, leading to a slowdown in export-driven revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize digital transformation, cost optimization, and expanding domestic client bases to sustain growth and maintain competitiveness amid ongoing trade uncertainty.
