The build‑to‑suit data center market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $21.37 billion in 2025 to $23.67 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to cloud service expansion, early colocation demand, enterprise digital transformation, data sovereignty requirements, hyperscale investments.
The build‑to‑suit data center market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $35.94 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to AI workload growth, edge data center expansion, sustainability-driven design adoption, customized cloud infrastructure demand, regional data localization. Major trends in the forecast period include customized hyperscale facilities, energy-efficient data center design, tenant-specific infrastructure planning, high-density computing environments, secure and compliant data facilities.
The increasing adoption of cloud computing is expected to propel the growth of the build-to-suit data center market going forward. Cloud computing adoption refers to the extent to which organizations and individuals utilize cloud-based services and infrastructure to store data, run applications, and access computing resources via the internet. Cloud computing usage is rising as organizations seek scalable and cost-effective IT infrastructure solutions without significant upfront capital investments. Build-to-suit data centers support cloud computing by delivering customized, scalable infrastructure designed to meet the specific performance, security, and energy efficiency needs of cloud service providers. For instance, in December 2023, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government administration, cloud-edge adoption in Europe is projected to reach 75% by 2030, up from 45.2% of businesses using cloud services in 2023. Therefore, the increasing adoption of cloud computing is contributing the growth of the build-to-suit data center market.
Leading companies operating in the build-to-suit data center market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as hyperscale turnkey data center platforms with multi-gigawatt capacity pipelines, to address unprecedented demand from hyperscale cloud, AI, and enterprise customers requiring scalable, high-density, and customizable infrastructure solutions. A hyperscale turnkey data center platform is a purpose-built, modular data center solution designed to deliver extremely high power capacity (multi-GW), support emerging workloads such as AI, and enable rapid deployment through tailored build-to-suit services that meet specific customer requirements. For example, in January 2026, LightHouse Data Centers, a US-based developer and operator of hyperscale data centers, in partnership with Wharton Digital, a US-based investment platform, launched a new platform aimed at developing, owning, and operating more than 2 GW of data center capacity across North America, with near-term delivery of 300 MW and additional campuses planned for 2026-2027. The platform combines modular design frameworks with next-generation infrastructure optimized for high-density workloads, including liquid-cooled architectures, while maintaining resilience, efficiency, and mission-critical performance. Its offering includes customized build-to-suit services, strong OEM partnerships, and rapid deployment capabilities to serve cloud, AI, and hyperscale customers amid industry-wide supply constraints.
