Sustainable Data Center Market Global Report 2026

The sustainable data center market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $77.3 billion in 2025 to $92.27 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing energy consumption from data center operations, growing adoption of energy-efficient cooling systems, rising demand for renewable energy integration, increasing focus on reducing data center carbon emissions, growing implementation of data center energy management systems.

The sustainable data center market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $184.68 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of liquid cooling technologies, growing adoption of onsite renewable energy generation, rising demand for zero-carbon data center operations, increasing use of energy storage for data center power resilience, and expanding adoption of circular approaches for data center hardware and resource management. Major trends in the forecast period include energy-efficient data center infrastructure, renewable energy-powered data centers, advanced data center cooling technologies, optimization of data center water usage, and carbon-neutral data center operations.

The rising electricity costs are expected to propel the growth of the sustainable data center market in the coming years. Electricity costs refer to the expenses incurred by organizations for purchasing electrical power to operate information technology equipment, cooling systems, power infrastructure, and other facility operations. Electricity costs are increasing due to rising fuel prices, which make electricity generation more expensive as power plants spend more on coal, natural gas, and other energy sources. Electricity costs influence sustainable data centers by driving investments in energy-efficient infrastructure, renewable energy integration, and optimized power management strategies that reduce operational expenses while minimizing environmental impact. For instance, in October 2023, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, household electricity prices in the EU continued to increase during the first half of 2023 compared with the same period in 2022, rising from USD 27.4 (€25.3) per 100 kWh to USD 31.3 (€28.9) per 100 kWh. Therefore, the rising electricity costs are driving the growth of the sustainable data center market.

Major companies operating in the sustainable data center market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software platforms to improve energy efficiency, sustainability, operational resilience, and real-time monitoring of IT infrastructure. DCIM software platforms are advanced management solutions that combine monitoring, automation, analytics, and resource optimization capabilities to track and manage data center power consumption, cooling systems, equipment performance, and carbon emissions, enabling more efficient operations than traditional data center management approaches. For instance, in August 2023, Schneider Electric SE, a France-based energy management and automation company, launched EcoStruxure IT DCIM 3.0, an upgraded data center infrastructure management software portfolio designed to support hybrid and distributed IT environments. The platform enables organizations to monitor, manage, plan, and model physical IT infrastructure across centralized data centers, edge deployments, and cloud-connected environments. It provides advanced capabilities for improving energy efficiency, measuring carbon footprints, strengthening cybersecurity, and maintaining infrastructure resilience through flexible cloud-based and on-premise deployment options. The solution supports sustainability objectives by helping enterprises optimize energy consumption and manage environmental impact across thousands of connected sites.

In May 2023, Aligned Data Centers LLC, a US-based data center infrastructure company, acquired ODATA S.A. for an undisclosed amount.
