The worldwide data center colocation market by investment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.25% from 2022-2028, from USD 30.42 Billion in 2022 to reach USD 46.3 Billion in 2028.

Cloud and technology companies continued to dominate the global demand for data center capacity uptake - digitalization initiatives by public and private sector organizations and data localization laws further fuel colocation across Industry verticals.

Major data center hubs, namely North Virginia, Texas, California, Beijing, Shanghai, London, Frankfurt, Brazil, Paris, and Mumbai, continue witnessing sizable investments, cementing their dominance.

Power availability and supply chain constraints still daunt the data center market, causing the construction timelines to grow from an average of 18 months to around 30 months. Construction costs have also increased to around 20%-30% across key locations worldwide, increasing colocation rental pricing.

KEY TRENDS

    --  Initiatives for sustainable operations involve transitioning to
        renewable energy sources. For example, major data center operators like
        Equinix and Vantage Data Centers actively invest in green bonds, tax
        credits, and partnerships with energy providers to support the shift to
        renewable energy.
    --  The increase in rack power density prompts the adoption of innovative
        designs. For instance, large data centers implement liquid and precision
        air cooling to handle densities up to 50 kW efficiently. Data center
        operators are actively involved in this transition to support AI/ML
        workloads using liquid cooling.
    --  The trend of connected devices exemplifies the adoption of IoT and big
        data technologies. Major players like Microsoft, Amazon Web Services,
        and Oracle are actively adopting ARM-based technology for efficient data
        processing. Additionally, companies like Meta are heavily investing in
        AR/VR technologies for the emerging Metaverse.
    --  The Canadian government's tax credits for renewable energy projects,
        Europe's Climate Neutral Data Center Pact, and initiatives in regions
        like Latin America and APAC showcase the impact of government
        regulations on data center practices. Operators in the data center
        colocation market, like Equinix and Digital Realty, have ambitious plans
        for carbon neutrality. These operators are actively working towards
        significant reductions in carbon emissions by 2030 or 2040, aligning
        with global sustainability goals.
    --  The Uptime Institute forecasts demand for approximately 326,700
        full-time employees in data centers worldwide by 2025, highlighting the
        need for skilled professionals. Collaborations between industry and
        educational institutions, such as training programs, are essential.
        Collaboration with educational institutions addresses the shortage of
        skilled personnel in data centers.
    --  The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic have led to supply
        chain disruptions impacting data center construction. To address this,
        operators are adopting measures like increasing the number of suppliers
        and using prefabrication to mitigate lead times. Government initiatives
        also play a role in boosting local supply.

GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
