Global Micro Mobile Data Center Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Vertical (Government & Defense, IT & Telecom, Oil & Gas, BFSI, Manufacturing), By Type (40-60 RU, 20-40 RU, and Up to 20 RU), By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028
The Global Micro Mobile Data Center Market size is expected to reach $12.6 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 18.0% CAGR during the forecast period.
The micro mobile data center is an infrastructure concept that integrates the storage, processing, and networking elements required to operate outdoor and indoor applications in a secure computing environment. Micro mobile data centers are typically available in standard prefabricated sizes, allowing data center operators to save money and time compared to the conventional method of erecting data centers.
Micro mobile data centers are suited for usage in applications, such as remote office and branch offices, instant data centers, and edge computing due to their small size and adaptability. The increasing demand for high-performance, energy-efficient, as well as cost-effective data center solutions is the primary growth driver for the micro mobile data center market.
The digital world depends on the capacity to create an amazing client experience at any time and from any location. This implies quick information access and a fundamental shift in how users see data centers. The majority of major companies have migrated to co-location facilities, private and public clouds, the edge cloud, and data centers that are evolving with virtualization and software-defined networks.
The shift toward Edge Data Centers is motivated by intelligent convenience, agility, and cost-effectiveness. A considerable number of IT firms believe that their environment has become complex as well as impenetrable.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are numerous delays in project completion. Due to disruptions in the supply chain of hardware components from key IT manufacturers, the market is anticipated to expand modestly in 2020. Nevertheless, demand is anticipated to increase due to edge computing, distant and branch offices, and instant data centers; hence, the market will expand gradually over the next few years. Edge computing would be the primary growth driver for the micro mobile data center industry. In addition, data center transformation has become a necessity as firms seek to cut their CAPEX in response to mounting financial pressures.
Market Growth Factors
The Rising Integration Of Plug-And-Play Data Centers Throughout The World
A company's data center should be considered its beating heart. It is the location where important information is held, as well as the location from which it is distributed. As a result of developments in the current technological landscape, as well as the trend toward increased centralization among organizations, there is less of a demand for investments in conventional data centers. As a direct consequence of this, there has been a gradual emergence of a requirement for the installation of data centers that are both more compact and more effective.
Simple And Easy Implementation Of Edge Computing Applications
The demand for computing power is growing in a variety of different sectors, including factories, offices, distribution warehouses, and telecom clouds, amongst others. The deployment of higher-density micro mobile data centers featuring 8kW to 10kW of power per cabinet is common among telecommunications companies. Distribution centers that require a high computational power to manage inventory, transactions, and shipping data favor the use of micro mobile data centers since it allows them to process orders more rapidly and efficiently.
Market Restraining Factors
Limited Customer Purchase Options Due To Vendor Lock-Ins
The majority of the time, conventional data centers are constructed on demand and provide customers with the opportunity to personalize their space to better suit their needs. Users of a data center are given the capability, by virtue of these features, to deploy data center components sourced from a variety of vendors and to modify those components in accordance with the requirements of the data center as a whole.
Type Outlook
