• Facilities in tier 1 & 2 are expected to gradually lose their demand and display a decrease in growth in the upcoming years. Tier 1 & 2 facilities are expected to hold a market share of nearly 22.5% by 2029 with minimal growth. This is a result of the prolonged and inconsistent outages. Most users will eventually switch to tier 3 and 4 facilities, holding 36% and 41.5% of market shares, respectively, owing to the increased demand for storing, processing, and analyzing data.
• The BFSI sector of the economy is expanding. The Brazilian Central Bank encourages initiatives to increase the adoption level of open banking.

For instance, investment in Brazilian fintech companies increased from USD 546 million in 2018 to USD 1200 million in 2021. The above instances guarantee the growth of data centers in the Brazilian market. This necessitates the construction of wholesale and hyperscale facilities, which have tier 3 and 4 requirements and are driven by the rising demand for e-banking and online transactions.
• Additionally, tier 4 data centers are expected to expand significantly in the future. This is because more businesses are providing cloud-based services, which has caused more companies to construct facilities to provide colocation space with the best technology.
