North America Data Center Market by Type (Colocation, Hyperscale, Edge, and Others), by Deployment Model (On-premise, Cloud, and Hybrid), by Enterprise Size (Large Enterprise and Small and Medium Size Enterprise), and by End User (BFSI, IT and Telecom, Government, Energy and Utilities, and Other End Users)–Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024–2030
The North America Data Center Market size was valued at USD 118.72 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 189.90 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2024 to 2030.
Reports indicate that network infrastructure significantly boosted the US GDP, with a PwC study commissioned by the Data Center Coalition revealing a USD 2.1 trillion contribution between 2017 and 2021. Data intelligence firm CloudScene highlights the US's substantial lead in market numbers, hosting 5,389 facilities, a figure five times greater than the UK's 512 network infrastructures. Additionally, significant investments by tech giants such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), demonstrated by a USD 35 billion allocation for new network infrastructure in Virginia, underscore the industry's growth trajectory and its crucial role in supporting cloud expansion initiatives, even amid broader corporate restructuring efforts.
However, the data center industry faces notable challenges, primarily the high initial investment required and stringent environmental regulations. Establishing and maintaining network infrastructure demands significant upfront financial commitments, creating barriers for smaller businesses and startups. Additionally, compliance with environmental regulations necessitates ongoing investments in energy-efficient technologies hinders the overall market growth.
On the other hand, the integration of edge computing into network infrastructure operations holds significant promise for the industry's future. By minimizing latency and enabling real-time processing, edge computing supports applications such as IoT and AR, easing the burden on centralized cloud data centers and offering scalability and flexibility. This decentralized approach not only enhances security by processing sensitive data locally but also aligns with evolving digital landscapes, creating diverse opportunities for network infrastructure providers. Recent investments in startups such as Armada highlight the growing interest in edge computing solutions, reflecting a concerted effort to address connectivity challenges and bridge the digital divide.

Regional Analysis
The U.S. Holds the Dominant Market Share in North America Data Center Market
In the United States, the market landscape is defined by a strategic dispersion of over 5,300 facilities nationwide. Northern California stands out as a hub for data-intensive enterprises, hosting industry giants such as Google, Facebook, Uber, Twitter, and Yelp. This widespread distribution highlights the integration of data across various sectors of the US economy, influenced by factors such as regional energy cost considerations. Interestingly, despite the prominence of key locations such as Northern California, the top 10 data center hubs collectively represent less than 40% of all US facilities, illustrating significant geographic diversity with nearly every state hosting at least one network infrastructure. Furthermore, market dominance is evident, with the industry largely controlled by major operators such as Lumen Technology, Verizon, Digital Realty, AT&T, and Equinix, who collectively command a substantial portion of the market share.
