Global Mega Data Center Market 2023-2030

Global Mega Data Center Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Solution (Storage, Networking, Server, Security, and Others), and by End-User (BFSI, IT &Telecom, Government, Media & Entertainment, and Others) Forecast Period (2023-2030)

The global mega data center market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. A mega data center is a single facility that contains more than 15,000 servers and is spread across a large area. The power of these data centers can range from 10 megawatts (MW) up to 100MW.The market is driven by a significant rise in big data and the increasing adoption of cloud-based services owing to its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. The companies are adopting colocation and cloud services to enhance the flexibility and scalability of their business efficiency and effectiveness. Moreover, major companies are managing their business data through cloud services as the deployment of an infrastructure facility involves a high cost that propels enterprises to shift to data cloud services.

Additionally, regulations around data privacy and security are driving companies to invest in data center infrastructure that is compliant with the latest regulations. Moreover, with the explosion of data generated by Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT), there is a surging need for more storage and processing capabilities, which is accelerating the adoption of mega data centers that are capable of processing and storing vast amounts of data.

Segmental Outlook

The global mega data center market is segmented based on solution and end-user. Based on solution, the market is segmented into storage, networking, server, security, and other (cooling, IT infrastructure, management software, and support infrastructure). Based on end-user, the market is segmented into BFSI, IT &telecom, government, media & entertainment, and other (energy).

BFSI Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share in the Global Market

The BFSI is one of the largest generators of data, and the need for a data center to regulate the cost of operations is a primary driver. BFSI sector requires data centers to store customer records, employee management, transactions, and electronic banking services, such as remote banking, telebanking, and self-inquiry, which need data centers to function. Many banks maintain their own data centers; however it has been observed that the trend is changing due to fluctuations in the banks' profits. Additionally, maintaining a data center is cumbersome, owing to the cost drain on IT, real estate, and operations, as it requires proper cooling, security, and power facilities.

Regional Outlook

The global mega data center market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). Among these, the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to be the fastest-growing region owing to the rapidly developing IT industry across the nations including India and China, among others.

North America Region to Hold a Considerable Share in the Global Mega data center Market

North America is expected to hold a considerable share in the global mega data center market. Advanced IT infrastructure, high demand for cloud services, along with the presence of key technology service providers are some of the key factors contributing to the regional market growth. For instance, in August 2023, state legislators of Virginia are developing a new Mega Data Center Incentive Program, which includes up to a 15-year extension of existing sales and use tax exemptions for data center companies on qualifying equipment and software. The new Mega Data Center Incentive program is being developed by The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP), in collaboration with the state General Assembly’s Major Employment and Investment (MEI) Project Approval Commission. The assembly was to approve the new incentives, along with a proposed MEI custom performance grant for Amazon of up to $140 million for site and infrastructure improvements, workforce development, and other project-related costs. Cohesive government partnerships and programs to promote mega data center are further contributing to the regional market growth.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global mega data center market include Cisco Systems Inc., Dell Software Inc., Fujitsu Ltd., Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, and Intel Corp., among others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, and funding to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in May 2023, Ayala Corp. and Singapore-based ST Telemedia Global Data Centers are expanding their footprint in the Philippines with the construction of a $1 billion data center in one of Southeast Asia's fastest growing digital economies. The partners will build a 124-megawatt capacity data center with a gross floor area of 83,000 square meters in the northern Metro Manila suburb of Quezon City. It will be the country’s largest and most interconnected carrier-neutral data center.
