Modular Data Center Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Component (Services, Function Module Solutions), Application (Temporary Storage Expansion, Emergency Data Storage, Disaster Recovery, Starter Data Centers, Temporary Deployment), End User (Healthcare, Retail, Industrial), and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Modular Data Center Market is accounted for $21.62 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $66.85 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 17.5% during the forecast period. A modular data center is a moveable method, which was designed for quick deployment, energy efficiency, and compute density in consideration. These data centers have all of the necessary functions, such as information technology, power, cooling, fire protection, and access control, and are energy efficient and highly scalable, and they can be rapidly deployed to suit the clients’ present and near-term requirements. Modular traditional data centre modules can be shipped, integrated or retrofitted in order to add to an existing data centre or combined into a system of modules. It can be placed where the data is required and provides scalable converged infrastructure with cooling capacity. It can be containerized and shipped to anywhere in the world and can be assembled back within no time.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing need for energy-efficient data centers

Rising demand for MD centers, due to the growing numeral of ecological defence and energy utilization rules lay down by diverse governments across the world. It is easier to cool the cramped space of the MD center than one big room, and fitted aisle suppression minimizes hot and cold air mixing. According to data from building industry consulting service international (BICSI), these data centers supply 40% superior energy effectiveness than an open data center environment. Hence, these data centers are more energy-efficient and consume slighter power than traditional data centers and additional assist in satisfying the organizations’ intrinsic need for lower energy consumption.

Restraint:

Vendor lock-ins limit client purchase options

The vendor lock-in provided by the vendor in which the modular data centers have to commit to a particular vendor's hardware and support offerings is projected to hinder the market growth. Modular data centers were frequently built-to-order and presented the choice of customization, according to the client’s environment. These functionalities enabled the data center users to order data centers that were able to adapt to their requirements and the overall operating environment of the organization. Though, the modern modular data centers lack this capability for full customization, due to their uniform nature and prefabricated modules. In addition, the uniform nature of the modular data center offering restricts the organization to a single seller and further restrains the user from adding novel solutions from dissimilar vendors to optimize the data center. This lack of customization and limitation in buying options is expected to obstruct the market growth.

Opportunity:

Surge in demand for the modular data centers from colocation providers

Many organizations have turned to colocation data centers to help manage capacity requirements more effectively. The colocation and hyperscale data center operators strive to grow their businesses in the highly competitive data center services marketplace. Hence, both the systems resilience and time-to-market have emerged as essential business differentiators. Therefore, more colocation businesses adopt advanced technologies, such as a prefabricated modular data center, to better service customer requirements for quick application and deployment stability. Modularly designed colocation data centers make it incredibly simple for organizations to incrementally scale data halls without sacrificing reliability or the flexibility to customize the environment to desired specifications. Thus, colocation providers are expected to provide huge opportunities for deploying modular data centers.

Threat:

Reliance on power usage effectiveness (PUE) as sole efficiency measure

Power usage effectiveness (PUE) has turn into an extensively accepted criterion to gauge the overall effectiveness of modular data centers. Though, this factor only measures the effectiveness in terms of the quantity of power drawn by the data center, compared to that utilized by IT equipment in the data center; this doesn’t mean that the IT equipment is performing efficiently. In addition, PUE is reliant on the design, overall size, dataset, and location of the data center, and thus, cannot act as a comparative measure between two data center vendors. On the other hand, using the traditional PUE calculation and attempting to allocate a portion of that energy to the data module of interest, may prove impossible or misrepresent PUE for that particular module. This results in misallocated costs and poorly informed operational decisions.

The large data centers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The large data centers segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the growing demand for private cloud among the large enterprises, rising number of challenges faced by the large companies related to high power consumption and high carbon footprint. These data centers provide higher efficiency related to cooling and power, saves time, and decrease the cost related to building and maintenance. Large organizations are embracing data centers with massively efficient technology to meet their ever-increasing data storage needs.

The information technology (IT) and telecommunication segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The information technology (IT) and telecommunication segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to increasing investment by key market players. The telecom providers, to optimize their networks and the digital services running on them, are going to need more compute and storage capacity to be deployed across carrier networks. Since the advent of the internet, telecommunication has been one of the major driving forces behind global development and value creation. Additionally, the increasing 4G penetration and the upcoming 5G wave are further motivating telecom vendors to invest in the modular data center market for more network functionality and a much higher ability to manage networks around the edges due to high data traffic.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to technical advancements, and increasing espousal of the data centers in the IT and Telecom and BFSI sector. The region includes early adopters from industries, such as BFSI, government and defense, and IT and telecom, which contribute major market shares and adopt modular solutions in their data centers, creating lucrative opportunities. Moreover, this region has the largest number of cloud service providers, which is likely to result in increased investments related to the technological development of the existing infrastructure, contributing to the growth in the number of modular data center deployments.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to rising usage of advanced technologies such as IoT and artificial intelligence, increase in cloud service providers, booming gaming and social media sector, increasing adoption of LTE public safety services in China, and increasing number of SMEs and startups in countries such as China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, and others. The IT industry in the APAC countries is developing at a rapid pace opening new avenues for the players operating in this region.
