Micro Data Center Market Size and Forecasts (2020 - 2030), Global and Regional Share, Trends, and Growth Opportunity Analysis Report Coverage: By Rack Type (Single Rack and Multi Rack), Organization Size (Large Enterprises and SMEs), and End User (IT & Telecom, BFSI, Retail, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Others)

The micro data center market size is expected to reach US$ 10,253.85 million by 2030 from US$ 3,650.00 million in 2022, with an estimated CAGR of 13.8% from 2022 to 2030.

A micro data center is a miniaturized modular data center that includes all the computer, networking, storage, cooling, power, and other infrastructure required for a given workload. Micro data centers comprise various components, including computing infrastructure (servers, storage, and networking), power and cooling systems, security mechanisms, and management software. They are available in form factors such as prefabricated modular units, rack-based systems, and containerized data centers. Micro data centers offer flexibility, scalability, and easy deployment, making them suitable for various industrial applications and end users. In past few years, rising adoption of Internet of Things (IoT), content delivery, and 5G have created a surge in demand for low-latency access to data processing and storage. IoT, big data, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) are a few technologies that generate huge volumes of data, require low latency processing, and demand localized computing resources. Data generated by IoT devices must be processed, stored, and analyzed in real time. IoT devices are widely used for connecting various physical objects and enabling data collection and communication. Micro data centers positioned at the edge of the network can provide local computing power, storage, and analytics capabilities, which reduce the latency and bandwidth requirements of transmitting data to a centralized data center. Micro data centers enable real-time decision-making and facilitate IoT deployments across the manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and smart city industries. Hence, the adoption of micro data centers is rising, leading to a rise in the launch of advanced micro data center offerings.

Based on organization size, the micro data center market is segmented into large enterprises and SMEs. The large enterprises segment held the largest micro data center market share in 2022, but the SMEs segment is also anticipated to register the highest CAGR in the micro data center market during the forecast period. Larger enterprises are organizations with a strength of more than 1,000 employees. Large enterprises are expanding their IT infrastructure which generates a greater volume of digitized data. Enterprises require storage and computing services to manage and maintain the efficiency of data. In addition, large enterprises can rent a large area for their data storage and management. Renting spaces helps them focus on other business goals. Therefore, the demand for micro data centers is rising from large enterprises. HIRO Micro Data Centers and Schneider Electric are the key market players in the micro data center market. SMEs are organizations with a strength of 50–1,000 employees. There is a growing need for data management at a lower cost among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to stay competitive. SMEs play a vital role in economies; they are conscious of the cost and avoid investing in high-cost solutions, services, and advanced technology. SMEs are focused on simplifying volumes of operations and reducing operational costs, which is fueling the demand for micro data centers. Moreover, micro data centers are designed to be modular and scalable, allowing organizations to easily add or remove computing resources based on their needs. Further, due to the rising need for high-volume data management with growing digitization, the popularity of microdata solutions is increasing among SMEs. SMEs prefer micro data centers for IT management, which is a cost-efficient solution, and avoid investing in setting up IT infrastructure.

The micro data center market is segmented on the basis of rack type, organization size, end user, and geography. Based on rack type, the micro data center market is bifurcated into single rack and multi rack. Based on organization size, the micro data center market is segmented into large enterprises and SMEs. On the basis of end user, the micro data center market is segmented into IT & telecom, BFSI, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and others. By region, the micro data center market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America.
