Data Center Infrastructure Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Solution (Hardware, Software, Services), By End Users (Cloud Provider, Enterprise, Colocation Provider), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2022 To 2027

Global Data Center Infrastructure Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.33%, reaching a market size of US$314.384 billion in 2027 from US$168.393 billion in 2020.

Datacenter infrastructure includes IT infrastructure devices, equipment, and technologies that strongly comprise a data center. Datacenter infrastructure is even required by IT and big multinational companies for storing data and running networks across their businesses. The data center infrastructure market is growing due to increasing colocation and data center in the world. The increasing demand for cloud networking is majorly driving the market for data center infrastructure. The increasing need for data centers to store this ever-growing volume of data is fueling the demand for data center infrastructure.

The data center infrastructure market is also growing due to an increase in demand for servers, computers, networking equipment like routers or switches, security components like firewalls or biometric security sensors, storage capacity, and data center management software and applications. The market is also witnessing noteworthy growth owing to the aging IT infrastructure, which is insufficient to store the current data volume. As such, companies are moving towards more intelligent physical infrastructure data center systems.

The global data center infrastructure market is segmented by solution, end-user, and geography. By solution, the global data center infrastructure market is segmented into hardware, software, and services. The market is further segmented by end-user as cloud providers, enterprise, and colocation providers.

Hardware to hold a major share

The hardware segment holds a major share in the data center infrastructure market. The growing number of data center around the world is augmenting the demand for hardware solutions to manage the data centers. The increasing number of cloud service providers is demanding more storage facilities with a growing volume of big data generated every year. This, in turn, is spurring the demand for servers, cables, networking equipment, storage space, and physical server racks & chassis, thus driving the market for the data center infrastructure.

The software and service segment are also projected to experience a rise in their market share in the data center infrastructure market. The growing use of data centers is increasing the requirement of data center infrastructure software for managing data centers and colocation centers. Increasing investments to create a skilled workforce is likely to support the growth of service solutions. For example, companies like Cisco are providing certified courses for special training in data center networking and technology for improvising employees for better fit according to advancing technology.

Cloud Service providers have a significant share

Cloud service providers accounted for a significant market share in 2019. The growth of this end-user segment is attributed to the increasing number of cloud service providers across the world for storing data and providing smooth access to their customers by using efficient networking devices. This, in turn, is bolstering the market growth of data center infrastructure. The colocation center as an end-user segment also holds considerable market share with increasing investments in colocation centers due to the requirement for large data storage spaces for big IT and multinational companies that need additional space for storing data and for networking purposes.

A lot of cloud service providers and colocation centers are collaborating to provide data center infrastructure in various countries across the world for better connectivity and networking. For example, Interxion, a leading provider of carrier and cloud-neutral colocation data center services in Europe, announced that dedicated access to Google Cloud Platform will be available across Europe through its Cloud Connect. Also, the company announced the construction of a new data center in Frankfurt in response to continued customer demand.

In January 2019, Equinix extended interconnection and data center services to Hamburg. Equinix will purchase the building for expanding Platform Equinix into the fourth German metro to support the Digital Edge strategy. In June 2019, E-Shelter opened its fourth data center campus in Frankfurt. The new site will offer carrier-neutral colocation services connected to e-shelter’s e-connect platform and provide access to multiple carriers and major cloud providers. The enterprise segment is expected to see a rise in the usage of the data center infrastructure market due to the increasing need for on-premise computing systems for storing data and for networking purposes.

By geography, North America is one of the major regional markets

Regionally, the global data center infrastructure market is classified into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and Asia Pacific. North America accounted for a significant market share in 2019 owing to the rising investments in data centers by both colocation and cloud service providers, supported by the presence of major market players in the region. Growing big data volume owing to technological advancements in artificial intelligence, and augmented reality for improving technology and providing better services to customers in the region is further contributing to the market growth as this requires the construction of more efficient data center infrastructure. The Asia Pacific region will witness the fastest regional market growth owing to the rising construction of data centers and emerging demand for cloud computing solutions across the region. The European and Middle East and Africa (MEA) markets for data center infrastructure will expand owing to the increase in adoption of cloud computing and the presence of some of the major players, catering to the demand with a wide range of solutions across different industry verticals.

Key Developments

• March 2022: To accommodate the rising demand for cloud computing services, Amazon Web Services announced it would spend over £1.8 billion ($2.36 billion) developing and running data centers in the UK over the next two years. According to AWS, it has committed to spending hundreds of millions of pounds to teach 29 million workers in cloud computing by 2025. According to the company, cloud computing can help advance the government's leveling-up strategy, which aims to distribute investment across the nation.
