The rising demand for data center colocation facilities is notably driving the market growth, although the emergence of containerized data centers may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Rising demand for data center colocation facilities is notably driving the data center colocation market growth. Companies that operate colocation facilities offer many advantages over companies that build their own data centers. Colocation significantly reduces infrastructure capital expenditures and increases the connectivity needed for operational services. A colocation facility consists of private racks that a company can rent to run its IT infrastructure. The number of these institutions is growing each year rapidly. Many companies build and operate their own cloud platforms. These organizations can streamline their IT infrastructure operations to improve uptime and resource availability.
The adoption of managed hosting services is expected to increase during the forecast period with the increasing online presence of businesses in various industries. Managed hosting service providers such as Rackspace are expanding their presence globally, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Local providers of colocation and managed hosting services are driving significant investment in the market.
Innovative approaches like submarine data centers are a key trend influencing the data center colocation market growth. Traditional data centers generate a lot of heat. Many service providers are looking to move their data centers to cooler countries to save money and investment in power and cooling systems. Cooling system accounts for 30%-40% of data center power consumption. Free cooling and liquid immersion cooling techniques are implemented in data center facilities to reduce power consumption. Many innovations have been implemented by data center service providers to improve facility efficiency. One such innovation is the undersea data center.
Microsoft provides an undersea data center and operates several meters below sea level off the Scottish archipelago of the Orkney Islands. This undersea data center consists of multiple computer racks with dozens of servers. This data center can store data and process information for up to five years without requiring maintenance. This underwater data center helps improve internet speeds in areas lacking the necessary infrastructure, making cooling easier with less investment in chillers and racks. Innovative approaches like this help reduce power consumption in data centers. Many large enterprises will prefer underwater data centers to help businesses increase internet speeds in areas lacking the necessary infrastructure. Subsea data centers are, therefore, likely to boost the market's growth during the forecast period.
The emergence of containerized data centers is challenging the data center colocation market growth. Containerized data centers are also known as modular data centers with portable data shelves. These modular data centers can be located anywhere. Modular data centers consist of servers, storage, and networking equipment housed in shipping containers. Faced with the growing need to expand and replace existing and traditional fixed data centers, several market players are introducing new containerized data centers. For example, Schneider Electric SE launched its Edge Container Data Center, a modular data center delivered in containers. Some top companies like International Business Machines Inc. (IBM), Dell Technologies Inc. (Dell), HP Inc. (HP), and Schneider Electric SE (Schneider Electric) have implemented containerized data centers.
Portable and containerized data centers are the best solution for multiple companies that need to set up data centers in a short period of time to handle growing data volumes. Therefore, containerized data centers will hinder the growth of the market.

Retail colocation includes the process of renting racks, rack cages, and private suites in large data centers. Retail colocation facilities are leased by vendors on 1 to 3-year contracts.
