The rise in the adoption of multi-cloud and network upgrades to support 5Gs is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as increasing power consumption may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year and the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rise in the adoption of multi-cloud and network upgrades to support 5Gs is notably driving the market growth. Data centers are highly capital-intensive business facilities, with investments upward of a billion. the stakeholders in the data center used to the building and construction industry face immense pressure to adhere to timelines and start operations as soon as possible. At this time market and costs per megawatt are the key indicators considered for a data center facility's design and construction process. Meeting contractual schedules and performance requirements are major challenges for the growth of the global data center market. The delay in developing a data center generally occurs due to government inactions, public opposition, inability to obtain financing, weather conditions, industrial accidents, and labor disruptions.
Moreover, the global data center market has witnessed unprecedented demand in 2021-2022 as enterprises increase investments to upgrade IT infrastructure and shift toward cloud services. Enterprises purchase server configurations supporting big data analytics, AI, and software-defined infrastructure. However, a shortage in the supply of server components from the supplier side renders it difficult for vendors to meet the demand. The shortage of server components also created an issue in lead times (the period between server order booking and server delivery) for some of the server vendor's channel partners (from 30 days to 3 months). Such issues can delay the launch of servers in the market, resulting in data center operators incurring additional costs, which may hamper the growth of the global data center market during the forecast period.
Increased adoption of HPC across enterprises is a key trend in the market. HPC is a combination of processes for delivering higher and more efficient performance in computing. Usually, HPC systems are a cluster of processors with 16-64 nodes. They use algorithms, networks, and simulated computer environments, ranging from small cluster computers to large supercomputers. HPC systems are primarily used for scientific and engineering applications. They have a high level of computing performance compared with general-purpose computers. The performance of HPC systems is measured in floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) instead of million instructions (MIPS). HPC systems aid in solving recurring problems and complex operations much faster and more efficiently for applications such as physical simulations, weather forecasting, quantum mechanics, and molecular modeling.
In addition, the increasing need to establish product innovation and economic competitiveness drives the demand for HPC. HPC systems are mainly used by aerospace and defense companies, governments, laboratories, and research centers. Help these firms require these systems to solve highly complex tasks, such as simulating air effects on plane wings and determining weather conditions. Cloud-based HPC systems are likely to minimize the expenditure of SMEs as they require low initial investments for infrastructure construction and hardware implementation. The following are some examples of investments in HPC in the market.
HPC systems incorporate tens of thousands of processors that can perform billions and trillions of computations or calculations per second. To perform these calculations efficiently, HPC systems need highly configured servers and data centers that can handle compute-intensive workloads. The rising use of HPC systems will continue to increase the demand for high-performance data centers, These factors impact the growth of the global data center market during the forecast period.
Increasing power consumption is a challenge to market growth. Due to a rise in internet penetration, the growing use of social networking sites, the improvement of automation technologies, smart city initiatives, and the implementation of AI across industries are driving investments in data centers. Globally, data centers will account for nearly 4% of the world's electricity consumption in 2022. This number is expected to double by the end of the forecast period. In a data center, servers and cooling solutions account for a major share of electricity consumption.
Moreover, most developed nations, such as the US, the UK, Japan, and emerging countries, observe significant power production and consumption gaps. Large-sized data centers are used by multiple enterprises, and millions of users need to be powered continuously to ensure business continuity. The construction of data centers globally is increasing yearly, which raises the risk of power shortage during the forecast period. Vendors are also moving toward modernizing data centers. The installation of intelligent infrastructure systems, such as automation software, DCIM solutions, and energy-efficient power equipment, will gain popularity in data centers during the forecast period. Moreover, enterprises are slowly moving toward energy-efficient infrastructure models for the construction of data centers. This shift toward greener energy sources and the focus on reducing carbon emissions can hinder market growth during the forecast period.
