Market Growth Analysis Driver

Increasing number of data centers is the key factor driving market growth. The emergence of edge computing, which involves processing closer to the source or end-users to reduce latency and bandwidth usage, requires the deployment of smaller data center outsourcing or micro centers at the edge of the network, leading to increased construction in diverse locations. For instance, in November 2023, Microsoft Inc., the technology giant, announced its plan to build a sixth center in West Des Moines. Further, businesses are increasingly migrating their operations to cloud-based platforms for scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. This trend fuels the need for such center construction to support the infrastructure required for cloud services.

Furthermore, the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications requires significant computational power and storage capacity, driving the need for expansion and construction, which is expected to have a positive impact on the market during the forecast period. Additionally, the market is influenced by various factors such as infrastructure, electrical infrastructure, UPS systems, other electrical infrastructure, mechanical infrastructure, cooling systems, racks, IT and telecommunications, and government and defense initiatives.

Market Growth and Trends

Increased focus on constructing eco-friendly data centers in US is the primary trend shaping market growth. There is a growing awareness of the environmental impact of data centers among businesses, particularly in terms of energy consumption and carbon emissions. Businesses and consumers are increasingly prioritizing sustainability and seeking eco-friendly alternatives. Eco-friendly centers align with corporate sustainability strategies and help organizations meet their environmental objectives. Energy-efficient centers result in significant cost savings over time by reducing energy bills and operating expenses.

Consequently, the demand for eco-friendly centers in the US is driven by a combination of environmental awareness, regulatory pressures, cost considerations, market demand, and technological innovation. As sustainability continues to be a priority for businesses and society as a whole, the construction of eco-friendly data centers is expected to accelerate, which in turn it will increase the market trends during the forecast period.

Market Restrain

Cybersecurity issues is a challenge that affects market growth. Cyber-attacks pose significant threats to the security, integrity, and availability of critical infrastructure and sensitive data. Data centers are prime targets for cybercriminals due to the vast amount of valuable information stored within them and their role in supporting numerous online services and businesses. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks involve flooding a data center's network infrastructure with a massive volume of traffic, rendering it inaccessible to legitimate users.

Further, ransomware attacks pose a significant threat to such center construction projects by encrypting critical project files, documents, and communications systems, effectively disrupting project workflows and causing delays. Attackers may demand ransom payments in exchange for decryption keys, further exacerbating the impact on project timelines and budgets. Thus, such factors may impede market growth during the forecast period.

Market Segmentation By Application

The market share by the enterprise segment will be significant during the forecast period. Enterprises across various industries, such as healthcare, BFSI, and IT, are undergoing digital transformation initiatives to remain competitive in today's digital economy. This transformation involves the adoption of cloud computing, big data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, artificial intelligence (AI), and other digital technologies, all of which require robust infrastructure to store, process, and analyze vast amounts of information.

The enterprise segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 5.85 billion in 2018. They plays a critical role in disaster recovery planning by providing redundant infrastructure, backup power supply, and replication services to minimize downtime and loss in the event of disruptions. Overall, the growing demand for centers for enterprises in the US reflects the increasing reliance on digital technologies, the expansion of online services, and the need for scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure to support business growth, innovation, and competitiveness in the digital age. Hence, the growing demand will have a positive impact on the growth of the data center construction market in US during the forecast period. 

Market Segmentation By End-user

Data centers are critical infrastructure for the IT and telecom industry, providing the necessary computing power and storage for a wide range of applications and services. Cloud computing has become a popular way for businesses to access computing resources without having to invest in expensive hardware and infrastructure. They play a crucial role in 5G deployments by providing edge computing capabilities, caching content closer to end-users, and supporting network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networks (SDN) technologies. Further, IoT devices generate vast amounts that need to be processed and stored. These are essential for managing and providing real-time analysis for applications such as smart homes, smart cities, and industrial automation. Thus, such factors will boost the growth of the data center construction market in US during the forecast period.
