Data Center Market Size To Reach $652.01 Billion By 2030

Data Center Market Growth & Trends

The global data center market size is expected to reach USD 652.01 billion in 2030 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.2% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing digital transformation across industries boosts a strong data center infrastructure to support cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and other digital initiatives. The surging usage of cloud services involves data centers providing the required infrastructure for hosting and managing cloud-based services and applications. Data centers with adequate processing and storage capacity are required to support the expanding use of data-intensive applications such as AI, machine learning, big data analytics, and virtual reality. The development of Internet of Things (IoT) devices generates vast volumes of data that must be processed and analyzed, creating demand for data centers.

Furthermore, during the pandemic, the transition to remote work and virtual collaboration underlined the need of data centers in facilitating remote access, communication, and collaboration capabilities. Because of the increasing expansion of online shopping and e-commerce platforms, data centers are required to handle transaction processing, inventory management, and consumer data storage. Data centers are essential for effective content distribution and good user experiences in streaming services, social media platforms, and online gaming.

The rising frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks highlight the importance of secure data storage and processing facilities such as those provided by data centers. Adoption of edge computing, which processes data closer to the source, necessitates the use of edge data centers to reduce latency and support real-time processing. Data centers are used in smart city initiatives to handle and analyze data from sensors, cameras, and gadgets, allowing for better urban planning and resource management. Finance, healthcare, and government all require data centers that adhere to stringent regulatory standards for data security and privacy. Some areas require that specific data be stored within their borders, necessitating the necessity for local data center infrastructure.
