The global modular data center market size is anticipated to reach USD 75.77 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 17.4% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for modular data centers is expected to grow owing to growing digital transformation, increasing demand for data analytics, and expansion of edge computing. The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the modular data center market. Demand for businesses that rely on digital infrastructure increased, which led to significant growth in demand for data center network services in many industries. For instance, India is one of the fastest-growing digital economies in the world.
The pandemic forced a majority of the workforce to work remotely, which resulted in a growing number of companies investing in IT services. The need for data centers has increased over the past few years as a result of this expanding digitization. The need for scaling up the storage and data processing requirements have been brought to light by the increased data consumption during the lockdown. India's developing digital ecosystem is fueled by its more than 700 million internet users, and more than 1 billion mobile phone users, increasing social media participation, and a tremendous surge in digital entertainment, which have consequently led to an increased demand for data centers in India.
Governments are increasingly placing a strong emphasis on new technology applications and energy efficiency metrics when building data centers. On the other hand, modular data centers’ good performance in terms of energy consumption and the advantages in terms of construction, planning, and required space are consistent with governmental policy. Another benefit of a modular data center is its effectiveness at cooling; according to statistics from Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI), these facilities use 40% less energy than a standard data center. The Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of these kinds of data centers is consistently cited in the lower ranges of this measure as a result of lower power consumption.
