• The market size for data center automation is projected to expand significantly in the upcoming years, with estimates predicting it will reach $23.6 billion by 2029, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2%.
Several factors account for this expected increase during the forecast period, such as a surge in the amount and pace of data production, advancements in cloud computing and online applications, imperative energy and cost-efficiency needs, global digitization expansion, and the proliferation of internet of things (IoT) devices, social media, and smartphones. The forecast period will also witness key trends such as technological progression, an influx in data creation due to extensive digitization, a global rise in IoT uptake, the fast-paced emergence of 5G technology, and increasing global data traffic.
The escalation in the quantity and velocity of data creation is forecasted to stimulate the advancement of the data center automation market. The term data creation pertains to the development or production of data via various sources and processes. This has seen a surge as a result of the extensive adoption of digital technology like smartphones, IoT devices, social media platforms, and online transactions, which consistently generate massive data from diverse sources and interactions. Data center automation plays a crucial role in data creation by supplying the essential infrastructure and tools for managing and processing the mounting data volume efficiently. For instance, a report from Sky's The Limit (STL), a US-based optical and digital solutions firm, indicated that the worldwide data created in 2021 was roughly 79 zettabytes. By 2025, it is projected that approximately 150 zettabytes of data will be created, which is twice the projected volume for 2022. As a result, the escalation in the quantity and velocity of data creation is fuelling the advancement of the data center automation market.
