What Is The Driver Of The Data Center Market?

The increasing number of IoT-linked devices is expected to boost the growth of the data center market going forward. IoT-linked devices refer to nonstandard computing devices that connect wirelessly to a network and have the ability to transmit data. The increasing number of IoT devices drives the demand for sophisticated data center solutions that can handle the unique challenges posed by the massive amounts of data, the need for real-time processing, and the requirements for scalability and security in the evolving IoT landscape. For instance, in November 2022, according to a report published by Ericsson, a Sweden-based telecommunication company, broadband IoT (4G/5G), which connects the majority of cellular IoT devices, reached 1.3 billion connections in 2022. Nearly 60% of cellular IoT connections are anticipated to be broadband IoT connections by the end of 2028, with 4G connecting the bulk. Therefore, the increasing number of IoT-linked devices is driving the growth of the data center industry.

Global Data Center Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the data centre market are focusing on developing modular, liquid-cooled pre-fabricated data centre units, to meet the rising demand for rapid deployment, high-density compute, energy efficiency and edge infrastructure. A modular, liquid-cooled pre-fabricated data centre unit is a factory-assembled building block that integrates power, cooling, racks and monitoring systems, delivered as a complete module rather than built on-site from scratch. For instance, in November 2023, Vertiv Group Corp., a US-based provider of critical digital infrastructure, launched its SmartMod Max CW modular data centre unit. It supports up to 200 kW of IT load in a single unit, uses chilled-water cooling to boost energy efficiency and is factory-assembled and tested to reduce on-site build time and cost. It also offers customisable power/cooling configurations and enables rapid deployment from edge to mid-sized enterprise settings.
