- The tier 4 segment leads the German data center market based on tier capacity. The segment's capacity is expected to grow from 524.3 MW in 2023 to 1112.5 MW by 2029, with a CAGR of 13.4%. With evolving technology, the German population is increasingly adopting various internet devices such as desktops, tablets, smartphones, consoles, and smart gear for streaming content, home security, online gaming, and other services.
- This trend has led to a shift from traditional desktops or laptops to a range of new devices. Initially, data centers were meant to cater to the minimal requirements of clients. Thus, they were small in size and had Tier 1 & 2 certifications and minimum racks.
- With the growing adoption of new devices and the implementation of a 5G network to provide the necessary speeds to use these devices at the fullest potential, companies are shifting toward facilities that offer uninterrupted computing services. Therefore, the market share of tier 4 facilities is expected to increase from 34% in 2023 to 47.2% in 2029.
- The number of people living in smart cities accounts for around 76%, which is expected to increase further. For instance, smart cities such as Weimar have transitioned their street lighting from traditional bulbs to smart LEDs due to rising energy prices. Around 83% of the lighting has been replaced with the smart lighting system, thus helping save energy of 100,000 kWh and reduce lighting expenses. Such infrastructural developments are supported by tier 3 and 4 facilities with minimal downtimes, thus complementing the growth of these segments in the market.
