Asia-Pacific is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- The United States is poised to dominate the market in North America, owing to the presence of many services and software providers as well as high investments by colocation providers and hyper-scale data center operators. In the last few years, there has been a significant rise in the number of data centers. A considerable number of processors are being utilized in a given space to increase data centers' performance, which results in increased density. The requirement for power and cooling has grown along with increased density.
- The United States also contributes substantially to the global data center requirements from the banking, IT, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), retail, and healthcare industries. Data center service providers in the region are prompted to manage their operating costs, as the region is a lucrative market, considering the number of data centers and their expansions.
- Data centers' power density experiences growth by an average of 1.5 kW per rack, which results in limited air distribution and enhanced heat generation. In general, IT equipment typically needs between 100 and 160 cfm of air per kW, but in a dense environment, it diminishes to less than 100, which results in higher heat generation, driving the market's growth significantly.
- The expansion of mobile broadband, the emergence of 5G, growth in Big Data analytics, and cloud computing are the primary factors driving the demand for new data center infrastructures in the United States. Network providers are working to ensure the rapid implementation of 5G for better innovation. Such developments are further driving the demand for efficient data center cooling solutions and services among United States's enterprises.
- As per Cloudscene, as of September 2023, the total count of data centers in the United States was 5,375, whereas Germany ranked second with an overall count of 522 data centers. The United Kingdom ranked 3rd among countries in terms of the total number of data centers, with 517, while China recorded 448. This possession of a significant number of data centers in the United States is expected to amplify the market's growth throughout the forecast period.
