Global Data Centre Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2026-2032
Description
The global Data Centre market size is predicted to grow from US$ 347470 million in 2025 to US$ 756880 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.0% from 2026 to 2032.
A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and various security devices. Large data centers are industrial scale operations using as much electricity as a small town.
Growth Drivers
Explosive Demand for AI Computing Power: Large-scale model training and generative AI applications are driving the construction of hyperscale, high-power data centers, fueling surging demand for servers, liquid cooling equipment, and related infrastructure.
Accelerated development of China's computing hubs: Data center clusters in western regions with low electricity costs are expanding, driving infrastructure and equipment investment.
Overseas and emerging market expansion: Chinese vendors achieve double-digit export growth in Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets, while cross-border enterprises' computing demands fuel overseas data center deployments.
Value-added service expansion: Penetration of hybrid cloud, data disaster recovery, and compliance consulting services is rising, becoming new revenue growth drivers for vendors.
Driven by Upstream and Downstream Impacts
Upstream Drivers: Semiconductor advancements (e.g., mass production of high-performance CPUs and GPUs) enhance server computing power while reducing hardware costs; mature photovoltaic and energy storage technologies support data center green transformation. However, high-end chip production bottlenecks and rare earth material price volatility may constrain equipment delivery.
Downstream Drivers: Digital transformation of internet companies, government and enterprise cloud adoption, and growth in end-user industries like autonomous driving continuously drive demand for computing power and storage. Cloud providers' annual demand for new server racks reaches 70,000–80,000 units, directly driving midstream data center construction. Simultaneously, downstream requirements for high PUE efficiency and data security spur midstream technological innovation.
Other Drivers: Global carbon neutrality policies and data security regulations compel industry upgrades. The proliferation of 5G and IoT technologies fuels explosive data growth, fundamentally underpinning the long-term development of the data center industry.
