Description

North America Data Center Stamped Metal Components Market was valued at USD 4.12 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% to reach USD 8.39 billion by 2034.

Market growth is driven by the rapid expansion of hyperscale and colocation data centers, increasing cloud adoption, and rising investments in digital infrastructure across the U.S. and Canada. Stamped metal components play a critical role in ensuring structural integrity, thermal management, and equipment protection within data centers. With increasing rack density, higher power consumption, and stricter uptime requirements, demand for precision-engineered metal enclosures, brackets, frames, and chassis has intensified. Additionally, the push toward energy-efficient and modular data center designs is accelerating the adoption of high-strength, lightweight stamped metal components that support scalability while maintaining durability and cost efficiency.

The server racks and cabinets segment captured USD 1.5 billion in 2024, driven by the continuous expansion of hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data centers. These components are essential for securely housing servers, networking equipment, and power distribution units while ensuring structural stability, effective airflow management, and thermal efficiency. Stamped metal server racks and cabinets are widely preferred due to their high load-bearing capacity, precise dimensional accuracy, and ability to support high-density server configurations.

In terms of material, the stainless steel segment generated USD 360.51 million in 2024. Steel remains the preferred material due to its superior load-bearing capacity, durability, and cost-effectiveness compared to alternative materials. Its widespread use in frames, mounting brackets, rails, and structural supports ensures long-term mechanical stability, especially in large-scale data center deployments. Furthermore, advancements in corrosion-resistant coatings and precision stamping techniques have enhanced the suitability of steel for controlled data center environments. The recyclability of steel also aligns with sustainability initiatives adopted by major data center operators aiming to reduce their environmental footprint.

United States Data Center Stamped Metal Components Market reached USD 3.3 billion in 2024. This leadership is supported by the country’s strong concentration of hyperscale data centers, extensive cloud infrastructure investments, and presence of major technology companies. Federal and private investments in digital transformation, artificial intelligence workloads, and edge computing continue to fuel demand for advanced data center infrastructure, directly boosting the need for stamped metal components. The U.S. also benefits from a well-established metal fabrication ecosystem, enabling faster production cycles and high-volume customization for data center operators.

Key players operating in the North America Data Center Stamped Metal Components Market include Amphenol Corporation, nVent Electric plc, Vertiv Group Corp., Hubbell Incorporated, Eaton Corporation, Legrand SA, and Rittal GmbH & Co. KG. These companies focus on enhancing manufacturing precision, expanding production capacity, and offering customized stamped metal solutions tailored to evolving data center requirements. Companies in the North America Data Center Stamped Metal Components Market are adopting a combination of capacity expansion, design innovation, and strategic partnerships to strengthen their market position. Leading players are investing in advanced stamping technologies, including automated presses and precision tooling, to improve production efficiency and dimensional accuracy. Customization has become a key differentiator, with manufacturers offering tailored racks, enclosures, and mounting systems to support high-density and modular data center designs.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
