Data center construction encompasses a series of essential procedures for establishing a data center facility designed to meet the operational environment requirements and building standards. It involves the planning and construction of a space capable of accommodating computing systems, storage devices, and other essential components necessary for data processing, storage, and communication.
The primary categories of data center construction include small-scale data centers, medium-scale data centers, and large-scale data centers. Small data centers refer to server storage spaces, rooms, and regional information centers with a computing floor area of less than 5,000 square feet. These data centers feature key infrastructure components such as electrical infrastructure, networking infrastructure, and others, complete with power distribution and cooling systems. They find application in various sectors, including banking, financial services, insurance (BFSI), energy, government, healthcare, manufacturing, IT and telecom, and more.

The data center construction market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $250.4 billion in 2023 to $270.07 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand for data storage and processing, rising investments in digital infrastructure, globalization, demand for colocation data centers.
The data center construction market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $364.67 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of the digital economy, expanding global data center, shift to cloud computing, growing demand for edge data centers, 5g rollout. Major trends in the forecast period include sustainability and green design, modular data centers, security and compliance, data center-as-a-service.
The increase in data usage within cloud computing is anticipated to be a significant driver for the expansion of the data center construction market in the foreseeable future. Data usage, in this context, refers to the amount of data transferred to and from devices. The growing demand for data storage and processing calls for the construction of additional data center facilities. For instance, a legal technology survey conducted by the American Bar Association in November 2022 reported a substantial increase in overall cloud data usage, rising from 60% in 2021 to 70% in 2022. Furthermore, solo cloud users increased from 52% to 84% within a year. This data underscores how the growing demand for data is a primary factor fueling the growth of the data center construction market.
The high demand for cloud services is anticipated to be a key driver for the continued growth of the data center construction market. Cloud services encompass a wide array of on-demand computing resources and applications that are delivered via the internet. With the proliferation of digital data and the increasing utilization of cloud computing, big data analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the need for data storage has risen significantly. This growing demand for cloud services is a driving force behind the construction of data centers. Providers are expanding their infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of users while ensuring top-notch performance, reliability, and security. For example, data from September 2022, as reported by the AAG IT Support Service, indicated that a global study involving 753 technical and business professionals revealed a substantial increase in cloud service usage, with 63% of respondents reporting heavy reliance on these services. This marked an increase from 59% in 2021 and 53% in 2020. Consequently, the data center construction market is expected to continue thriving due to the strong demand for cloud services.
The persistence of supply chain disruptions remains a significant impediment to the growth of the data center construction market during the forecast period. The construction of data centers relies on a multifaceted supply chain encompassing various components and materials. Any disruptions within this supply chain can result in delays and increased project costs. For example, data from March 2023, as reported by AFCOM, a professional association for IT and data center specialists, indicated that 44% of surveyed data center operators experienced outages due to their inability to procure necessary parts. Additionally, 94% of these operators had encountered at least one outage in the past two years. Consequently, the data center construction market continues to face challenges posed by disruptions in the supply chain.
Major players operating in the data center construction market are concentrating on the technological advancement of products by implementing innovations such as Universal Data Hall Design (UDHD) to improve their market share. Universal Data Hall Design (UDHD) ) is a data center design that includes typical colocation components while emphasizing flexibility and scalability. UDHD has a slab floor with perimeter cooling, making it suited for large full-hall high-performance computing (HPC) applications deployments. For instance, in August 2023, DataBank Holdings Ltd., a US-based provider of information management services, launched Universal Data Hall Design (UDHD), a new innovative approach for high-density data center construction to support high-performance computing (HPC). Universal Data Hall Design (UDHD) allows HPC by giving enterprises the flexibility to handle whatever deployment their workloads need.
