The digital infrastructure market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from$348.59 billion in 2024 to $440.51 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing investments in fiber-optic networks, a rising demand for data centers driven by cloud adoption, the growth of mobile internet penetration, the widespread deployment of 4G networks, and the growing adoption of virtualization technologies.
The digital infrastructure market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to$1,114.02 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.1%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for quantum computing infrastructure, increasing investments in software-defined infrastructure, the growing expansion of autonomous data centers, a higher demand for ultra-low-latency connectivity, and a greater reliance on decentralized cloud computing. Key trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in AI-driven autonomous data centers, the integration of edge AI computing for real-time analytics, progress in multi-access edge computing, developments in zero-trust security frameworks, and the deployment of space-based internet infrastructure.
The growing demand for automation is expected to drive the expansion of the digital infrastructure market in the coming years. Automation refers to the use of technology to perform tasks automatically, minimizing the need for human intervention and increasing efficiency and accuracy. As businesses seek to improve productivity, reduce operational costs, and enhance scalability in an increasingly competitive digital environment, the demand for automation continues to rise. Digital infrastructure supports automation by enabling seamless connectivity, data processing, and control through cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing. For example, a report published in July 2024 by Cflow, a US-based workflow automation company, revealed that the workflow automation sector was growing at a rate of 20% annually and was projected to reach $5 billion by 2024. Robotic process automation (RPA) led with a 31% adoption rate, while AI adoption stood at 18%. Thus, the increasing demand for automation is driving growth in the digital infrastructure market.
Leading companies in the digital infrastructure market are focusing on innovations such as digital orchestration platforms to improve network automation, streamline the deployment of hybrid architectures, and enhance data accessibility across various infrastructures.
