Data center support infrastructure consists of the non-computing systems that enable information technology equipment, including power supply and distribution, backup power, cooling and ventilation, physical racks and enclosures, cabling, environmental monitoring, fire detection and suppression, security systems, and control software. Its purpose is to maintain facility reliability, safety, and efficiency by delivering clean power, removing heat, protecting the site, and providing operators with continuous visibility and control to ensure IT workloads remain available.
The primary types of data center support infrastructure are power distribution systems, cooling systems, racks and enclosures, site and facility infrastructure, and security systems. Power distribution systems include the facilities and equipment that connect an electrical transmission system to end-user devices, such as substations, feeders, switches, protective devices, transformers, and service connections, which safely deliver usable voltage to loads. These systems are categorized into tier I, tier II, tier III, and tier IV levels. Data center support infrastructure serves various enterprise sizes, including large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises, and is deployed through on-premises and cloud models. It is utilized across multiple end-user industries, including cloud service providers, technology providers, telecom, healthcare, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), retail and e-commerce, entertainment and media, energy, and other sectors.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.
The data center support infrastructure market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides data center support infrastructure market statistics, including data center support infrastructure industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the data center support infrastructure market share, data center support infrastructure market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the data center support infrastructure industry. This data center support infrastructure market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The data center support infrastructure market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $55.23 billion in 2024 to $62.03 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the expansion of internet access and broadband subscriptions, rising consumption of streaming media and engagement in online gaming, growth in electronic commerce and omnichannel fulfillment, proliferation of smartphones and mobile data usage, and the surge of social media platforms along with user-generated content.
The data center support infrastructure market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $97.53 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing enforcement of data privacy and cross-border data regulations, rising electricity costs alongside incentives for energy-efficient facilities, growth in remote healthcare delivery and diagnostic imaging volumes, expansion of online education and digital examination platforms, and intensifying requirements for disaster recovery and business continuity. Key trends in the forecast period include adoption of direct-to-chip liquid cooling for high-density racks, maturation of single-phase and two-phase immersion cooling systems, deployment of high-voltage direct current power distribution in data halls, transition to sulfur hexafluoride-free medium voltage switchgear, and widespread use of lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage for uninterruptible power supply systems.
The increasing demand for cloud services is expected to drive the growth of the data center support infrastructure market going forward. Cloud services refer to a wide range of on-demand computing resources, applications, and storage solutions delivered over the internet, allowing individuals and organizations to access, manage, and process data without physical infrastructure while enabling scalability, flexibility, remote collaboration, and cost efficiency. The rising demand for cloud services is driven by growing reliance on digital transformation and remote operations. Data center support infrastructure enables cloud services by providing critical power, cooling, networking, and security systems that ensure high availability, scalability, and reliable performance for cloud-based applications. For instance, in February 2025, according to Schneider Electric, a France-based multinational specializing in digital automation and energy management, the company reported FY 2024 revenues of €38.2 billion, marking an 8% organic growth compared to the previous year. Therefore, the increasing demand for cloud services is driving the data center support infrastructure market.
Key companies operating in the data center support infrastructure market are focusing on advancements in modular and flexible infrastructure designs such as prefabricated data center modules, scalable rack systems, containerized data centers, plug-and-play power and cooling units, and adaptable network and cabling architectures. Prefabricated data center modules are pre-engineered, factory-built units that can be rapidly deployed on-site to provide scalable computing, power, and cooling infrastructure. For instance, in October 2025, Fourier Cooling, a US-based company specializing in liquid cooling infrastructure for high-performance computing and artificial intelligence data centers, launched its prefabricated data center modules. These liquid-cooled modules are designed for AI and high-performance computing workloads, supporting rack densities from 40kW to over 200kW, with cooling technologies including immersion, direct-to-chip, and fan-wall systems. The launch also featured a cold plate container integrated with a chiller system delivering up to 500kW per container, setting a new benchmark for scalable and efficient modular data center solutions.
In October 2024, Schneider Electric, a France-based energy management and industrial automation company, acquired a 75 percent controlling interest in Motivair Corporation for an all-cash consideration of approximately 850 million United States dollars. Through this acquisition, Schneider Electric aims to strengthen its leadership in data center cooling by incorporating direct-to-chip liquid cooling and high-capacity thermal solutions to manage the rapidly rising thermal loads from generative artificial intelligence and large language models, improving efficiency and sustainability across modern facilities. Motivair Corporation is a US-based provider of advanced liquid-cooling and thermal-management solutions for high-performance computing, offering coolant distribution units, rear door heat exchangers, cold plates, heat dissipation units, and chillers.
