Global Data Centre Market Report 2025
Introduction
The global data centre sector is on an upward trajectory — fuelled by the surging need for digital infrastructure to support cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and cutting-edge technologies such as 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Estimates place the market size up to USD 347.60 billion in 2024, and an anticipated growth rate at a Compounded Average Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.2% from 2025 to 2030.
With national governments now viewing data centres as critical infrastructure, exponential growth in demand from both investors and operators creates opportunities and challenges alike.
Power constraints, limited land availability, labour shortages, and supply chain disruptions for critical components are all contributing factors that hamper keeping up with demand and extend lead times for construction.
However, the sector continues to adapt via sustainability initiatives such as wastewater recycling — helping to create more efficient cooling systems and better protecting resources vital to local communities and generating jobs.
The regional overviews in this report demonstrate varying growth rates across different markets, but also similar emerging trends that are helping supply chains become more responsive to demand.
