U.S. Data Center Construction Market to Reach Around $25 Billion by 2027. Around 2,825 MW Power Capacity will be Added in the Next 5 Year - Arizton

The US data center construction market by area was valued at 16.62 million sq. ft. in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.19% to reach 20.07 million sq. ft. by 2027.


Chicago, Aug. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Arizton’s latest research report, U.S. data center construction market to grow at a CAGR of around 3.5% during 2022-2027. The growing popularity of IoT, the emergence of 5G networks, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the demand for streaming online entertainment content at high speeds are the major factors driving the growth of the US data center market. The use of cloud computing services and applications will also continue to grow in the US, leading to further development of large hyperscale cloud-based data centers.

In the US, data centres run by cloud service providers store and process data generated around the world. However, the implementation of data localization across other counties has not affected the US market to date and continues to experience strong growth YoY. Also, the market is witnessing a considerable surge in the development of self-built hyperscale data center facilities. For example, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft are rapidly expanding their presence in the US with the development of additional data centers.

The increase in data center development has led to a higher procurement of renewable energy. Several data center operators, such as Equinix, Digital Realty, Amazon, Google, Apple, and Microsoft, are strongly committed to investing in renewable energy procurement. For instance, in November 2021, Microsoft signed a renewable energy deal with The AES Corporation to power its Virginia data centers. Facebook signed a 160 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments (DESRI) to power its Virginia data centers. Further, AWS signed a 474 MW PPA with TotalEnergies in July 2021.

Rise in Data Center Expansion Initiatives

Leading data center service providers are investing heavily in new construction and expansions, which has resulted in a significant increase in the number of data centers being built in the US. Acquisitions and joint ventures make it possible for new competitors to enter the market, draw in clients, and increase their market share. The US data center market also encourages real estate and investment companies to buy data centers. Such acquisitions are usually followed by expansion initiatives, leading to stronger market growth. Most investments will be focused on the edge data center market, with unexpected demand from current and new clients in data centers.

Increasing Availability of Innovative UPS Battery Technologies

Data center operators are trying to increase the efficiency of their facilities and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This is especially true in the case of hyperscale and colocation operators that are required to handle significant amounts of data and provide superior performance. The type of UPS systems adopted has emerged as a key consideration for these vendors to minimize costs and optimize the performance of their data center facilities. VRLA-based UPS systems have been adopted by most data center operators due to benefits such as a lower CAPEX. However, owing to limitations such as a limited lifespan and higher OPEX of VRLA-based UPS systems, multiple UPS-based innovations have been introduced in the market.

Key Highlights

  • In 2021, more than 100 data center projects were launched or were under construction in the US. Over 90% of data center projects are developed by colocation service providers and hyperscale operators such as Facebook, Apple, Google, and Microsoft. The rest are enterprise data centers.
  • Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) technologies are rising among data center operators in the US. For instance, Microsoft, Google, and Facebook are developing more efficient software-defined power systems across their data centers in the US.
  • Increased adoption of renewable energy is witnessed among data center operators. For instance, QTS Realty Trust announced that its data center facility in Richmond, Virginia, was using a mix of solar, wind, and hydroelectricity as renewable energies to power the data center
  • To attract data center investment, many state and local governments offer investment and sales tax incentives. For instance, North Carolina offers incentives for data center operators that invest a minimum of around $250 million for Internet data centers and $150 to $225 million for enterprise data centers spread over five years.
