Data Center Power Market Expected to Reach $24 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Data Center Power Market," The data center power market size was valued at $11.2 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $24 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8% from 2022 to 2031.

Data center has caused technology and services to grow at an unbelievable rate in the industry. Technologies such as cloud computing demand a lot of processing power, but they have advantages such as improved scalability, efficiency, and flexibility of business operations. As a result, many medium-sized businesses now use effective data centers, such as cloud web hosting and colocation data centers. Additionally, since data centers are used more frequently, mega and cloud data centers are being adopted more frequently. Due to their peak power needs for data-intensive operations, these data centers have a high demand for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and power distribution units (PDUs). Power management products assist in distributing power from the utility grid to data center racks and supply power during power outages. The data center's size, the number of servers, the air-control techniques used, and the number of other connected equipment all have a big impact on how much power it requires. Additionally, even if the workloads in data centers have grown more quickly, tight measures for improving power efficiency have been adopted to keep up with the growth in power demand in data centers.

The high initial investment needed in the data center power market is a significant barrier for businesses. It is necessary to switch from outdated to modern data center components in order to implement modern power systems in data centers. This shit needs infrastructure upgrades, the installation of new hardware and software, and labor. High initial investment is necessary for this transition process. Due to this requirement, the majority of businesses, including SMEs with limited capital, frequently cannot update their data center.  

Data center owners strive to reduce operational costs by maximizing savings. The cost of servers, racks, and Heating Ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)  systems in data centers, as well as power rates, all rise along with operational costs. According to the U.S. Chamber of Technology Engagement Center (CTEC), an average large data center's annual operating costs equal 8.6 percent of capital expenditures. Power expenses can make up anywhere between 40% and 80% of the total cost of running data centers, depending on the energy sources, regions, and data center tiers used. The reliability level is correlated with a rise in infrastructure costs and operational complexity in data centers. Most of the money that data centers spend goes on power. Data centers are provided with dependable and sustainable power systems by vendors offering data center power solutions. These suppliers provide more affordable installation and infrastructure costs, lower energy losses, and long-term energy storage solutions without the need for battery replacement. These advantages are anticipated to accelerate the global data center power market's expansion.
