As of March 2025, there were a reported 5,426 data centers in the United States, the most of any country worldwide. A further 529 were located in Germany, while 523 were located in the United Kingdom. What is a data center? A data center is a network of computing and storage resources that enables the delivery of shared software applications and data. These facilities can house large amounts of critical and important data, and therefore are vital to the daily functions of companies and consumers alike. As a result, whether it is a cloud, colocation, or managed service, data center real estate will have increasing importance worldwide. Hyperscale data centers In the past, data centers were highly controlled physical infrastructures, but the cloud has since changed that model. A cloud data service is a remote version of a data center – located somewhere away from a company's physical premises. Cloud IT infrastructure spending has grown and is forecast to rise further in the coming years. The evolution of technology, along with the rapid growth in demand for data across the globe, is largely driven by the leading hyperscale data center providers.

In 2023, the Data Center Market reached a value of USD 214.0 billion, and it is projected to surge to USD 406.6 billion by 2030.

The United States is experiencing a surge in data center construction, with the power supply under construction reaching *** gigawatts in 2024. This marks a *** percent increase from previous years, reflecting the growing demand for data storage and processing capabilities across the country. The rapid expansion of data centers underscores their crucial role in supporting the digital infrastructure that powers businesses and consumers alike. Northern Virginia leads the charge Northern Virginia has emerged as the epicenter of data center growth in the United States. In 2023, the region boasted the highest existing data center power capacity, solidifying its position as the market with the largest data center inventory in the country. Furthermore, Northern Virginia continues to dominate new construction efforts, with data centers under construction in the second half of 2024 set to add a staggering *** gigawatts of power capacity. This far outpaces other major markets such as Dallas, Austin, and NYC-NJ combined. Cloud infrastructure fuels growth The expansion of data centers is closely tied to the increasing adoption of cloud infrastructure services. Enterprise spending on cloud infrastructure services has soared in the past decade, fueled by organizations' growing demand for modern networking, storage, and database solutions. As companies continue to migrate their operations to the cloud, the need for robust data center facilities is expected to rise, further propelling the construction boom.

Worldwide spending on data center systems is projected to reach over, 405 billion U.S. dollars in 2025, marking a significant 23 percent increase from 2024. This growth reflects the ongoing digital transformation across industries and the increasing demand for advanced computing capabilities. The surge in data center investments is closely tied to the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence technologies, particularly with the wake of generative AI. AI chips fuel market growth The rise in data center spending aligns with the booming AI chip market, which is expected to reach 92 billion U.S. dollars by 2025. Nvidia has emerged as a leader in this space, with its data center revenue skyrocketing due to the crucial role its GPUs play in training and running large language models like ChatGPT. The global GPU market, valued at 65 billion U.S. dollars in 2024, is a key driver of this growth, powering advancements in machine learning and deep learning applications. Semiconductor industry adapts to AI demands The broader semiconductor industry is also evolving to meet the demands of AI technologies. With global semiconductor revenues surpassing 526 billion U.S. dollars in 2023, the market is expected to approach 611 billion U.S. dollars in 2024. AI chips are becoming increasingly prevalent in servers, data centers and storage infrastructures. This trend is reflected in the data centers and storage semiconductor market, which is projected to grow from 78 billion U.S. dollars in 2023 to 136 billion U.S. dollars by 2025, driven by the development of image sensors and edge AI processors.

The global data center market is set to reach a value of US$ 125.7 billion in 2024 and expand swiftly at a CAGR of 12% to end up at US$ 390.4 billion by the year 2034.

Responding to a 2024 survey, data center owners and operators reported an average annual power usage effectiveness (PUE) ratio of 1.56 at their largest data center. PUE is calculated by dividing the total power supplied to a facility by the power used to run IT equipment within the facility. A lower figure therefore indicates greater efficiency, as a smaller share of total power is being used to run secondary functions such as cooling.
