The total amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed globally is forecast to increase rapidly. While it was estimated at ***** zettabytes in 2025, the forecast for 2029 stands at ***** zettabytes. Thus, global data generation will triple between 2025 and 2029. Data creation has been expanding continuously over the past decade. In 2020, the growth was higher than previously expected, caused by the increased demand due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as more people worked and learned from home and used home entertainment options more often.

As of October 2025, 6.04 billion individuals worldwide were internet users, which amounted to 73.2 percent of the global population.

As of November 2025, there were a reported 4,165 data centers in the United States, the most of any country worldwide. A further 499 were located in the United Kingdom, while 487 were located in Germany. What is a data center? Data centers are facilities designed to store and compute vast amounts of data efficiently and securely. Growing in importance amid the rise of cloud computing and artificial intelligence, data centers form the core infrastructure powering global digital transformation. Modern data centers consist of critical computing hardware such as servers, storage systems, and networking equipment organized into racks, alongside specialized secondary infrastructure providing power, cooling, and security. AI data centers Data centers are vital for artificial intelligence, with the world’s leading technology companies investing vast sums in new facilities across the globe. Purpose-built AI data centers provide the immense computing power required to train the most advanced AI models, as well as to process user requests in real time, a task known as inference. Increasing attention has therefore turned to the location of these powerful facilities, as governments grow more concerned with AI sovereignty. At the same time, rapid data center expansion has sparked a global debate over resource use, including land, energy, and water, as modern facilities begin to strain local infrastructure.
