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.

Data center colocation service companies have benefited from the increasing need for equipment, space and bandwidth to be rented to store servers. Over the past five years, these providers have experienced strong revenue growth as digitalization and AI continue to take hold, directly contributing to colocation services' demand. Companies that have digitized their operations now ask for bandwidth-intensive services, which ultimately require more data storage. COVID-19 accelerated this trend, with many businesses shifting to remote work and introducing new digital platforms. Over the past five years, revenue has risen at a CAGR of 4.3% to an estimated $17.1 billion, including an expected boost of 3.0% in 2025 alone. Despite rising wage and energy costs, however, industry profit has remained steady during the current period, only slightly fluctuating. With significant investments allocated to AI data center construction during the current period, providers are expanding their presence and have captured demand for third-party IT infrastructure management. As these trends have unfolded, companies within the industry are adjusting to technological innovation, shifting demand conditions and rising operating costs. Meanwhile, cyberattacks continue to threaten the reputation of many colocation providers, leading to significant defense investment. As the capacity requirements for data storage have increased, so has competition from technology conglomerates that use in-house operations to store servers. Still, demand for outsourced colocation services has grown during the period. Revenue is expected to continue rising over the next five years, albeit at a slightly slower pace. Stable growth in corporate profit and initiatives to enhance digital platforms will likely support revenue growth as companies can afford more data storage, increasing the need for colocation services. However, intensifying competition is expected to temper revenue growth as declines in the price of computers and peripheral equipment encourage companies to store data in-house. While government support will lead to expedited permitting and investments, support for data centers will continue to vary state to state as advanced AI facilities consume more power moving foward. Overall, revenue is anticipated to climb at a CAGR of 3.3% to an estimated $20.0 billion over the next five years.
