Many of the key Data Centre Trends  identified by Datacentrepricing are universal and re-occur across all of the geographical regions. The worldwide Data Centre market is forecast to grow by 73% over the next four years.

About the Report

The report is structured in three parts with Part I analysing the Top Ten key Global Data Centre Trends impacting the Data Centre segment worldwide from the end of 2022 to the end of 2026. For each of the ten trends, Datacentrepricing provides insight. For example, Trend I shows that Data Centre Providers are now spreading their Hyperscale Data Centre facilities around the world – away from the traditional Data Centre Metro clusters – or the so-called Tier I markets typically with 200 MW or more of Data Centre Power available, a list of these selected Hyperscale Data Centres under development is provided for each region.

Datacentrepricing examines in Part II of the report the Data Centre Landscape by Data Centre raised floor space and DCCP (Data Centre Customer Power) and provides some of the key new Data Centre developments that are due to take place in each of the surveyed regions, EMEA, Asia-Pacific and Americas.

In Part III,  Datacentrepricing provides a series of forecasts for the Global Data Centre market from the end of 2022 to the end of 2026. The forecasts include the following four key metrics:

• A Global Data Centre forecast – which is Data Centre raised floor space by region from the end of 2022 to the. end of 2026 in m2

• A Global Data Centre forecast – which is DCCP by region from the end of 2022 to the end of 2026 in MW

• A Global Data Centre forecast – which is based on monthly average Data Centre rack space pricing by region from the end of 2022 to the end of 2026 in USD

• A Global Data Centre forecast – which is based on Data Centre revenues by region from the end of 2022 to the end of 2026 in millions of USD per annum
