The Data Colocation Market is projected to grow from USD 52.14 billion in 2024 to USD 126.39 billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.70% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Additionally, the market size for Data Colocation was valued at USD 45.95 billion in 2023.
Rising requirements for reliability, security, and scalability of infrastructure, rising concerns of several industries and enterprises regarding IT infrastructure budget, rising data center complexities, increasing costs involved in owning a large infrastructure facility, and rising demand for hybrid cloud and virtualization technologies are the key market drivers enhancing the market growth.
Market CAGR for data colocation is driven by the growth of immersive techniques like augmented reality, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and 5G technology, which has further contributed to the need for delivering larger bandwidths for data transfer across institutions. The continuous usage of several disruptive technologies, including IoT, autonomous cars, cloud computing, and sophisticated robotics, is a factor driving the increasing demand for colocation in data centers.
Additionally, the increasing adoption of cloud data centers, due to decreased costs, is anticipated to fuel market growth. SMEs are increasingly embracing cloud services due to eliminating the requirement for IT staff, scalable low costs, and having lesser overheads. Several prominent companies in the market have been growing different strategic initiatives, including partnerships, acquisitions, and mergers, among others, to get adequate traction in the market. For instance, in May 2022, Cyxtera revealed its colocation solution delivery in India, performed by a strategic collaboration with Sify Technologies Ltd. As a part of this collaboration, Sify Technologies Ltd. will resell Cyxtera's solutions to more than 10,000 consumers.
The requirement for high-capacity networks has increased with the improvement in edge-computing applications. Businesses are also moving toward the cloud, which formed the demand for seamless data transfers and more immediate data processing. These solutions deliver a step towards cloud migration, which allows market growth. However, certain cons, which contain being a shared facility and requiring more control over the location, promotions, and servicing control by the firm, may hinder growth. On the other hand, adequate connectivity, redundant power supply, improved network security, and bursting capability outweigh the cons of data center colocation, room for growth, drawing businesses and revving the data colocation market revenue.
Moreover, setting up a unique data center facility needs a large amount of initial investment and improves the overall CAPEX of the companies. Thus, companies are increasingly becoming considerate of the CAPEX expended on commissioning mission-critical data center talents and are looking for ways to decrease cost and enhance Return on Investment (ROI). This force to cut IT expenditure is a significant catalyst that enables enterprises to analyze new IT infrastructure options. Thus, enterprises are increasingly switching to data center colocation providers for power, bandwidth, space, and Value-Added Services (VAS), such as internet solutions, interconnection services, and skilled managed IT services based on their size and need.
The global data colocation market segmentation, based on service type, includes small-scale and large-scale. The large-scale segment dominated the market, accounting for 35% of market revenue (78.48 Billion). Major cloud service delivers have been moving towards colocation, aimed at targeting large enterprises, due to their broader customer base, which would develop a large volume of data and the requirement for large commercial space for keeping the servers. However, small scale is the fastest-growing category as it enables businesses to rent smaller spaces within a data center, which permits businesses to manage smaller volumes of data and needs limited infrastructure.
The global data colocation market segmentation, based on components, includes network hardware, server & storage, cooling units, and others. The server & storage category generated the most income due to the increasing adoption of cutting-edge and cloud connectivity. However, network hardware is the fastest-growing category due to the high demand for the growing government regulatory, compliance, and security requirements.
The global data colocation market segmentation, based on end-user, includes BFSI, healthcare, government & defense, IT & telecom, and others. The healthcare category generated the most income (70.4) as healthcare organizations are moving from legacy infrastructure to off-premises, more suitable network uptime with the redundancy of colocation service providers, decreased operational costs and adequate resource allocation. However, on-premises is the fastest-growing category due to numerous strategic endeavors undertaken by major companies aimed at improving the telecom and data center colocation ecosystem.
