U.S. Data Center Colocation Market Outlook Report 2024-2029 Featuring Prominent Vendors and New Entrants Such as Corscale, Crane, Edged Energy, NE Edge, Quantum Loophole, Rowan Digital, and Tract - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 2, 2024--

The "U.S. Data Center Colocation Market - Industry Outlook & Forecast 2024-2029" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The U.S. Data Center Colocation Market was valued at USD 12.40 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach USD 26.95 billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 13.81%.

The U.S. data center colocation market is poised for significant growth, driven by the rapid digitalization of businesses and rising investments from colocation, cloud, Internet, and telecommunication providers. Key telecom companies such as AT&T, T-Mobile, CenturyLink, and Qualcomm are leading the deployment of 5G services and setting the stage for the gradual adoption of the 6G spectrum in the country.

Despite its growth potential, the market faces several challenges. Supply chain disruptions, increasing inflation, a skilled workforce shortage, and power constraints present ongoing obstacles. Core submarkets are further limited by land and power availability, restricting new entrants. However, emerging submarkets like Aurora and Elk Grove Village are gaining preference as alternatives.

The United States remains one of the most expensive regions for developing data center facilities, with average costs ranging from $10 to $11 million per MW and a projected annual increase of 5-7%. Texas, in particular, is a highly competitive market, with numerous colocation operators actively developing new facilities within the state.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES & TRENDS

Edge Data Centers & the Advent of the 6G Era

The U.S. is one of the fastest-growing countries in terms of technological development and innovations. The upcoming sixth-generation (6G) networks are anticipated to bring advanced networking technologies to make implementing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) easier. These improved networks will offer enhanced connectivity and capabilities, simplifying the integration of IoT into different industries and making it more accessible for businesses to utilize its benefits.

Sustainability Initiatives by Colocation Operators

Colocation companies nationwide are passionate about renewable energy and curtailing their carbon emissions as much as possible to achieve their ambitious sustainability targets.

This change is part of a larger trend in the industry to adopt renewable power sources, such as solar and wind power, to run data centers and power other associated infrastructure.

Colocation Demand Revolutionized by AI & VR

Artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) drive the U.S. data center colocation market growth. There is a need for dependable and scalable data center infrastructure as AI and VR gain traction across different industries. Colocation providers experience a significant increase in demand as businesses look for reliable hosting solutions to accommodate their AI and VR applications, ensuring top-notch performance and seamless connectivity.
