The survey results from the report Green Data Center Market Revenue and Forecast (2016-2020) are encouraging for investment, as this market is estimated to see healthy growth over the forecast period.
Green data centers are snowballing, with a projected growth rate of over 9% in 2021. The global green data center market is expected to reach $140.2 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR)
Increasing demand for green data centers is one of the primary drivers of the green data center market. Major companies focus on developing sustainable data centers to reduce their carbon footprint and cut operational costs
Green Data Center Market Revenue is Growing
The main reason for this growth is organizations’ growing environmental concerns about the excessive use of electricity and other resources in conventional data centers
The cloud computing trend has also increased the demand for sustainable data centers, which require large amounts of power for their operations. Cloud computing helps businesses store their backup data in the cloud instead of locally or on-site, reducing their dependency on electricity and improving overall efficiency
The adoption of energy-efficient technologies such as virtualization, server virtualization, and cloud computing is expected to propel the demand for green data center solutions
Additionally, the rising penetration of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power is expected to increase the usage of renewable energy in data centers
Emerging Country in Asia has Biggest Attraction to Data Center Investor
Indonesia is the emerging country with the most prominent attraction to data center investors. With the rise of digitalization, Indonesia has become the prime destination for investors to invest in. The potential growth of this country is very high, which is why many companies want to invest in this country
The government also offers tax incentives and other benefits so investors can come here and do business. The infrastructure in Indonesia is also excellent, which makes it easier for people to come here and do business
The digital sector has also been growing because of its low cost of entry into the market compared to other countries like Japan or China, where there are strict regulations on foreign investment. Indonesia does not have any such regulation and thus allows foreign investors to quickly enter its market without restrictions
More of that, the Indonesian government makes it easy to build a Green Data Center. Such as supporting the supply of natural gas for power plants in data center facilities which can reduce carbon emissions by up to 50%
In addition, the Government of Indonesia also provides a 50% tax discount for investments in green data centers for five years since operating
Indonesia Digital Market Trend Shows it’s Time to Build Green Data Center
Indonesia has an emerging economy and a population of over 260 million (in 2022). It is the fourth most populous country in the world. Indonesia’s economy is growing at a rate of 5% annually
The country has a young population, and its internet penetration rate is increasing quickly. The government has been working hard to make the country digital-friendly by adopting policies such as making internet access affordable, building infrastructure, and creating awareness about the benefits of the internet among people
We can see that the digital market in Indonesia has been growing rapidly in recent years due to the massive increase in mobile internet users, which amounted to more than 200 million users in 2022
In addition, many online businesses, including e-commerce sites, have emerged in recent years providing various services such as booking flights or hotels online or selling products through their websites or apps
Indonesia’s digital market has been growing rapidly due to its large population. Many people are always connected to the internet, making it easier to access information from anywhere
Indonesia’s digital market will grow from USD 12 billion in 2018 to USD 26 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 19%. The fast-growing e-commerce sector is driving the growth of this market
It is Time for Venture Captials to Decide
With the rapid adoption of green data center technologies and services, the global green data center market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.6% from 2021 to 2026. According to a new Grand View Research, Inc. report, the market may reach $140.2 billion by 2026
The increasing use of renewable energy sources, rising demand for sustainable IT services, a growing number of data center operators, and rising awareness about the benefits of green data centers are some significant factors expected to fuel market growth over the next eight years. However, a lack of understanding regarding these technologies will likely hamper market growth during the forecast period
The need for optimized utilization of power sources and improved uptime has driven green data center adoption among North American enterprises. More enterprises are likely to shift towards implementing green IT solutions to reduce their carbon footprint and improve their overall efficiency with an increased awareness of the benefits of these technologies
It is time for investors to decide which companies are best positioned to gain from this trend
Conclusion
The global data center market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 9.71% during the forecast period, which runs from 2020 to 2026. The total market size is expected to reach $140.2 billion by 2026 from $49.2 billion in 2020. (Source: Green data center market size 2026 | Statista)
