Global Data Center General Construction Market to Reach $31.2 Billion by 2030, Driven by Hyperscale and Edge Computing Demand, Sustainable Technologies, and Digital Transformation

The global data center general construction market was valued at US$19.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$31.2 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6% over the forecast period. This growth is driven by rising demand for digital infrastructure, fueled by cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the expansion of artificial intelligence. The market is being reshaped by the increasing deployment of hyperscale data centers—large, centralized facilities that support massive computing workloads—and edge data centers, which are smaller, decentralized units located closer to end-users. These edge facilities are essential for low-latency applications such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and real-time analytics, creating new construction opportunities in diverse geographic locations. Technological innovation is playing a key role in advancing data center construction. Modular and prefabricated building techniques are enabling faster, more efficient construction with reduced on-site labor and lower costs. Building Information Modeling (BIM) software is improving project planning, coordination, and execution, minimizing errors and enhancing overall efficiency. Sustainability has become a top priority. Data centers are among the most energy-intensive facilities, prompting the adoption of energy-efficient materials, advanced cooling systems, and renewable energy integration such as solar and wind power. These measures help reduce environmental impact and operational costs while meeting regulatory and corporate ESG goals. Security and resilience remain critical. Data centers must be built to withstand natural disasters, power failures, and cyber threats. This requires robust structural design, redundant power and cooling systems, and secure physical and digital access controls. The growing complexity of IT infrastructure also demands flexible and scalable construction solutions that can adapt to future technological changes without major overhauls. This has led to greater collaboration between construction firms and technology providers to design future-ready facilities.
