The data center substation market size is projected to reach US$ 18.47 billion by 2031 from US$ 11.38 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.2% during 2023–2031. The growth in data centers worldwide and the need for efficient, smooth, and reliable power supply to the data center are likely to remain key trends in the market.
The growing number of data centers worldwide is driving the need for efficient power supply, which further fosters the data center substation market. Companies expanding their businesses across the world are launching their data center or going for colocation services further drives the need for data centers. The growing data is generating the need for storage where it can be processed and analyzed, further fostering the need for data centers. Thus, the mounting need for the data center is fueling the data center substation market for the efficient power supply during the building and working of the data center.
A data center substation is a facility that plays a vital role in the power grid that transfers energy from production to consumption. The substation helps to protect the equipment from faults or short circuits and avoid damage to the power lines and equipment. Data center providers contact the utility provider to construct a substation on their campus or to build one and deliver it to the data center.
The data is generated at a faster pace. The rise in internet penetration has fuelled the generation of data. Businesses all over the world are relying on data-driven strategic planning for efficient business growth. In addition, IoT generates a huge number of data that needs to be processed, stored and analyzed in real-time. The deployment of 5G is expected to significantly increase the volume of data traffic, as 5G offers much higher data and lower latency than the 4G and other networks. According to the Cisco reports, 5G will support more than 10% of the world's mobile connections by 2023, with an average speed of 575 Mbps. That's 13 times faster than the average mobile connection today. Due to increased data traffic, businesses and enterprises will seek a location to store, process and distribute their data more efficiently and reliably, contributing to the need for data center providers. Thus, to manage the power grid of a data center effectively, the demand for data center substations is growing.
The governments in various countries are closely monitoring the building of data centers and ensuring sustainability while developing and working on data centers. The government is focused on reducing its carbon footprint and handling the concerns arising from the energy-intensive facilities. Therefore, the market players are focused on building smart data center substation solutions to promote the data center industry effectively. For example, ABB provides smart data center substations to reduce the carbon and real estate footprint of these facilities. By using smart modular components, the company was able to reduce the quantity of copper control cables by over 50%. Thus, such building of smart solutions will foster the data center industry and generate the demand for an efficient data center substation market.
