A raised floor is a structural floor raised above a concrete slab, consisting of multiple panels supported by adjustable pedestals. A raised floor system finds applications in computer rooms, open office areas, training and conference areas, exhibit spaces, and clean rooms. It is unsuitable for slab-on-grade locations, wet areas such as toilets and kitchens, laboratories, and mechanical equipment rooms. A raised floor system provides a high thermal mass base material for radiant heat systems, improves multistorey buildings' lateral resistance and durability, reduces construction costs in high seismic regions, and is waterproofed. The existence of key players such as Kingspan Group, CBI Europe, MERO-TSK International, and others.

Raised Floor Market Analysis

A growing number of data centers and new construction projects are the key drivers of the raised floor market. The market for raised floors is also growing due to the increasing demand for raised floor systems in several applications, including data centers, clean rooms, and office spaces. Further, the development of hyperscale data centers and the emergence of next-gen raising floor systems are likely to emerge as a trend in the raised floor market during the forecast period.

In addition, the demand for hyperscale data centers is driving the growth of colocation data centers, which provide facilities for multiple clients to host their IT infrastructure. The increasing demand for data-driven monitoring and failure prevention systems has led to the utilization of machine learning for better data analysis. Modern automation platforms can handle most server operations, from component inventory and registration to instant hardware replacement in the event of malfunctions. The emergence of 5G is likely to enable advances in AR, VR, and AI solutions for businesses and individuals. As the nature of data and edge computing evolves, there will be a growing need to collocate data closer to the data source, which is expected to increase the construction of smaller data centers.

Raised Floor Market Overview

A raised floor is widely used in hyperscale data centers in order to facilitate the support and offer sustainability. Hyperscale data centers are massive business-critical facilities designed to efficiently support robust and scalable applications, which are often associated with large data-producing companies such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, IBM, and Microsoft. These hyperscale data centers can be built using raised floor designs, and these raised floors are used in hyperscale data centers because of their perforated tiles and elevated design, which allows for efficient cooling and cable management. As of 2021, there are more than 600 hyperscale data centers across the globe. The five largest hyperscale data centers are the Inner Mongolian Information Hub, Hohhot Data Centre, Citadel Campus, Range International Information Hub, and Switch SuperNAP.

Raised Floor Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Number of Data Centers

The augmentation of social media and rising digitization, remote work adoption, OTT services, IoT and data analytics demand, and digital technologies utilization are propelling the demand for data centers across the world to store the collected information. The US (2,701), Canada (328), China (443), Germany (487), and the UK (456) are among the topmost countries with the largest data center numbers. Data center services include cloud and hosting, infrastructure, consulting, virtualization, and networks. An inclination toward cloud services for enterprises has benefited leading data center players such as Google Cloud, AWS (Amazon), and Microsoft Azure. Additionally, in the last few years, expenditure on data centers has been growing.

The raised floors are used to fulfill the need to route mechanical services, cables, electrical supply, and wiring. Unitile has a portfolio addressing raised floor-related requirements from Tata Communications, netmagic, Nxtra Data, HCL, STTelemedia Global Data Centers, and Accenture. Polygroup is another company doing projects for providing raised floors for data centers and office buildings. The company has projects in Accra (Ghana), KPMG office buildings (Panama), and Nativa (Panama) for providing raised floors for data centers. Similarly, The Access Flooring Company has projects in Foster Land London. Following are a few construction projects contributing to the demand for raised floors: (CAT A Fit out bare raised floor system), 111 Cannon St London 32. Such projects contribute towards the rise of the raised floor market.

• In March 2023, in the US, Grimshaw Architects announced that it is seeking ahead to transform a parking lot in Chinatown into a creative hub. 130 West College Street is expected to be an office building with large spans of glass open to a public-facing outdoor deck space.

Development of Hyperscale Data Centers is Expected to Create Ample Opportunity for Market Growth

A hyperscale data centre is a mission-critical facility supporting scalable and robust workloads. Since Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft Corporation, and other large companies require enormous data processing and storage, they prefer hyperscale data centres. In the last few years, data centres have undergone significant evolution and changes. Earlier, large enterprises only could afford resources, IT teams, and space needed by the data centres. However, with changing industrial dynamics, data centres are taking various forms, such as collocated, cloud, edge, and hosted would propel the development of hyperscale data centres in the coming years. A rise in the number of cloud computing services, such as software as a Service (SaaS) and mission-critical workload applications, bolsters the requirement for complex data centres. Owing to rising mission-critical applications, the scope of hyperscale data centres will grow in the coming years.
