Data center construction Market Driver:

Rapid Expansion of IoT Services Drives Europe Data Center Construction Market Growth

The rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) services is a major driver for the data center construction market. The IoT has transformed data centers in recent years due to a surge in IoT devices such as lightbulbs, cellphones, and webcams. The number of IoT devices is anticipated to grow to 41.6–75.44 billion by 2025. The more the number of IoT devices, the greater the reliance on data centers to appropriately store, process, and analyze data. In addition, as more and more devices connect to the internet through IoT, they generate massive amounts of data. These include sensors in smart homes, wearables, industrial equipment, connected cars, and more. The type of data generated by these devices is becoming increasingly diverse and complex. It includes location data, environmental data, usage data, and even real-time video streams.

Further, the data center landscape is evolving due to the adoption of IoT. Analytics and processes are critical components in a company's digital transformation. Analytics and processes provide an avenue for data centers to expand their activities in terms of their operations. Their distinct digitization processes will include IoT deployment in operations, capacity building, business development, infrastructure, and system utilization. Overall, the expanding landscape of IoT services significantly drives the data center construction market. As more devices connect and generate even more data, the need for efficient and scalable data center infrastructure will only increase.

Data Center Construction Market Segmental Analysis:

The Europe data center construction market analysis has been carried out by considering the following segments: type of construction, tier standards, and industry verticals. Based on type of construction, the data center construction market is segmented into electrical construction, general construction, and mechanical construction. The electrical construction segment accounted for 46.71% of the Europe data center construction market share. A data center involves several electrical devices, including utility feeds, switchgear, generators, UPS, and PDUs, that help transmit power from a utility feed to server racks. Electrical supplies reaching the data center infrastructure need to be converted to a usable voltage level, which is done by using a transformer. In addition, utility grids are the main source of power supply to the data centers. At the same time, switchgear helps safely supply power from the transformer or utility to the data center floor. Further, generators and uninterruptible power supply deliver longer-term and temporary backup power, respectively. Power distribution units help transfer electricity or power to racks and standalone systems.
