Market Trends of austria data center Industry
Rise in the urban population and 5G access is boosting the market demand
- The total number of smartphone users in the country was 7.8 million in 2022, and it is expected to witness a CAGR of 1.2% during the forecast period to reach 8.4 million users by 2029.
- Smartphone users are rising due to the growing demand for mobile internet services and applications and the real-time need for information exchange. Consumer behavior has been impacted by the quick adoption of the Internet and smartphone technology in a variety of businesses. For instance, from 2016 to 2021, the purchasing power per person in Austria increased from 53,346 thousand to 54,121 thousand. As a result, more people were able to purchase smartphones, increasing the number of smartphone users.
- The rise in the urban population increased consumer awareness regarding the usage of mobile devices. This, combined with the surging integration of AR technology, cashless payments, and expanding over-the-top (OTT) platform subscriptions, is expected to drive smartphone users in the future. Austria's urban population for 2021 was 5.2 million, a 0.86% increase from 2020. The urban population was 58.3% in 2018 and rose to 59.3% in 2022. Users in Austria see a better 5G experience in urban areas, with an average download speed of 162.3 Mbps. The abovementioned instances suggest the rising use of smartphones in Austria, which results in a constant increase in data. This necessitates a growing amount of storage space to accommodate the uncontrollable flow of data and the need for real-time processing and analysis. Data centers must manage the sheer amount of data. Thus, the requirement for extra racks in data centers in Austria may increase as the number of smartphone users rises.
