Market Trends of France Data Center Physical Security Industry
Video Surveillance is Anticipated to be the Largest Segment
- The rising demand for the video surveillance market in Taiwan has been driven by several factors, including increased construction activity, expected new data centers, and rising digitization rates.
- Access control systems are more than a core area. Smaller rooms may also be included. Certain intelligent modules can connect to I/O devices to generate alerts, such as if the rack door is left open. At the same time, a discreet camera helps you get an overview. This prevents unauthorized persons from opening the door at unusual times.
- Physical security breaches contribute to the growth in the video surveillance segment in French data centers.
- Further, the growth in the development of new data centers in Taiwan would trigger market demand. For instance, in May 2023, Data4 Group, a leading French company in data center operations and investments in Europe, announced the construction of a new data center campus at the Nokia site in Nozé, in the Essonne region of France. The project, which would involve an investment of approximately EUR 1 billion by 2030, aims to revitalize 22 hectares of industrial and office space and underline the group's strong presence in Paris.
IT & Telecommunication is Anticipated to be the Fastest Growing Segment
- France's increasing focus on digital technology, AI, cybersecurity, robotics, and medical IT drives the industry significantly forward. Additionally, the growing need for digital technologies and initiatives, digitization, scalable IT infrastructure, 5G network penetration, and increasing penetration of technology giants are driving the market growth significantly.
- New technologies like artificial intelligence, big data, and blockchain drive the rising cloud adoption across most businesses. Scalable and strong cloud networks are being developed with the help of hyperscale data centers, which can enhance customer satisfaction, increase availability, and cut costs.
- Regional cloud infrastructure providers such as Equinix, OVHcloud, and Dassault Systèmes have partnered with international hyper scalers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure to bring French cloud infrastructure to improve and enable a resilient future. Europe-based global service providers such as Capgemini, Orange, Atos, and Soplasteria also invest in similar partnerships.
- According to the Future Plan for 5G and Telecommunications presented by the Cabinet in July 2021, France planned to invest approximately EUR 1.7 billion in the 5G industry through public and private investments by 2025. The aim is to accelerate the development of 5G, especially new use cases, drive adoption, and strengthen the technology's impact on other industries.
- Tier 4 data centers are also expected to grow significantly over the next few years. This is because more and more companies are offering cloud-based services, and with that, more and more companies are building facilities that offer colocation spaces with the best technology.
