Hong Kong Data Center Networking Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Hong Kong Data Center Networking Market Analysis

The Hong Kong Data Center Networking Market size is estimated at USD 332.38 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 470.99 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.22% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The increasing demand for cloud computing among SMEs, government regulations for local data security, and growing investment by domestic players are some of the major factors driving the demand for data centers in the country.

• Under Construction IT Load Capacity: The upcoming IT load capacity of the Hong Kong data center market is expected to reach 1700 MW by 2029.
• Under Construction Raised Floor Space: The country's construction of raised floor area is expected to increase to 6 million sq. ft by 2029.
• Planned Racks: The country's total number of racks to be installed is expected to reach 230K units by 2029. NCR Ho Chi Minh City is expected to house the maximum number of racks by 2029.
• Planned Submarine Cables: There are close to 2 submarine cable systems connecting Hong Kong, and we expect a few cables to come in the near future. One such submarine cable that is estimated to start service in 2025 is Asia Cable Link ALC, which stretches over 6,000 Kilometers with landing points from Hong Kong SAR, Mainland China.
• In view of its commitment to reach a carbon dioxide peak by 2030 and be carbon neutral by 2060, Hong Kong is placing energy consumption control at the top of its priorities. Its ongoing “dual control” energy consumption policy is a regulatory effort aiming to control high energy consumption and limit high-emission projects.
• In support of the above policy and to reduce energy consumption, key market players are focusing on transforming DC facilities with efficient power management systems, which is expected to increase market growth.

Hong Kong Data Center Networking Industry Segmentation

Data center networking refers to the set of technologies, protocols, and hardware used to connect physical and network-based devices and manage the network infrastructure, storage, and processing of applications and data. Data center networking is very critical for 100% uptime of data centers. In the current web-connected world, business workloads are executed on single computers, hence leading to the need for data center networking. Networks provide servers, clients, applications, and middleware with a standard plan to stage the execution of workloads and also to manage access to the data produced.

The Hong Kong Data center networking market is segmented by component type (product (Ethernet switches, routers, storage area network (SAN), application delivery controller (ADC), and other networking equipment), services (installation & integration, training & consulting, and support & maintenance)), and by end-user (IT & telecommunication, BFSI, government, and media & entertainment, and other end-user). The market sizes and forecasts are provided in terms of value (USD) for all the above segments.
