Market Trends of Mexico Data Center Power Industry
Switched PDU is Anticipated to be Fastest-growing Segment
- Switched PDUs are important in remote deployments because they allow users to restart servers and restore service without having to physically visit the data center site. It also helps users save energy and reduce costs by enabling them to turn off devices that are not in use. In the event of a utility power failure, non-essential loads can be shut down to maximize UPS uptime.
- A switched PDU is a type of smart rack PDU that can turn on or off single outlets or groups of outlets on the PDU. Switched PDUs allow users to remotely control devices and provide power in a specific order. It also allows the user to delay the power-on sequence, which eliminates power sags and extends device life.
- The rising computation and storage needs to support high-end applications have made hyperscale data centers extremely powerful in recent years. As the number of business-critical apps rises, data centers are becoming more complicated. The mobile gaming market is expanding in Mexico. In the Mexican gaming app business, gaming companies like Big Baja Apps, Minibuu, Runo Networks, and NEGAS are assisting the industry's expansion into a billion-dollar revenue market.
- With the maximum growth of massive data centers in the country, the need for PDUs has also increased. E-commerce usage in Mexico increased significantly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. By 2025, approximately 77.9 million people are expected to shop online in Mexico, owing to advancements in connectivity, financial inclusion, efficient logistics, and digital literacy. The need for data centers in Mexico is expected to rise as a result of the requirement for more servers and racks to store the influx of data. The rising data traffic would further create a demand for DC facilities with smart PDU systems.
- Switched PDUs with outlet metering help users monitor power consumption and available capacity. Easily understand actual power consumption at the device level, allowing users to compare efficiencies, improve capacity planning, increase utilization of existing resources, and allocate costs to specific customers or business units. The above-mentioned instances and benefits of switched PDU are expected to accelerate the growth of the segment during the forecast period.

IT and Telecommunication is the Largest Segment
- About 80% of Mexican businesses use cloud-based services through private or hybrid cloud models. This is due to favorable government initiatives that have lowered entry barriers for domestic cloud providers and reduced investment risks associated with technology obsolescence and change.
- Mexican government agencies are focusing on providing cloud-based e-government services as they go digital. This will drive the population's internet usage, which, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the market. It is widely seen as the next-generation computing revolution in major vertical end-use markets such as the public sector, banking, financial services and insurance, healthcare, and retail.
- In 2018, 48% of Mexican businesses invested in cloud products and services. Of the companies that have adopted this technology, 30% have invested part of their IT budget in public clouds, and the remaining 18% have invested in private clouds. In early 2020, Microsoft announced it would build its first cloud data center in Mexico over the next five years as part of a USD 1.1 billion investment.
- Major companies providing cloud services in Mexico's cloud computing industry include Microsoft Corporation, Amazon Web Services, IBM Corporation, Accenture, Oracle Corporation, SAP SE, Google, Rackspace, Salesforce.com, and Telefonica. The purpose of these cloud service providers is to extend their service portfolio and existing delivery models, such as public and private cloud models, in order to offer comprehensive solutions to their customers.
- With the rise of the digital economy and the increasing number of Internet users in Mexico, the need for data storage and processing is increasing. The proliferation of hybrid cloud service providers has increased demand for colocation services and increased rack utilization.
