Market Trends of North America Data Center Rack Industry
IT and Telecom to have significant market share
- Among end-user industries, the cloud segment held the largest market share, while manufacturing witnessed the fastest growth over the study period. However, the manufacturing sector is projected to record a CAGR of 13.13% and reach a capacity of 2,169.4 MW by 2029.
- Several businesses of all kinds are switching from conventional to digital ways of operation. Because of advantages like low total cost of ownership (TCO) and high security, flexibility, and agility, this change generates a hybrid cloud industry. About 89% of IT leaders in North America want to migrate business-critical workloads to the cloud, with increasing emphasis on digitalization. Such developments are expected to boost the demand for proper data storage and processing, leading to an increase in the number of racks in North American data centers.
- North American manufacturers are eager to incorporate IoT technology into their processes in line with their early adoption of popular technologies like big data, DevOps, mobility, and IoT. The rise of IoT in the North American manufacturing industry has also been supported by an increase in SMEs and more digitalization in manufacturing by major corporations like IBM and General Electric.
- Big data analytics are utilized by 55% of North American businesses to increase their operational effectiveness. In 2019, according to BDO, 84% of US manufacturers stated plans to boost their investments in factory connections over the next two years at a rate of 3-5% of their sales, thus demonstrating their use of the current and future Industry 4.0 opportunities. The increasing use of data centers for equipping industrial processes is likely to increase the number of data centers in North America.
