South Korea Data Center Physical Security Market Size (2024 - 2029)

South Korea Data Center Physical Security Market Analysis

The South Korea Data Center Physical Security Market size is estimated at USD 29.38 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 75.92 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 20.91% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The security measures can be categorized into computer room controls, facility controls, perimeter security, and cabinet controls. The first layer of data center security detects, delays, and discourages unauthorized personnel entry at the perimeter. Upon breach of the perimeter monitoring, the second layer of defense withholds access. It is an access control system which uses card swipes or biometrics. 
• The third layer further restricts access through diverse verification methods by monitoring all restricted areas and deploying entry restrictions such as turnstile with VCA, biometric access control devices for thumbprints, irises, or vascular patterns, and using radio frequency identification. The initial three layers ensure only authorized entry. However, additional security to restrict access is comprised of cabinet locking mechanisms. It addresses the fear of an 'insider threat,' such as a malicious employee.
• Under Construction IT Load Capacity: The upcoming IT load capacity of the South Korean data center market is expected to touch around 2,000 MW by 2029.
• Under Construction Raised Floor Space: The country's construction of raised floor area is expected to increase to 5 million sq. ft by 2029.
• Planned Racks: The country's total number of racks to be installed is expected to reach 270K units by 2029. Greater Seoul is expected to house the maximum number of racks by 2029.
• Planned Submarine Cables: There are close to 10 submarine cable systems connecting South Korea, and many are under construction. One such submarine cable that is estimated to start service in 2023 is Southeast Asia-Japan Cable 2 (SJC2), which stretches over 10,500 Kilometers with landing points from Geoje, South Korea.
