MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

The expansion of 5G networks and edge computing adoption are key growth drivers, with over 170 million new 5G connections globally in Q3 2024. This intense growth in telecommunications infrastructure necessitates decentralized, low-latency data processing capabilities, fueling demand for modular data centers. Governments also support telecom sector investments that encourage the deployment of modular solutions near network hubs and telecom towers.

Increasing adoption of AI-driven workloads and high-performance computing significantly propels demand. The integration of prefabricated modular units with scalable capacity supports enterprises' need to manage cloud services, big data analytics, and AI applications efficiently. Data center modernization and disaster recovery requirements further create demand for flexible, cost-effective modular solutions.

Environmental concerns and regulatory mandates for energy efficiency contribute markedly to growth. Modular data centers incorporate modern cooling systems, renewable energy integration, and AI-driven energy management, reducing power consumption and carbon emissions. Stricter global carbon regulations urge operators to adopt green IT strategies, improving power usage effectiveness (PUE) and sustainability in data center operations.
