Data Center Rack Market Growth Dynamics
The 43U to 52U rack height segment to hold the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Due to rising space constraints across organizations, rack sizes have increased to accommodate a greater number of racks. The adoption of 48U racks is expected to drive the growth of this section. 45U racks are also expected to contribute to the growth of this segment significantly. 47U racks are compatible with most of the server brands. These taller racks provide the flexibility to house both tower and 19 inch rack-mount servers in the same unit. The taller racks provide better ventilation and extra space for cable management.
The small and mid-sized data centers segment to grow at higher CAGR during the forecast period
Data centers with only 20,000 square feet and below of computing space are considered under this segment. These data centers usually hold anywhere between 1 to 800 racks. Small and mid-sized data centers are driven by the need to make optimum use of their existing data center space. Organizations are shifting to high-density data centers that can serve higher data loads by packing multiple servers in a constrained space. However, high-density facilities need specialized enclosures to support their additional cooling needs. The need for specialized rack enclosures is expected to drive the adoption of data center rack solutions in small and mid-sized data centers.
The Consumer and Retail vertical to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period
The retail sector is characterized using large data center facilities. It has emerged as a data-intensive sector due to the evolving need for maintaining customers’ personal, financial, and stock data. This sector has witnessed a surge in the number of data centers, which has led to increasing demand for efficient data centers. With the advent of online shopping, retailers are adopting more innovative technologies, such as cloud computing, big data analytics, digital stores, and social networks to serve their customers better. Major retailers, such as Amazon and Alibaba, are increasingly deploying hyperscale data centers to support huge data demands. Such a surge in hyperscale data centers is expected to further drive the demand for data center racks. Retailers also adopt colocation services to move their data to remote locations and focus on increasing customer demands.

COVID -19 Impact
Affecting organizations of all sizes, in every industry, COVID-19 has impacted business continuity across entire economies. To negate the change and challenges, optimising effective and efficient services while parallelly accommodating new demands becomes a data center strategic and operational imperative. There are two key drivers catalysing the massive increase in demand. The need for computing capacity, driven by the large scale move to working from home for many businesses and institutions. Digital infrastructure has never been so important to the world economy. The associated uptake in usage of digital applications in video calling, tele-health, e-commerce and e-learning, alongside those for entertainment (online gaming, video streaming) as we all spend more time indoors, is causing a surge in need for data capacities. On 11th March 2020, data center services provider Deutsche Commercial Internet Exchange set a new world record in Frankfurt achieving data throughput at over 9.1 Tbps.
