The report also attempts to forecast the market size with respect to 5 main regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America. The report strategically profiles key players and comprehensively analyzes their core competencies. It also tracks and analyzes competitive developments, such as joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, new product developments, and Research & Development (R&D) activities in the modular data center market.

Research Methodology

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the modular data center market began with capturing data the key vendor’s revenues through a secondary research using sources, such as Uptime Institute (US) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) (US). The vendor offerings were also taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the overall market size of the global modular data center market from the revenues of the key players in the market. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments, which were then verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key people, such as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), directors, and executives. The data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all the segments and subsegments. The breakdown of primary profiles is depicted in the figure below:

The modular data center market is expected to grow from USD 13.07 Billion in 2017 to USD 46.50 Billion by 2022, at a high Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 28.90% during the forecast period. Data center operators face an increasing need for a scale-out data center architecture, which enables the scaling of critical data center components as and when the demand increases. The modular data center provides prefabricated modules that easily address the customer’s capacity needs with a quick deployment time. It also helps in cutting down the cost of in-house infrastructure. Modular data center solutions, including all-in-one as well as individual functional modules can be added to the existing data center infrastructure, which enables a massively scalable architecture. These solutions are expected to fuel the growth of the modular data center market, as organizations are increasingly adopting them to cater to the increasing data center traffic.

The report provides detailed insights into the global modular data center market, which is segmented according to the components, data center sizes, tier types, industries, and regions. The component segment is further classified into functional module solutions and services, and in the functional module solutions segment, the individual functional module solutions are expected to dominate the market and contribute to the largest market share. In the services segment, infrastructure management services are set to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The data center sizes segment includes mid-sized data centers, enterprise data centers, and large data centers, where the mid-sized data centers segment is estimated to have a higher market size, as it has a high demand for scalable infrastructure to support the high-end applications. The growing investments in data center technologies across the world and the increasing number of data centers are expected to demand for modular data center solutions and fuel the growth of the market.

The report covers all the major aspects of the modular data center market and provides an in-depth analysis across the regions of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America. The market in North America is expected to hold the largest market share. Due to the presence of various developing countries, the growing number of data centers, and an increasing adoption associated services, the APAC region is projected to have great opportunities in this market and expected to grow at the highest CAGR by 2022.

However, vendor lock-ins may act as the restraining factor for the modular data center market. Various vendors are providing modular data center solutions to help enterprises in reducing their Capital Expenditure (CAPEX). HPE is one of the major vendors that offer modular data center solutions, with respect to all-in-one as well as individual functional modules. The company has extensively focused on developing data center solutions that can help transform data centers in a cost-effective and secure way. Other vendors include Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (China); International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation (US); Eaton Corporation (Ireland); BladeRoom (UK); Cannon Technologies Ltd. (UK); Commscope Inc. (US); Dell Inc. (US); Flexenclosure AB (Sweden); Rittal GmbH & Co. KG (Germany); Schneider Electric SE (France); Vertiv Co. (US); and Baselayer Technology, LLC. (US). These players have adopted various strategies, such as new product launches, partnerships, collaborations, and expansions, to stay competitive in the market.
