Data Center Services Market size was estimated at USD 117.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to attain USD 836.9 billion in 2037, surging at a CAGR of 17.8% during the forecast period i.e. 2025 to 2037. In 2025, the industry size of data center services is evaluated at USD 138 billion.
The market has been in keen expansion due to the combination of advancing technologies and shifting business demands. The rapid expansion of 5G networks increases edge computing demand, necessitating a decentralized nature of data centers to support low-latency processing at the network edge. For instance, in September 2024, the expansion of T-Mobile to its flagship data center in Prague began. The operator is currently setting up a photovoltaic power plant on the grounds of the new facility and plans to install a Private 5G network within the data center.
The market is growing as a result of the growing trend of moving from physical infrastructure to the cloud, the introduction of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), instant service, and startup-friendly prices, as well as improved security and updates with new technologies. For instance, in September 2024, Nokia introduced the most advanced data center automation platform in the industry, designed with AI capabilities. This approach seeks to eliminate human error in network operations to minimize service outages and network disruptions. It is anticipated that cloud computing will become more and more popular. All these factors are changing the shape of the future global data center services market into a pathway to new opportunities for innovation and growth.

Infrastructure Type (Server, Storage, Networking)
In data center services market, server segment is projected to account for revenue share of around 50% by 2037. Their dominance is primarily attributed to the support required by businesses for a large number of applications that need a mighty, scalable, and reliable server infrastructure. For instance, in October 2024, Dell Technologies launched a new line of integrated rack-scalable systems, Rack 7000 (IR7000) server, storage, and data management innovations in the Dell AI factory. Thus, servers act as the backbone, offering high-performance computing, large-scale data storage, and efficient management of workloads, which makes them indispensable in today's modern data center environments.
Organization Size (Small, Medium, Large)
The large organization segment is expected to dominate the data center services market attributable to the vast IT infrastructure that is needed to process massive amounts of data. It necessitates strong, scalable data center solutions to ensure business continuity and support for mission-critical applications. For instance, in September 2024, Princeton Digital Group sealed an agreement to build three more data centers outside Mumbai, India. Under this alliance, Mindspace REIT will develop data centers for PDG with an additional 1 million sq ft, the new constructions will be integrated into the larger 50-acre campus. The financial capabilities of companies further help in repositioning them as the key growth engine of market requirements.
