Category spend intelligence managers from Technavio highlight the following four factors that are contributing to the growth of global data center services:

  • Lack of in-house capabilities for maintaining data centers
  • Demand for storage capacity and adoption of virtualized infrastructure
  • Demand for better network management
  • Increased focus on sustainability

Lack of in-house capabilities for maintaining data centers

Many small organizations struggle to maintain in-house data centers and monitor day-to-day operations. As a result, they are outsourcing data center services to third parties in order to focus oncore activities, as well as to reduce infrastructural costs and management complexities.



Category managers believe that growth in the data center outsourcing market in India, which is expected to post a striking 25% CAGR through 2018, will be one of the major factors contributing to overall growth of the market.

Demand for storage capacity and adoption of virtualized infrastructure


Businesses across sectors are growing exponentially, which, in turn, is giving rise to the need for enhancement in storage capacities. The demand for data center virtualization is also rising as virtualization of data center services helps reduce power consumption and the need for dedicated physical infrastructure. This increased demand for storage capacity from businesses and virtualization is likely to increase data center budgets by more than 10% by 2017.

Demand for better network management

An increase in the penetration and usage of mobile services, social media, and cloud-based platforms is leading to demand for high-bandwidth networks for faster transmission of data. Therefore, many organizations, while procuring data centers, are looking for better network connectivity options that include carrier availability and density. This demand for network connectivity is driving the data center market, as they are able to provide large network bandwidth cost-effectively.

Increased focus on sustainability

Stringency of environmental regulations is prompting suppliers to invest in R&D for the development of energy-efficient data centers. This is influencing buyers to outsource their data center requirements to these providers, as it helps them save on R&D costs, while allowing them to comply with regulatory requirements. The green data centers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 27% through 2019 to reach USD 75.89 billion.
