Data centers are critical in modern business operations, especially in today's interconnected digital landscape. The data center industry is experiencing significant growth, with the market size estimated to reach over $400 billion by 2030 and an expected compound annual growth rate of nearly 10%. Expansion is driven by generative AI technology and an increasing demand for cloud services, big data analytics, and the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. In North America alone, data center inventory grew by 24.4% in Q1 2024. In Europe and Latin America inventory grew by 20% and 15% respectively.
