Data Centre Construction: what lies ahead?

From April 2021 to April 2022, internet users worldwide increased by almost 200 million. Needless to say, there’s a scramble to build more data centres to meet this growing demand.

While some global events may be slowing down supply chains, data centre construction is still on the rise. It isn’t just the big boys who are leading the data centre drive. The data centre construction market is also seeing significant demand from co-location operators who rent our space to third parties.

Traditional data centres are by far the lion’s share of this sector of construction. However, edge data centres are also on the rise.

As governments strive toward carbon-neutral targets and with data centres currently accounting for 1% of global electricity consumption the days of energy-guzzling data centres will be numbered. The industry is already looking at sustainable data centres which will rely on advances in technology and smart decisions over future data centres locations.
