The emergence of cloud computing services has boosted the necessity for more data centers to provide these services. Many companies are moving towards cloud-based solutions, which is rising the demand for data center construction. This is because of its advantages like better scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. This transformation to cloud computing has also increased the demand for hyperscale data centers that can easily manage huge numbers of virtualized workloads. 

Emergence of Edge Data Centers: The growth of edge computing has accelerated the advancement of edge data centers. These centers are deliberately located closer to end-users and IoT devices for reducing latency and enhancing performance. These smaller, distributed facilities allow real-time data processing. They also support latency-sensitive applications such as self-driving cars and augmented reality. The edge data centers are also constructed with flexibility, energy efficiency, and modular designs in mind due to the changing edge computing needs.

North America is dominating the data center construction market with the largest market share. The growth of data center construction in North America is increasing exponentially. This is because the providers are developing advanced data centers with sustainable building. They are also trying to offer operations and business procedures that can fulfill the growing demands of hyperscale data centers. In January 2024, EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure made an announcement about completing a USD 1.9 billion debt financing agreement for their Mesa, Arizona, data center campus. Along with the completion of this deal, the water-neutral, LEED-certified campus will extend over 3.1 million square feet of space. It will also sustain 450 MW of crucial load and fulfill the requirement of present and future clients.
