Market Insight
The datacenter industry is one of the few that in many ways has been positively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Demand for datacenter space has remained strong, as have investment and M&A activity. We expect to see continued strong growth in the industry, even as pressure builds for providers to construct facilities ever more quickly and at lower cost, while also boosting efficiency and, ideally, powering them with renewable energy. Datacenter vendors and service providers are responding to these challenges by becoming more flexible and adopting new technical approaches, but more change and pressure will test the industry in the years ahead.
