At 11.5% CAGR, the South & Central America Micro Data Center Market is projected to be worth US$ 187.06 million by 2030, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights research, the South & Central America micro data center market was valued at US$ 78.27 in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 187.06 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.5% from 2022 to 2030. Increasing deployment of 5G services is among the critical factors attributed to the South & Central America micro data center market expansion.
The deployment of 5G is expected to significantly increase the volume of data traffic, as 5G offers high-speed data and lower latency compared to 4G and other networks. According to the Cisco company's report published in 2022, 5G is expected to support more than 10% of the world's mobile connections by the end of 2023, with an average speed of 575 Mbps, i.e., 13 times faster than the average mobile connection. Due to increased data traffic, businesses and enterprises are seeking a location to store, process, and distribute their data more efficiently and reliably, contributing to the need for micro data centers. Moreover, the major advantage of 5G deployment is its ability to support a wide range of IoT services and applications, such as autonomous vehicles and industrial automation. These applications generate large amounts of data, which needs to be processed in real time and stored securely. Micro data center facilities offer a cost-effective and scalable solution for storing and processing this data, providing high security, redundancy, and connectivity. Furthermore, businesses seek to deploy 5G applications and services in their areas with limited network infrastructure with "Data sovereignty." This practice allows micro data center providers to offer services such as enhanced network connectivity and disaster recovery.
Several micro data center providers are launching data centers and their services across the countries. For instance, in November 2022, Rittal launched new micro data centers, which are compact, robust, and fully-fledged homes for IT hardware. The RiMatrix micro data centers are equipped with matching OT components such as rack, power, cooling, monitoring, and security to ensure that it is securely packed and operates with the smallest carbon emissions, regardless of the location. Further, with regional standardization and increased adaptability, these new packages offer more advantages to consumers. Micro data centers use 5G services to handle the exponential growth in data consumption, edge computing, IoT devices, cloud computing, and digital services. Therefore, the increasing deployment of 5G services is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the South & Central America micro data center market growth in the coming years.
