- The data center construction market is witnessing significant expansion due to rising digitalization across sectors such as banking, healthcare, and e-commerce
- For instance, in 2024, Microsoft announced a USD 3.3 billion investment to build a new data center campus in Wisconsin, and Oracle launched a new cloud region in Chicago to enhance service availability
- Companies are increasingly adopting modular and prefabricated designs to reduce construction time and increase scalability
- For instance, Google’s USD 1.2 billion data center project in Kansas uses modular components, and Equinix has implemented prefabricated infrastructure in multiple facilities across Europe
- Sustainable construction practices are becoming a top priority, including the use of renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies
- For instance, Meta's data center in Altoona, Iowa, runs entirely on wind energy, and Amazon’s data center in Virginia integrates solar and battery storage systems for continuous green power
- Advanced systems such as AI-powered temperature controls, real-time energy monitoring, and biometric security are being integrated into new facilities
- Leading construction firms such as DPR Construction and Turner Construction are collaborating with major tech companies for high-tech data center projects
