2024 Global Data Center Outlook

As the global economy continues to rapidly adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI), infrastructure to support these systems must keep pace. Consumers and businesses are expected to generate twice as much data in the next five years as all the data created over the past 10 years. This growth presents both an opportunity and a challenge for real estate investors, developers and operators. JLL’s Data Centers 2024 Global Outlook explores how data centers need to be designed, operated and sourced to meet the evolving needs of the global economy.

Data Centre Outlook 2021

Skyrocketing demand for cloud technology leads to a strong start in 2021

Quick takes:

• Financial, tech and healthcare companies drive data centre spending and enterprise-level demand.
• Sustainability takes centre stage amongst data centre providers and occupiers.
• Investment and M&A hit new heights with record-breaking deal.
• The global construction pipeline remains robust.

Data centre’s outlook is optimistic

Skyrocketing data usage, including streaming services and virtual connectivity, caused record demand for data centers in 2020, and the first half of 2021 got off to a strong start as well.

The top major data center REITs, which are the major operators and providers of data centre space globally, saw a strong resurgence in enterprise-level demand, driven by financial, technology and healthcare companies. The increased activity reflects the evolving landscape of the pandemic and the global progress on vaccine administration and restriction lifts. 

The green gain

With health and wellness and sustainability at the forefront of many corporate agendas, the data centre industry is feeling the heat to use more efficient systems, renewable energy and carbon-cutting practices.

What does this look like for data centres ?

Here are three ways data centres are creating a greener industry and more sustainable world:

Green finance.  The total amount of green bonds, with funds tied directly to sustainable projects,  grew by 688 percent from 2014 to 2020, according to data from Climate Bonds Initiative.

Creative designs and operational solutions.  Data centre developers and operators are making strides to use fewer building construction materials and optimize power usage effectiveness (PUE) and water usage effectiveness (WUE).

Industry and government partnerships.  Government policies may act as an accelerant as more credits and subsidies are put into place to hit carbon-cutting goals across jurisdictions.

State of the industry

Demand for data centres is on pace for another strong year in 2021.

In Europe, London continues to lead the region in demand, largely driven by cloud companies.

In the United States in the first half of the year, absorption reached 273.6 MW across 14 domestic markets, the second-highest amount on record going back to 2018.

Last year was a record-breaking year for mergers and acquisitions and data centre investment. While activity is below last year’s pace, the industry still recorded the largest data centre deal ever in June of 2021.

The overall construction pipeline in North America is expected to grow throughout the year to meet increasing demand from cloud and technology companies, while in Europe, the pipeline virtually stayed the same in the first half of 2021 compared to year-end 2020.

North America Data Center Report

The quest for power moves development into new frontiers

What’s not going to change in the next 10 years?

Data will be fundamentally important to our society. Despite 2023 being a strong year for demand, limited supply shifted the balance of power even further to providers. In the second half of 2023 the primary North American data center markets saw accelerating demand combined with lack of power availability which led to extremely limited availability and increased preleasing.

What’s driving demand?

New demand from Generative AI requires tremendous amounts of power, with some up to 300-500 MW. Cloud and hyperscale demand continues to dominate in the larger markets, making it more difficult for smaller enterprise users to find colocation space and power to meet their needs. Proximity to interconnection points is driving site selection for data center demand, but these edge deployments tend to be smaller. Both users and operators must plan further ahead and commit to space and talent on accelerated timelines.

Financing is steady, but expertise is needed

Given uncertainty of occupancy for office product, slowdown in the logistics sector, and a decline in rental rate growth for living, alternative investment segments such as data centers are seeing increasing interest. Data centers are seeing increasing investor allocations – with the sector having a 9% CAGR in transactions since 2013 – the highest of any sector other than life sciences.

Companies with backing from investors are expanding rapidly but do not always have the framework for people and processes to run these data centers. These companies are turning to facilities and property management experts with a deep bench of engineers trained for critical environments.

Looking ahead

With the power shifts in the sector, previously unconsidered markets are entering the spotlight for new data center development. We profile these up-and-comers in addition to the primary and secondary North America data center markets.

JLL: Edge data center market to surpass $300bn in value by 2026

AI and IoT will fuel the growth

The global Edge data center market will hit a valuation of $317 billion by 2026, according to a report from real estate consulting firm JLL.

JLL notes that a surge in data-dependent technologies, including AI and the Internet of Things (IoT), will drive the market growth, which can be supported by Edge data centers.

The Edge Supplement

Telcos, satellites, and compute

It represents a growth of 107 percent from the 2020 market valued at $153bn.

Edge data centers are smaller data centers located closer to the Edge of the network, designed to process and analyze data in real-time providing businesses with faster decision-making and more efficient operations.

“Consumers and corporations will continue to adapt to transformational technologies within daily life and without the distribution of data processing and storage across various locations, cutting edge efficiencies and solutions like IoT and generative AI will not transition to mainstream acceptance,” said Jonathan Kinsey, EMEA Lead and global chair, data center solutions, JLL.

“Edge data centers will be essential to ensure both seamless business operations in the future economy while also improving security measures and protecting against potential disruptions. By lowering latency by bringing the computing infrastructure closer to the data source and user, Edge IT infrastructure will become an essential component in the international economy.”

JLL notes that the rise of Edge IT infrastructure focused on data centers will mirror the growth of IoT devices, which JLL analysis projects will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8 percent over the next five years.

The report cites the demand for technology that requires low latency, high computing, and generative AI as reasons for the projected growth in value of the market.

In the US, 21 percent of data center development is taking place in Edge geographies.

It adds that the Asia Pacific (APAC) and the Middle East North Africa (MENA) regions will take advantage of opportunities in the Edge data center market.

The Edge data center market is made up of Edge data center-focused companies such as Liberty Global and Digital Bridge JV AtlasEdge , which operates more than 100 Edge data centers across Europe.

Mobile carriers including Deutsche Telekom have also deployed Edge data centers. Earlier this month, the telco launched a 5G network and Edge data center at a Volkswagen port terminal in Emden, Germany.

Other Edge providers focused on containerized solutions include the likes of Flexnode, Datapod, Siemens Gamesa, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

Many hyperscalers also have Edge offerings.

Tower companies have also hedged their bets on Edge data center deployments, notably American Tower and SBA Communications .
