AI and Cloud Adoption Drive Data-Centre Growth

Driving value creation in a growth market

Demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud adoption continues to accelerate, making the environment for data-centre growth strong for all stakeholders in the data-centre value chain. For investors, in 2024, there were 285 data-centre deals worldwide, with an aggregate value of more than USD76 billion, more than doubling the value from 2023, when deals were worth USD38 billion. This dynamic market is rapidly changing in response to evolving business models, regulatory requirements as well as consumer demand.

AI and cloud growth are redefining data-centre needs, creating opportunities for operators, investors and supply chain innovation.
