Moreover, the governmental support to enhance the sustainable digital infrastructure actively contributes to the market's growth. For instance, the Chinese government aims to advance its data centers by 2030. The project is planned to establish data centers to encourage the use of renewable energy resources in the DCs to minimize carbon emissions. This project is also aimed at using renewable sources of energy by 10% annually. Additionally, many firms other than governmental ones are also investing in the development plans of green data centers globally. This kind of support leads to the growth of the green data centers market.

Moreover, the rising popularity of green data centers has enlightened the role of Artificial Intelligence in their development. This includes the advanced monitoring systems for the DCs. It includes AI-driven cooling systems, AI-heat monitoring systems, etc. help to lower operational costs. However, the establishment of such systems leads to high initial costs, which hinders the market growth of green DCs. Also, it requires an extensive area for the integration of energy-efficient tools such as solar panels, etc.

Global Green Data Centers Market Driver:

Rising Investments in Next-Generation Data Centers to Achieve Sustainability – It has been observed that a rising number of investments are being made in renewable and sustainable alternatives. Consequently, it has resulted in the development of green data centers in bulk. This type of renovation drives market growth. For example, the DTCP (Digital Transformation Capital Partners) has recently (2024) launched a new data center platform called Green Scale in various regions of Ireland, including Derry, Donegal, etc. This setup was aimed at utilizing renewable energy sources that inclined towards sustainability.

Moreover, various ongoing investments in sustainable data center development have been seen. For instance, as per the GDS (Global Distribution System) (2024), an investment of approx. USD1 billion has been announced for establishing a large-scale data center park in Thailand. This data center park is aimed to make Thailand, one of the major regional tech zones. Also, the project plans to integrate a liquid cooling system, which is a highly sustainable step to be incorporated into the data center park.

Global Green Data Centers Market Opportunity:

Government Support to Increase Sustainable Data Centers – The governments of different countries are actively supporting the enhancement of digital infrastructure and launching projects for it. The major plan is to develop more sustainable data centers after considering the serious effects of using traditional energy resources in the data centers. The traditional sources involved fuel cells, diesel generators, etc. to power them, which negatively impacts environmental health. As a result, the governments of different nations have started supporting the adoption of renewable sources of energy in every sector. This has resulted in the governmental projects to be inculcated in the data centers. Consequently, green data centers have started to be built across the entire world. For instance, as per the Cabinet Ministry of Maharashtra, India (2024), a Green Integrated Data Center Park project has been launched around the Maharashtra region. This includes three data centers in the areas of Mumbai. The project was invested with a huge amount of nearly 18 Billion with more than 1 GW of Information Technology capacity. The project aims to set up 100% renewable resources to power the DC park for environmental safety.

Global Green Data Centers Market Challenge:

High Initial Costs Hinder the Market Growth – The development of green data centers requires a huge investment initially. This is due to the establishment of energy-efficient tools, renewable energy sources, and special types of monitoring systems. Arranging all the raw materials is a big challenge. These energy-saving tools include wind turbines, solar panels, etc. A single data center requires a huge amount of land to incorporate solar panels to get powered effectively.

Additionally, the energy requirement for the data centers is also increasing due to more workload. This results in a high requirement for energy tools, which ultimately demands high costs. For example, as per the Aurum Equity Partners (2024), the announcement of roughly more than USD350 Million has been made to establish a next-gen AI data center in Hyderabad, India.  Moreover, these kinds of power sources are less efficient when the appropriate weather conditions are not fulfilled. For example, the solar power plant is less efficient on cloudy days, and likewise, the wind turbines. These types of factors hinder the growth of the Green Data Centers Industry.

Global Green Data Centers Market Trend:

AI-Driven Monitoring Systems Employed in Sustainable Data Centers – The recent advancements in green data centers include AI-driven monitoring systems. For instance, Nxtra by Airtel has recently (2024) launched AI in the data centers in India for the very first time. The project aimed to improve the energy sources and promote automation for the operation of data centers. These systems involve the continuous supervision of temperature fluctuations, heat losses, overloading servers, and energy scarcity. Additionally, AI provides more data security. For example, Virtual Technology is an AI-derived technology that effectively controls the excessive energy losses in data centers by self-analyzing the flaws in the system without compromising the cost of purchasing the extensive hardware. Additionally, it prevents high power losses by signaling the smallest flaw or malfunction in the systems at a very initial stage.
