Data Center Substation Market Drivers and Opportunities

Need for the data center for growing data to Favor the Market

The data is generated at a faster pace. The rise in internet penetration has fuelled the generation of data. Businesses all over the world are relying on data-driven strategic planning for efficient business growth. In addition, IoT generates a huge number of data that needs to be processed, stored and analyzed in real-time. The deployment of 5G is expected to significantly increase the volume of data traffic, as 5G offers much higher data and lower latency than the 4G and other networks. According to the Cisco reports, 5G will support more than 10% of the world's mobile connections by 2023, with an average speed of 575 Mbps. That's 13 times faster than the average mobile connection today. Due to increased data traffic, businesses and enterprises will seek a location to store, process and distribute their data more efficiently and reliably, contributing to the need for data center providers. Thus, to manage the power grid of a data center effectively, the demand for data center substations is growing.

Smart data center substation
