Modular Data Center Market to Reach $93.6 Billion by 2031
The global modular data center market is expected to grow from $41 billion in 2026 to $93.6 billion by 2031, at a compound annual growth rate of 18 percent, according to new research by MarketsandMarkets. Market growth is being driven by rising demand for scalable digital infrastructure that can be rapidly deployed, the expansion of cloud computing, and the accelerated development of artificial intelligence-based applications. Additional momentum comes from edge computing, 5G, and growing data volumes, while the modular approach enables faster capacity expansion and shorter deployment times compared with traditional data centers.
Among individual segments, skid-mounted infrastructure stands out, with a CAGR of 21.2 percent expected through 2031, while all-in-one data centers are projected to grow at a rate of 19.6 percent. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market, driven by digital transformation, expanding cloud services, and investments in data center infrastructure across China, India, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Southeast Asian countries.
Demand in the region is being further supported by the development of smart cities and national cloud infrastructure, as well as the expansion of AI, IoT, 5G, and edge computing applications. MarketsandMarkets identifies Dell Technologies, Vertiv, Schneider Electric, Huawei, Eaton, Rittal, Siemens, Johnson Controls, STULZ, Mitsubishi Electric, ABB, and Delta Electronics among the key global players, alongside a range of other manufacturers and infrastructure providers.
The research indicates that deployment speed, energy efficiency, scalability, and the ability to adapt to increasingly demanding AI and cloud workloads will be among the key factors shaping the future development of the modular data center market.
