The global data center substation market is expected to grow from US$ 9,784.42 million in 2021 to US$ 13,947.91 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2021 to 2028.

The exponential rise in internet consumption; the development of high-end software and application systems; and the increase in the number of several connected devices, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and computers increase in the quantity and variety of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in public and private networks. Therefore, companies adopt advanced storage and processing solutions to store and process the large volume of data, which drives the need for an advanced data center. The increasing number of data centers fuels the demand for efficient and reliable substations, which propels the growth of the data center substation market. The COVID-19 pandemic posed major challenges for all sectors in 2020. Most people were compelled to stay indoors due to the outbreak, thereby boosting the adoption of work from home practices. Many industries shifted their operational activities from a physical office to a virtual space. The shift in the working style among corporates and digitization of all work, along with its deployment on the cloud, increased the demand for high storing capacity servers in various industries across the region. However, the data center substation market experienced a minor hit at the beginning of the pandemic due to the disrupted supply chain of data center substation components because of the partial restrictions on cargo and transport. In 2021, with the ease in restrictions, the supply chain industry started to work smoothly. Also, the substations are required for continuous power supply in data centers. Therefore, the data center substation market in the MEA is growing significantly. The overall market in the region witnessed a positive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Asia Pacific is one of the most significant regions with respect to the adoption of data center substations. As per observation in 2021, after first quarter of 2021, China has the highest number of internet users with 854 million internet users, India is second with 560 million internet users, and Japan has 118.63 million internet uses. Further, in 2020, South Korea had around 47 million internet users, and the figure is projected to grow to approx. 48.1 million by 2026. Thus, the growth of internet users directly increases the quantity and variety of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. Therefore, companies adopt advanced storage and processing solutions to store and process a large volume of data, which drives the need for advanced data centers. The increasing number of data centers fuels the growth of the APAC data center substation market.
