Growth in the market for
data centre construction had been strong in the years leading up to
2008, though was negatively affected by the global economic crisis
during 2008 and 2009, but saw an upturn in 2010 due to a release of
pent up demand, with estimates for 2011 for slightly lower growth.
Key drivers for growth
include growing online activity, the growth in cloud based services,
an increasing focus on whole life cost and energy efficiency, the
development of modular solutions and an increase in outsourcing among
smaller businesses. Factors likely to restrict growth in the medium
term include a lack of suitable sites, difficulties in obtaining
planning and finance for data centre projects, the implementation of
virtualisation technology and a trend towards consolidation.
The current outlook for
the market over the medium term is positive, with the shortage of
modern and efficient data centre space experienced at present expected
to drive both newbuild and replacement activity for the foreseeable
future.
