India dominates the South Asian data center colocation services market, contributing about 90%. It will continue to dominate the region for a few years because of high demand from the hyperscale cloud segment, OTT participants, and content providers. The demand for hyperscale data center capacity has been growing because of enterprises moving their IT infrastructure to the public cloud, high consumer demand for app-based/OTT services running on the cloud, and the rapid increase in Internet data consumption. Hyperscale demand will drive most of the data center colocation growth in the coming years. In addition, enterprise-/retail demand from BFSI and IT verticals will contribute to the data center colocation market growth. Companies prefer to shift away from establishing captive centers and move toward colocation data centers to reduce capital expenditure, achieve higher operational efficiencies, and leverage state-of-the-art infrastructure. Further, the pandemic strengthened the move of enterprises away from captive data centers and toward colocation facilities to ensure business continuity.
Competitive intensity in India is gaining momentum with new domestic firms such as Yotta Infrastructure and Adani Group and global companies such as Equinix and Colt emphasizing service differentiation. Increasing complexity in data center operations and the high cost of both real estate and power are the two major restraints for current colocation service providers and a barrier to new entrants. This analytics covers the Indian data center colocation services market, covering market trends, strategic imperatives, and recent developments. In addition, it discusses market drivers and restraints, market size and revenue forecast (2022 to 2027), compound annual growth rate, market share (by raised floor space and industry vertical demand split), competitive landscape, key participants, and growth opportunities. The study uses primary and secondary research based on Frost & Sullivan’s proprietary methodology to obtain valuable insights and generate informative content.
