글로벌 데이터센터 리노베이션 시장은 2025년 255억 5,500만 달러에서 20년 말까지 1,143억 6,000만 달러로 성장할 것으로 전망된다.

The global data center renovation market was valued at USD 25.55 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 114.36 billion by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 16.17 percent from 2026 to 2035. This growth is primarily fueled by enterprises prioritizing energy efficiency, enhanced security, and expanded computing capacity to support cloud, edge, and artificial intelligence technologies. Consequently, organizations are increasingly choosing to retrofit existing facilities rather than build new greenfield sites. Key renovation efforts focus on adopting efficient cooling systems, integrating renewable energy, upgrading electrical infrastructure, and optimizing space to meet sustainability goals and carbon regulations. In 2024, Schneider Electric introduced advanced energy-efficient power distribution units and AI-driven monitoring software to support these sustainable renovation initiatives.

Segment analysis shows that mechanical renovation held approximately 41 percent of the market in 2025, covering structural upgrades such as elevated flooring, increased server room capacity, and improved fire suppression and physical security systems, with major firms like Equinix and Digital Realty leading large-scale retrofits. Electrical renovation is the fastest-growing segment, driven by investments in modernizing outdated power distribution networks, switchgear, and backup systems, supported by modular infrastructure developments from manufacturers like Vertiv and Schneider Electric. In terms of renovation focus, improved energy efficiency captured the largest share at roughly 46 percent, encouraged by rising energy costs and stricter environmental policies, while increased capacity and density emerged as the fastest-growing category due to the rapid expansion of high-density computing and AI applications. Cooling systems accounted for about 38 percent of the market in 2025, benefiting from higher power densities in high-performance computing and AI, with vendors such as Vertiv and STULZ deploying liquid-cooled and energy-efficient air handling units. Power systems represent the fastest-growing component, reflecting the critical need for reliable power architecture, as companies like Eaton and ABB launch new uninterruptible power supply and switchgear solutions.

Facility age also influences renovation trends. Data centers aged 11 to 15 years represented around 33 percent of the market in 2025, as they remain operational but require upgrades to support modern digitization needs, a trend addressed by IBM and NTT through server consolidation. Facilities aged 16 to 20 years are experiencing the fastest growth rate due to the urgent need to replace aging infrastructure that can no longer meet current performance demands. Regionally, North America holds the highest market share at 41.21 percent, supported by robust technological tools, numerous legacy centers requiring updates, and significant investments in secure and efficient data center technologies. The United States market alone was valued at USD 8.71 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 36.25 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 15.33 percent, driven by legacy infrastructure, rapid digital adoption, and environmental mandates favoring green retrofits. Europe is projected to grow from USD 6.39 billion in 2025 to USD 26.30 billion by 2035 at a CAGR of 15.20 percent, though growth remains relatively slow due to stringent environmental regulations and the gradual transition to green technology. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region with a CAGR of 17.07 percent, propelled by expanding digital infrastructure, rising cloud adoption, and rapid industrialization, as increasing consumption and performance demands accelerate investments in modernizing older, large-scale facilities. In 2024, Vertiv also launched enhanced cooling and power management solutions specifically engineered to support high-density computing environments and AI workloads.
