Global Containerized Data Center Market Trends, Forecast Report 2025-2037
Containerized Data Center Market size was valued at USD 13.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 205.1 billion by the end of 2037, rising at a CAGR of 22.2% during the forecast period, 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of containerized data center is estimated at USD 15.9 billion.
The containerized data center market is flourishing, led by the strong demand for IT infrastructure scalability and efficiency. Computer manufacturing producer price index rose by over 7% from 2020 to 2023, signaling increasing production costs linked to material and labor shortages. Energy prices fell around 3%, improving data center operators’ operational costs. The U.S. Department of Energy has committed more than USD 35 million for energy-efficient cooling systems to support edge and cloud computing in 2024.
Containerized data center assembly lines are constructed in industrial regions. Asia Pacific is the leading origin of raw materials for its export trade dynamics. Likewise, North America leads finished product assembly, with around 66% share of U.S. exports from six key states in 2023.
Regional strengths in raw material production and technological innovation determine what shapes the global trade in containerized data center components. Steel and electronic components are led by China and Japan in exports. Cost pressures are reflected in the PPI in computer manufacturing, up over 3% in 2021, and the CPI’s 2% in April 2025. Moreover, technological investments are a key to market growth. For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy announced over USD 35 million in funding allocation in 2024 for advanced cooling and sustainable designs to satisfy increasing data needs.
In 2023, North America had around 33% of global market share through AI and 5G infrastructure investments within its regulatory framework. Asia-Pacific emerging markets are growing due to the import of modular components for digital infrastructure growth. Raw materials like as cooling systems, servers' electronic components, and containers' steel and aluminum are sourced, mostly from Asia and North America. Issues in supply chain disruptions and tariff impacts, over 15% of U.S. manufacturers diversified their suppliers to buffer risks. Therefore, the dynamics of the market require strategic sourcing and locally assembled capabilities to ensure both resilience and price point.
