The data also revealed that in small countries such as Ireland, these centres could produce up to 30% of the electricity demand by 2028, while creating a threat to overload the local power grid and rising in the energy prices

Regulatory and Environmental Challenges

Building of hyperscale data centers involves meeting certain environmental and zoning standards especially where the climate is a sensitive issue. Also, operators suffer from the problem of purchasing renewable energy sources that are ultimately vital for energy conservation and adherence to sustainability norms.

Furthermore, lack of universal regulations pertaining to building hyperscale data centres is also restraining the market growth. Every country has their own set of rules and regulations pertaining to usage and hyperscale data centres. Key players operating in the market are finding it very difficult to cope with such country wide regulations, which in turn discouraging the overall investment in the market, thereby reducing the market growth.

Hyperscale Data Center Market Opportunities

Emerging Technologies Driving Demand

The growing adaption of various emerging technologies across the various end use industries and business is expected to create lucrative opportunities for market during the forecast period.  Application of AI, blockchain, virtual reality and many more are considered to drive hyperscale in the future. Such applications, in turn, entail high computational and storage demands, which are well satisfied by hyperscale facilities.

It means their growth could yield new opportunities especially in the Asia-Pacific region which is the fastest-growing for such hubs. Furthermore, increasing penetration of internet and smartphones across the globe is expected to generate the large volume of data, thereby creating the market opportunities for the hyperscale data centres across the globe.

Integration with Renewable Energy Systems

Hyperscale centres have the chance of being connected with renewable resources like wind and solar. For instance, data centres are now being leapt at to help balance out Ireland’s energy grid by using up wind power when demand is low. They could be added internationally to improve the systems of energy.

The many key players operating in the market are integrating the hyperscale datacentres with the renewable resources to reduce the overall energy consumption costs and increase the efficiency of the hyperscale data centres. Thus, aforementioned factors are expected to create lucrative opportunities for market during the forecast period.
