The advent of technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), 5G, and artificial intelligence (AI) has escalated the demand for more computing. Growing internet penetration connects numerous IoT edge devices, generating a tremendous amount of data. To manage this massive amount of data and deliver low latency service to end-users, enterprises adopt edge-computing strategies. Thus, companies are increasingly turning to edge and micro data centre strategies.

Microdata centres provide the power of a traditional data Centre with minimal capital investment and even at remote locations. The microdata centres allow vendors to enhance IoT functionality anywhere, anytime, irrespective of native infrastructure capacity. Thus, the advantageous features offered by the microdata centres escalating their demand in the global marketplace. These data centres typically have integrated with the in-built power unit, cooling systems, and network system, making them extremely easy to manage and install.

The expansion of edge computing applications has enhanced the demand for diversified micro data centres to meet end-user edge computing needs. The increasing proliferation of big data, edge computing, and the internet of things has transformed the distributed computing landscape. Increasing data Centre IP traffic will lead to cumulative demand for micro data centres to manage the data traffic. Also, the growing need for low-latency access for data storage and processing would further drive the market growth.

The ever-increasing demand for self-contained enclosures and integrated hardware will drive the micro data Centre market growth. Rapid digitization produces a massive volume of data, which again intensifying the demand for high-performance data centres.

Key Players Covered:

The microdata Centre market signifies a highly competitive landscape where many small and large companies operate in domestic and international markets. The continually surging demand for secure and fast data access encourages market players to develop their product portfolio. Key companies are adopting fundamental business strategies such as new product launches, product enhancements to uplift their market position. Partnerships, collaborations, mergers, or acquisitions For instance, In August 2019, the U.S. based power and connectivity solutions providing firm 'Tripp Lite' launched micro data Centres, named 'EdgeReady,' that can be installed reliably and quickly.

Prominent companies in the global market include Schneider Electric SE, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Company, Hitachi, Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Vertiv Group Corp., Dell Inc., Advanced Facilities, Inc., Attom Technology, ALTRON, Cannon Technologies, Ltd., Canovate Group, Delta Electronics, Inc., Eaton Corporation, Fujitsu Ltd., IBM Corporation, Panduit Corporation, Rittal GmbH & Co. KG, Stulz GmbH, Axellio, Compass DataCentres, DartPoints, EdgeConneX Inc., EdgeMicro, ScaleMatrix Holdings, Inc., Vapor IO, Inc., Zella DC, and among others.

Regional Analysis:

North America would be likely to emerge as a dominating region globally with the rising digitization and adoption of innovative technologies in the retail industry. Retailers are increasingly leveraging the big data powered by machine learning to enhance customer experience, improve manufacturing and logistics operations. For instance, a Canada-based retailer named 'ALDO Group' uses big data analytics to target the right customers and predict emerging trends that boost sales. Thus, the increasing adoption of analytics solutions would encourage retailers to implement a micro data Centre. The presence of major market players across the U.S. supports significant developments in micro data Centres. This factor is further positively impacting market growth in the region. For instance, in March 2020, Vertiv Group Corporation announced that it would launch a single-phase UPS integrated with lithium-ion batteries in the North American Market. The solution aimed to increase runtime and reduce maintenance for micro edge data Centres.

Along with North America, Europe is leading in the deployment of 5G network infrastructure. Growing penetration of the 5G networking technology by prominent telecom providers enhances the micro data Centre market growth. For instance, In May 2020, European telecom service provider Tele2 AB launched 5G network for its consumers in Gothenburg, Stockholm, and Sweden., the European manufacturing sector has started incorporating the latest technologies, such as 5G, robotics, machine learning, and IoT, to increase productivity. This factor would further impact positively on the microdata Centre market growth. Moreover, the Industry 4.0 initiative taken by Germany's government encourages digitalization, which is fueling the market growth across Europe. Furthermore, with the growing adoption of edge computing services Europe will showcase propelled demand for micro data Centres in the coming years.

The Asia Pacific would drive significant market growth due to several government administrations to stress power usage effectiveness and reduce energy consumption data Centres. For instance, In June 2019, the China government deals with data Centre policies, according to which the power usage effectiveness of the existing data Centre should be below 1.4. It should be less than 1.3 for the new data Centre. Rapidly developing IT infratsructure is another crucial factor that drives the microdata Centre demand across the Asia Pacific. Several government initiatives in countries including China, India, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore, are driving advancements in the industrial sector for economic development. The growing advances in the industrial sector, especially in China and Taiwan, will fuel the micro data Centre market revenue.
