Powering the data-hungry age The rapid expansion of AI-centric applications is fundamentally redrawing the boundaries of the data centre market.
McKinsey research indicates global demand for data centres could triple by 2030, with some 70 % of this demand arising from AI workloads.
Jones Lang LaSalle( JLL) reports that more than 10GW of new capacity will break ground this year, and capital investments from technology giants are projected to exceed several hundred billion dollars.
Energy demand has become a defining bottleneck. International Energy Agency( IEA) estimates suggest data centres accounted for about 1.5 % of global electricity consumption in 2024, or 415 terawatt-hours( TWh).
