DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Data Center Market in Latin America - Industry Outlook and Forecast 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Latin America data center market by investment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% during 2021-2026.
The data center market in Latin America is observing an increased investment in modular, containerized, and POD data center deployment. While most facilities in the region are greenfield construction types, the development of modular data centers is growing steadily, thereby contributing to the Latin America data center market growth.
Telecommunication suppliers are increasingly inclined to adopt modular models in Latin America. Modular infrastructure is energy-efficient and is designed to sustain high-rack density. The expenditure to run a modular information center is about 30% less than traditional brick-and-mortar facilities. Therefore, the demand for modular infrastructure is expected to increase during the forecast period.
Latin America Data Center Market Segmentation
The adoption of static VRLA batteries-based UPS systems designed with up to 750 kVA capacity with N+1 redundant configuration is growing in Chile. Most facilities are equipped with up to 500 kVA VRLA batteries-based UPS systems with N+1 redundant configuration in Colombia. The market is likely to observe the adoption of diesel generators and transfer switches and switchgears with minimum N+N redundancy across data centers. The demand for monitored and metered PDUs is expected to grow during the forecast period due to the need to reduce OPEX across data centers. Several facilities in Mexico are furnished with up to 1000 kVA UPS systems. Large operators are likely to procure over 1,000 kVA UPS systems. The market will witness the adoption of diesel generators with minimum N+N redundancy across data centers.
Majority of Brazil's facilities utilize water-based cooling systems, especially evaporative, that partially support free cooling. Large data centers in Brazil are expected to include CRAH units, whereas small facilities are likely to adopt CRAC units during the forecast period. There is also increased adoption of evaporative coolers that include partial cooling with indoor CRAC units in a few Latin American countries. Some facility operators use a combination of CRAH and direct expansion cooling techniques. In Chile, data centers use chilled water-cooling systems and air-based cooling systems with CRAH units, free cooling units with CRAC units, or free cooling chillers.
4 out of 185 Tier III certified facilities in Latin America are in Brazil. Most data centers are built with a minimum of N+1 redundancy in power infrastructure that are Tier III standards. Ascenty, Axtel, ODATA, Equinix, Angola Cables, CenturyLink, GTD Group, Telefonica, and KIO Networks are major Uptime Institute certified data center operators. Several data centers built in recent times are of Tier III standards due to an increased need for redundant components to at least support critical applications in data centers. Tier IV facilities are witnessed in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic.
INSIGHTS BY GEOGRAPHY
Brazil is expected to observe the highest investments in the Latin America data center market. With the increasing internet penetration among consumers and the growing cloud-based services by businesses in the region, data centers' demand is growing significantly, which can be identified through continued investment in data center operations.
Similarly, the growing demand for cloud-based services, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics in Chile has increased data center investments in recent years. In Chile, the high usage of social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat will increase data generation and increase the need for storage.
INSIGHTS BY VENDORS
The Latin America data center market is observing an influx of IT and support infrastructure providers along with investors and construction contractors. Innovations in IT and support infrastructure are expected to increase vendors' market share in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico due to the increased construction of mega data centers. Vendors are also partnering with modular data center developers to grow revenue, and this trend is expected to grow during the forecast period. The market is likely to witness the entry of new entrants that provide modular data center solutions, DCIM solutions, installation and commissioning services, and physical security services.
