The data center is a critical component for any business as internet penetration continues growing. In countries like India where the population is high and the users of the internet using mobile data through smartphones and connected devices are rapidly increasing, the augmented demand of data center is evident. The government of India supporting public investment in large scale digitalization with its Digital India scheme and the transition of telecom giants to high-speed 4G LTE and upcoming 5G wireless technologies are also driving the demand of data center infrastructure in the country.
Considering a report, the market of the data center in India is forecasted to reach US$1.5 billion by 2022 from US$1 billion in 2018, at a growing CAGR of 11.4 percent throughout the forecasted period.
