Data Center Capacity Demand to Grow 3.5X Between 2025 and 2030, McKinsey Estimates

Momentary concerns about enterprise or hyperscale data center demand aside, virtually all observers might agree that demand for data center capability is going to grow substantially, to support artificial intelligence and computing workloads  in general. 


Consultants at McKinsey and Co., for example, estimate that between 2025 and 2030 data center capacity demand is going to grow by 3.5 times.

That, in turn, will drive an estimated $3 trillion to $8 trillion in additional data center capacity by 2030.
