With trailblazing technologies dramatically altering the global virtual ecosystem, the DC powered servers landscape has been experiencing aggrandizing sales and enhanced revenue shares. Until 2019, the market experienced a historical CAGR of over 5%, reaching USD 1.3 Billion in value.
As business volumes expand, corporate entities are faced with numerous data storage and assimilation challenges. For example, the United States alone generates over 3 million gigabytes of data each minute. Naturally, reliance on big data analytics is surging, leading to an increasing demand for DC powered servers.
Moreover, high reliance on cloud platforms and virtualization is prompting server providers to compartmentalize multiple users on a single platform. Key industries ranging from information technology and data centers to government entities are likely to exploit DC powered servers.
Growth was especially strong during 2020, with organizations exhaustively assimilating data across various platforms in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the importance of DC powered servers has been underscored significantly, with FMI projecting the market to remain bullish, registering a staggering 8.2% CAGR through 2030.
Burgeoning demand for lighting fast connectivity has prompted adoption of 5G networks by prominent organizations. While presently operating on a low-spectrum range, maturing technologies and infrastructure are paving way for its escalation across key application areas. This growing adoption is expected to generate fresh revenue ecosystems for DC powered servers.
Studies suggest that nearly two out of five internet users are likely to incorporate 5G networks until 2024, with over a billion mobile subscriptions. 5G networks are poised to handle nearly a quarter of all mobile traffic data. Unlike the existing 4G networks, 5G infrastructure is touted to support millions of devices per square mile.
Significant developments are occurring in this regard. In January 2021, the Ooredo Group and Ericsson entered a 5-year strategic 5G agreement wherein the companies have agreed to make significant breakthroughs by launching new functionalities. The deal includes the Ericsson Radio System, Ericsson Cloud Core, Cloud Infrastructure, Cloud Communication and microwave solutions.

While highly popular in recent years, the scope of cloud computing has witnessed a credible upswing since the COVID-19 pandemic’s outbreak, largely underpinning remote workforces, the global economy and world supply chains. This domain is likely to remain an attractive investment area for ensuring increased scalability in the future.
Data suggests that the global cloud computing market is expanding at over two-fifth of the global virtual landscape, with over three out of five data analytics software being cloud-based. The deployment of IBM’s Cloud for Financial Services is just one among innumerable instances of effective cloud integration in data management.
Unveiled in 2020, the platform is designed to facilitate a transparent public cloud ecosystem with enhanced security, compliance and resiliency features which all financial institutions require. This is expected to enable numerous innovations and deliver highly personalized customer experiences.
As demand for new on demand technology services increase, the costs associated with deploying the same continue to skyrocket. To effectively manage such aggrandizing costs, complicated deployments and uptime, data managers require access to information which may not be readily available.
Managing server information often requires data centers to maintain spreadsheets, which is a painstaking task. Furthermore, such information must be periodically updated. As a result, these centers exhaustively utilize DC powered servers of varying power consumption ranges.
These DC powered servers consume excessive amounts of electricity. Between 2000 and 2005, electricity consumption by servers represented almost a twofold increase, growing from 12 billion kWh to 23 billion kWh. By 2008, individual server power consumption averaged up to 250 watts. These trends are likely to hinder adoption of DC powered servers in the future.

Until 2019, DC powered servers sales across the United States were limited, registering annual growth of just 2.4%. However, prospects are likely to widen, experiencing a CAGR of 4.2% through 2030. Extensive adoption of servers attributed to increasing data processing volumes is likely to drive demand.
Estimates reveal that servers shipment in USA increased by 3% due to increasing popularity of moving localized data center activity to colocation or cloud facilities. Consequently, there has been an increase in the number of colocation service providers across the region.
The top five prominent service providers include, CenturyLink, Digital Reality, Verizon, Equinix and AT&T respectively. Including these aforementioned service providers, a total of nearly 1800 colocation service providers are present across the landscape.
Based on current trend estimates, USA data centers are projected to consume approximately 73 billion kWh in 2020. Adoption of DC DC powered servers has increased for hyper scale data centers where servers are often configured for maximum productivity and operated at high utilization rates.
The UK DC powered servers market is expected to be the most lucrative across Europe, expanding at a value CAGR of 9% throughout the forecast period. Increasing scramble by data centers and business entities in the wake of growing security threats is driving the market on an impressive trajectory.
The Data Protection Act of 2018 is a landmark achievement in the UK’s endeavor to implement a pan-national general data protection regulation. The Act offers a strong legal safeguard against possible personal and classified data breach and provides for fair, lawful and transparent use of such information for limited purposes.
Consequently, business organizations are increasingly adopting colocation services, such as Sungard which offers private colocation, network services and cloud connectivity solutions. In October 2020, it partnered with global Network as a Service (NaaS) leader Megaport which would enable the former to expand its Software Defined Cloud Interconnection (SDCI) capabilities.
Likewise, companies also effectively leverage IBM’s Hybrid Data Management AI-enabled solutions, permitting them to gather data based on any type, source and structure to make it easily accessible across multiple vendors, workloads and deployments.
The telecommunications industry across Germany is highly developed. According to Deutsche Telekom, developments are especially extensive across the high-speed broadband domain. In 2019, fixed network data traffic expanded by three-tenths worldwide, out of which Germany accounted for a significant share.
In 2020, the number of broadband connections was expected to grow at over 2%, reaching approximately 37 million connections. Most of this growth is facilitated by companies possessing robust internet infrastructure, which has facilitated an increase in deployment of high-bandwidth lines. Therefore, investments in DC powered servers is likely to aggrandize across the German market.
As per Future Market Insights’ projections, an annual increase of above 7% is expected across the German DC powered servers market for the next two years, generating over 20% of the revenue share across the aforementioned period.
India is expected to witness astounding growth in the DC powered servers market, registering a value CAGR exceeding 16% across the 2020 to 2030 assessment period. This growth is majorly credited to an ever mushrooming information and communications technology segment in recent years.
The India Brand Equity Foundation advocates that India is a leading sourcing destination in the world. During FY 2019-20, the country yielded USD 200-250 billion, contributing to over 50% market revenue. Also, in FY20, the IT-BPM industry’s revenue was valued at USD 191 billion.
Going by these trends, key powered server providers have found lucrative revenue pools, prompting them to increase their foray into the Indian market. HPE is a prominent global level market player across the country, manufacturing the HPE Apollo 80 System and the HPE Superdome Flex 280 Server, especially suitable for medium sized enterprises.
By server type, DC-powered blade servers are expected to register strong yearly expansion, expanding at nearly 10% annual growth rate by 2021. Reduced power consumption, easy swapping of defective blades and enhanced processing power are some key growth catalyzers. Moreover, they only rely on a single chassis to provide power.
