Global Data Center Colocation Market Forecast 2035:
According to the report, the global data center colocation market is likely to grow from USD 83.5 Billion in 2025 to USD 306.8 Billion in 2035 at a highest CAGR of 13.9% during the time period. The growing shift to digital modernization, along with ongoing demand for secure, scalable infrastructure and real-time processing of data, is accelerating the global data center colocation market's growth.
Organizations and financial companies are continuing to apply colocation for cloud-native core systems, AI-based analysis, and real-time compliance monitoring. For example, in April 2025, CoreSite rolled out an AI-optimized colocation platform for high-volume, latency-sensitive financial workloads, and added regulatory readiness. In addition, Equinix announced improvements to its global interconnection fabric made it easier to integrate with many cloud providers for real-time transaction processing, cross-border data compliance, and use by banks and leasing companies globally.
The 2024 Global Data Infrastructure Report found that 70% of the 1,000 enterprise IT-leaders interviewed had moved toward hybrid infrastructure strategies, where colocation will be an essential part of their scalable and compliant operations. These shifts indicate that digital transformation, regulatory complexity, and performance-driven infrastructure demands are fundamental tenants for the further adoption of colocation services.
“Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Global Data Center Colocation Market”
The data center colocation industry is becoming more influenced by the increasing necessity for smart, scalable infrastructure to indicate the initial stages of digital transformation, host AI workloads, and develop real-time financial processing capabilities. In January 2025, Digital Realty collaborated with a top fintech consortium to create an AI-optimized colocation suite that would facilitate the faster deployment of automated credit decisioning systems and real-time compliance analytics, for banks and leasing companies. This emphasizes the significant function of colocation in facilitating high-performance computing in regulatory-ready environments.
Even though, the industry has challenges associated with legacy IT dependencies and the increasing degree of complexity in hybrid infrastructure integration. For example, early in 2025, a number of mid-tier financial institutions in Europe reported setbacks related to data migration and connectivity issues between their on-premise IT systems and third-party collocation providers, which limited their potential to fully utilize digital environments.
There are development potentials emerging for API-centric interconnection services that connect colocation into the ecosystem of enterprise IT. To illustrate, in March 2025, STACK Infrastructure launched additional modular layers for API integration capability in its facilities that facilitate interaction between leasing platforms, ERP systems, and real-time tools. This paradigm shift also indicates the broader trend of the market moving towards embedded infrastructure solutions actually built on speed, interoperability and end-to-end visibility for financial and digital enterprises.
