DCPI Revenue to Hit $120 Billion by 2030 as AI Buildout Adds Nearly 200 GW

1 articles · Updated · delloro.com · Aug 19

Summary

  • $120 billion in worldwide DCPI manufacturer revenue is projected for 2030, with the market growing at a 22% CAGR from 2025 as AI-driven data center expansion becomes the sector’s baseline.
  • Nearly 200 GW of data center capacity is expected to be added through 2030, with annual additions peaking in 2026 and then moderating while still staying in double-digit growth territory.
  • Thermal management is forecast to lead segment growth, with liquid cooling becoming essential for denser racks and water-cooled chillers outpacing air-cooled units on scalability.
  • North America is set to lead capacity additions, followed by China, while hyperscalers and colocation providers anchor demand and AI-specialized cloud operators emerge as one of the fastest-growing customer groups.
  • Delivery constraints now pose the main risk: equipment lead times, construction labor, grid interconnection, permitting and community opposition are slowing projects, with EMEA revised down and a statewide data center moratorium already in force.

Insights

As AI demands push data centers to the brink, will grid limits and community backlash crash the $120 billion infrastructure boom?
Could the massive shift to liquid-cooled, high-voltage architectures render today's billion-dollar data centers obsolete overnight?
