Data Center Rack PDU Market to Hit $5.47 Billion by 2034 as AI Lifts Demand

1 articles · Updated · Straits Research · Aug 24

Summary

  • $5.47 billion is the projected size of the global data center rack PDU market by 2034, up from $2.80 billion in 2026, implying an 8.7% annual growth rate.
  • AI-driven rack density, remote power management and real-time monitoring are pushing operators toward metered, switched and higher-capacity PDUs in hyperscale and colocation facilities.
  • North America held the largest share at 38.7% in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is forecast to expand fastest at a 10.6% CAGR as new cloud and AI infrastructure is built out.
  • The market still faces bottlenecks from scarce microcontrollers, copper exposure, retrofit costs and cybersecurity demands for networked power units, even as vendors expand capacity and launch new products.
