Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Market Research Report: By Component (Solutions, Services), Application (Asset Management, Capacity Planning, Power Monitoring, Environmental Monitoring, BI and Analytics), Data Center Type (Enterprise Data Center, Managed Data Center, Colocation Data Center, Cloud and Edge Data Center), Deployment Model (On-Premises, Cloud), Organization Size (SMEs, Large Enterprises), Vertical (BFSI, Government and Public Sector, IT and ITeS, Manufacturing, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Telecommunications) - Global Industry Analysis and Growth Forecast to 2030

Market Overview

The global data center infrastructure management (DCIM) market stood at ~$1.5 billion in 2020. The need for gaining end-to-end visibility for predicting capacity management requirements, efforts to improve data center uptime and energy efficiency, rising demand for sustainability and a low carbon footprint, and increasing number of hyperscale data centers are helping in the growth of the global data center infrastructure management market.

The COVID-19 pandemic initially had a negative impact on the construction of data centers, as lockdowns and social distancing measures led to laborers heading back home. But, as more corporate companies began to shift to remote working, the load on the existing infrastructure increased significantly, which is now projected to increase the demand for DCIM solutions.

Asset Management Category To Hold Largest Market Share During Forecast Period

The asset management category is expected to hold the largest market share in 2030, on the basis of application. IT asset management is becoming more difficult, as the complexities of the systems are increasing. Many small organizations use pen, paper, and spreadsheet-based solutions to track the IT assets. This conventional way cannot deal with the growing pace of IT infrastructure development. Furthermore, an organization can expect, on average, a 15% error rate when tracking the assets manually. The asset management capabilities offered by DCIM solutions help in the tracking and management of the equipment within the organization in an automated and convenient way.

Due to Rising Need to Reduce Unplanned Downtime, On-Premises Category To Hold Larger Market Share in 2030

The on-premises DCIM bifurcation will generate the higher revenue in 2030, based on deployment model in the data center infrastructure management market. These are based on the physical environment and play a crucial role in any organization. Data on infrastructure availability, power consumption, humidity, airflow, temperature, and other aspects of the data center operations can be monitored. The monitoring of all of these parameters is highly crucial to prevent the loss of revenue and crucial data.  

With Rising Investments in Infrastructure by Developing Nations, APAC To Record Highest CAGR during Forecast Period

Globally, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) data center infrastructure management market is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The adoption of advanced digital technologies, such as machine learning and the internet of things (IoT), is increasing in India, China, and Japan. Furthermore, the government of these countries is promoting data centers, as well as investing heavily in infrastructure development. According to the Data Centre Policy 2020 of India’s Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, the government is working to make India a global data center hub, by promoting investments in the sector, thus propelling the digital economy growth.

Deployment of 5G Network Is Major Trend in Market

5G will allow data to move around more easily between locations. This new communication technology is expected to provide support for massive machine-to-machine communications, with 100,000 connections per square kilometer. Furthermore, 5G is expected to play a pivotal role in supporting governments and policymakers in transforming their cities into smart cities, thereby allowing citizens to realize and partake in the socio-economic benefits delivered by an advanced, data-intensive, digital economy. Therefore, policymakers will have to construct and upgrade passive assets, such as fiber networks and data centers. Therefore, the increasing deployment of the 5G network is a major trend in the market for data center infrastructure management.

Need for End-To-End Visibility for Predicting Capacity Management Requirements Key Market Driver

A data center strategy has to be planned in such a way that the systems never malfunction in any condition. Data center managers have to make sure that their data center strategy stays ahead and is able to cope with the expanding organizations’ needs, while keeping in mind the sudden peak in customer requirements. DCIM offers visibility and insights by monitoring various parameters, such as the performance of data center servers and computers, security uptime, and network operations, and resolving network problems as they arise. Therefore, the need for DCIM solutions is increasing to enhance organizations’ decision-making process and improve data centers’ uptime with better energy efficiency.
