Canada Data Center Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Canada Data Center Market according to our research experts:

Tier 3 is the largest Tier Type

  • Increased use of IoT platforms by varying sectors, such as manufacturing, agriculture, and cities, has contributed to the growing data consumption, which has triggered the demand for data centers in Canada.
  • For instance, out of the 189,874 farms in Canada, autosteer equipment are currently used by 27%, GPS mapping by 13%, drone usage at 3.5%, and robotic milkers at 1.2%. Agriculture IoT may help farmers increase their profitability by providing real-time insights about the crops.
  • Similarly, IoT platforms used in the manufacturing sector may help companies improvise supply chain processes and increase their profitability. As IoT platforms have started gaining traction, these huge amounts of generated data may require an increasing number of servers to process them faster.
  • Since tier 4 data centers offer higher bandwidth speed, low latency, better connectivity, disaster recovery options and others, most companies opt for tier 4 data centers. These data centers help companies cater to their growing business requirements, optimize efficiency, and offer better services to the consumer. Tier 4 data centers are anticipated to record a CAGR of 22.68%, which is quite higher than the growth of tier 3 at 5.79% and tier 1&2 at 0.76%.

Market Definition

  • IT LOAD CAPACITY - The IT load capacity or installed capacity, refers to the amount of energy consumed by servers and network equipments placed in a rack installed. It is measured in megawatt (MW).
  • ABSORPTION RATE - It denotes the extend to which the data center capacity has been leased out. For instance, a 100 MW DC has leased out 75 MW, then absorption rate would be 75%. It is also referred as utilization rate and leased-out capacity.
  • RAISED FLOOR SPACE - It is an elevated space build over the floor. This gap between the original floor and the elevated floor is used to accommodate wiring, cooling, and other data center equipment. This arrangement assist in having proper wiring and cooling infrastructure. It is measured in square feet (ft^2).
  • DATA CENTER SIZE - Data Center Size is segmented based on the raised floor space allocated to the data center facilities. Mega DC - # of Racks must be more than 9000 or RFS (raised floor space) must be more than 225001 Sq. ft; Massive DC - # of Racks must be in between 9000 and 3001 or RFS must be in between 225000 Sq. ft and 75001 Sq. ft; Large DC - # of Racks must be in between 3000 and 801 or RFS must be in between 75000 Sq. ft and 20001 Sq. ft; Medium DC # of Racks must be in between 800 and 201 or RFS must be in between 20000 Sq. ft and 5001 Sq. ft; Small DC - # of Racks must be less than 200 or RFS must be less than 5000 Sq. ft.
  • TIER TYPE - According to Uptime Institute the data centers are classified into four tiers based on the proficiencies of redundant equipment of the data center infrastructure. In this segment the data center are segmented as Tier 1,Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4.
  • COLOCATION TYPE - The segment is segregated into 3 categories namely Retail, Wholesale and Hyperscale Colocation service. The categorization is done based on the amount of IT load leased out to potential customers. Retail colocation service has leased capacity less than 250 kW; Wholesale colocation services has leased capacity between 251 kW and 4 MW and Hyperscale colocation services has leased capacity more than 4 MW.
  • END CONSUMERS - The Data Center Market operates on a B2B basis. BFSI, Government, Cloud Operators, Media and Entertainment, E-Commerce, Telecom and Manufacturing are the major end-consumers in the market studied. The scope only includes colocation service operators catering to the increasing digitalization of the end-user industries.
