Chapter 2: Summary and Highlights
This report analyzes the market for colocation data centers globally and in the USA. Colocation data centers are being preferred by many industry verticals due to their increasing data needs. Data centers serve mainly to the cloud, technology, banking and financial services and healthcare industries.

Colocation data centers are classified in to two main segments, retail and wholesale. The retail segment is larger than the wholesale due to the increased use of IoT in small and medium enterprises which prefer convenience and space saving of external data centers.

Going forward, this market is expected to grow further due to the increase in out sourcing data centers, growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data across all the industries.
The global colocation data centers market in 2016 was estimated to be around $ 30.9 billion. During 2016-2020 global colocation data centers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.4%, to reach $54.8 billion by the year 2020.

This growth can be attributed to the expansion of major cloud and colocation companies to new geographies. And the market is expected to increase in Asian countries such as China and Singapore due to the increasing use of big data and ERP (enterprise resource planning) across all the industries and government regulations to restrict the amount data storage in the local region.

The total revenues from cloud, technology and banking, financial services, and insurance were $17.8 billion. This large share of revenues can be attributed to increasing demand from cloud operators, growth in outsourcing data centers and increasing demand from financial services industry.

In 2016, the USA colocation data centers market accounted for 45.4% market, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific with 28.1% and 17.5% market respectively.
The global colocation data centers market is relatively fragmented, with only two global players having more than a 5% market share.

Equinix was the largest company with 8.5% of the market, followed by other companies such as Digital Reality, NTT Data with and CenturyLink (Cyxtera).

To be successful any colocation datacenter provider should partner with cloud companies and offer its services to target wider customer base. They should provide additional facilities such as interconnection and firewall management to differentiate their service from others. These facilities will reduce upfront costs for colocation customers and make colocation data centers more attractive in an increasingly competitive market.
