Dublin, July 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "South America Data Center Server - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts 2019 - 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The South America data center server market reached a value of USD 3.2 billion and it is further projected to register a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for cloud computing among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), government regulations for local data security, and growing investment by domestic players are some of the major factors driving the demand for data centers in the region.

Key Highlights

  • The upcoming IT load capacity of the South America data center construction market is expected to reach 1800 MW by 2029.
  • The region's construction of raised floor area is expected to increase 7.8 million sq. ft by 2029.
  • The region's total number of racks to be installed is expected to reach 392K units by 2029. Brazil is expected to house the maximum number of racks by 2029.
  • There are close to 60 submarine cable systems connecting South America, and many are under construction. One such submarine cable that is estimated to start service in 2025 is Carnival Submarine Network-1 (CSN-1), which stretches over 4500 Kilometers with a landing point in Barranquilla, Colombia.

South America Data Center Server Market Trends

IT & Telecommunication Segment Holds The Major Share

  • Cloud service providers are the main contributors to South America's data center storage market. Expanding cloud presence through establishing multiple cloud regions across countries like Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Argentina is expected to drive high-performance storage adoption in the market.
  • In 2021, all-flash and hybrid storage systems contributed to around 65% of the market revenue, whereas traditional HDD-based systems dominated in terms of capacity. Around 25% of large enterprises in Brazil have adopted artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies, contributing to the strong growth of high-performance storage systems in the market. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) was the leading business model of Brazilian startups, accounting for more than 41% of emerging companies in the country. With platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), SaaS is one of Brazil's three principal categories of cloud computing.
  • In Argentina, the evolution of the legal and regulatory environment for cloud computing has been faster and more in line with recent technological developments compared to other regional countries. Recently, Amazon Web Services announced plans to invest approximately USD 800 million over a decade in a new data center in Argentina.
  • Further, the IT sector contributed 2.7% to Chile's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2021. Many data centers run by well-known companies, like Google, Century Link, Huawei, and HP, and regional telcos Entel and Gtd are already located in Chile. These companies have taken advantage of the expanding demand from an increasingly technological corporate sector migrating to the cloud. As more players enter, Colombia is emerging as the next major South American market. Huawei targets a dedicated physical location for its cloud infrastructure and is expecting to activate a new cloud point-of-presence (PoP) in Colombia.
  • The Argentine government is implementing a 'cloud first' policy by investing in and developing a robust national data center at ARSAT.
  • In the telecom end-user segment of the South American data center market, Latin America and the Caribbean are expected to have 398 million 5G connections by 2027, which result in more data consumption in the coming years. All municipalities with at least 200,000 residents in Brazil are expected to have a 5G network by July 2026, with at least one antenna. Brazil's 5G spectrum auction held in October 2021 raised about USD 8.5 billion. By 2035, introducing 5G in Brazil may have a USD 1.2 trillion economic impact and a USD 3 trillion productivity boost. Around 10% of network connections are expected to be 5G in South America by 2025. Thus, the above instances result in increased demand for space in data centers and, consequently, the need for more servers within data centers.

Brazil Holds The Major Share And Is Expected To Continue The Dominance During The Study Period.

  • Brazil holds the largest share of the South American data center market. The Brazilian government provides incentives through the Regime Especial de Tributacao do Programa Nacional de Banda Larga (REPNBL) program, which includes incentives for purchasing infrastructure that helps improve colocation services in the country.
  • Further, factors such as increasing internet penetration and digital payments, growing e-commerce sales and others driving the demand for data storage and processing have increased, which resulted in creating more need for data center servers in the region.
  • For instance, in July 2022, 5G technology in the prime 3.5 GHz band was launched in Brazil with the activation of hundreds of antennas by three national operators in the capital, Brasilia. Activating a 5G 3.5 GHz standalone (SA) network, that is, not relying on existing bands or transmission equipment, was made possible after the technical liberation of the frequency in the capital. Under regulator Anatel's rules, all 26 state capitals were supposed to have commercial 5G in the 3.5GHz band activated by the end of September 2022. The adoption rate of the total connections is expected to grow from 1% to 11% by 2025.
  • The State of Sao Paulo is expected to advance its digital transformation process to improve the quality and efficiency of public services to citizens, with a USD 164 million loan approved by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Beyond successful startups, access to capital is one of the city's strengths: Brazilian startups raised a record USD 9.43 billion in 2021, 165.63% more than in 2020. Sao Paulo has 2,677 startups active in 34 sectors, and of these, 70% are concentrated in the capital, which may lead to major growth in the massive and large data size construction.
  • Furthermore, In January 2023, Brazilian telecom services company Telecall announced plans to expand its fiber optics network to interconnect the primary data centers in Rio de Janeiro. The three new redundant and underground fiber routes, totaling 80 km, will be deployed by Telecall to connect at least four new data centers installed in Rio de Janeiro. Overall, Brazil is a major hub for data center locations. Such investments across the country increase demand for space in data centers and, consequently, the need for more servers within data centers in the coming years.
