Internet Data Center Market Summary

IDC (Internet Data Center) is a type of facility that provides infrastructure and services for hosting, storing, processing, and transmitting data over the internet. IDCs typically consist of servers, storage devices, network equipment, power supply, cooling systems, security systems, and management software. IDCs enable various applications and functions that require high-speed internet access and data processing, such as cloud computing, e-commerce, online gaming, streaming media, social networking, and big data analytics.

According to the new market research report "China Internet Data Center Market Report 2025-2031", published by QYResearch, the China Internet Data Center market size is projected to reach USD 62.66 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 12.1% during the forecast period.

Driving Factors

Generative AI, large-scale model training, and inference are becoming the biggest drivers of the data center industry. With the widespread adoption of applications like ChatGPT, Wenxin Yiyan, and Sora, enterprise demand for high-performance GPU clusters and supercomputing resources is exploding. The power density of traditional data center racks can no longer meet the demand, and the industry is rapidly evolving towards higher density, liquid cooling, and intelligent scheduling. AI not only requires massive computing power but also demands that data centers have flexible scalability and low latency capabilities, directly driving the upgrade and innovation of data center architecture.

Industries such as retail, e-commerce, finance, manufacturing, and logistics are accelerating their digital transformation, making data centers a critical infrastructure supporting core business operations. Enterprises not only need stable storage and computing but also rely on data centers for real-time analysis, intelligent recommendations, supply chain optimization, and improved customer experience. As the concept of "computing power equals productivity" gains widespread acceptance, data centers are no longer just back-end support but directly participate in enterprise value creation, becoming a crucial engine for industrial upgrading and competitiveness enhancement.

The strategic deployments of internet giants such as Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, and ByteDance are a direct force driving the development of the data center industry. These companies often build or lease customized ultra-large data centers to meet the high concurrency and high computing power demands of their e-commerce, social media, search, video, and AI training businesses. They not only deploy nodes domestically but also expand their cloud services globally, driving the international development of data centers. The continuous investment and innovation of these giants have driven upgrades in scale, technology, and ecosystem across the entire industry, creating a strong demonstration effect and a driving force for the entire industrial chain.

Risks

Data centers are major energy consumers. As computing power demands continue to rise, energy consumption and carbon emissions become increasingly prominent. Under the "dual carbon" goals and policy requirements, companies must accelerate the application of green and energy-saving technologies, such as liquid cooling and renewable energy; otherwise, they may face policy restrictions, rising operating costs, and social responsibility pressures.

The rapid development of AI, large-scale models, and cloud computing is driving continuous upgrades to data centers, but rapid technological iteration also brings investment risks. If companies invest insufficiently or in the wrong direction in hardware, architecture, or site selection, their facilities may become outdated, their computing power insufficient, or they may be unable to meet future needs, thus affecting competitiveness and return on assets.

Data centers carry a large amount of sensitive information and face threats from hacker attacks, data breaches, and network intrusions. At the same time, data compliance requirements are becoming increasingly stringent globally (such as GDPR and restrictions on cross-border data flows). Companies that fail to meet compliance standards may face legal penalties, reputational damage, and a crisis of customer trust.
