Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Data Colocation Market

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global economy severely as it has affected various sectors such as BFSI, energy, and IT & telecom significantly. The pandemic has led to lockdown restrictions being imposed in the majority of the countries around the world, which has resulted in supply chain disruptions in the industrial sector. Additionally, the pandemic has resulted in the shutting down or halting of manufacturing units, delays in the completion of several projects, and among other adverse effects. Thus, the global market has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the data colocation market is growing at a significant rate owing to the rising demand for data collection, analysis, and storage. Such factors showcase a strong demand for data centers. Companies such as Microsoft Corporation, Facebook, Google Inc., Verizon, Zoom, and Netflix have seen a huge surge in data traffic due to the lockdown restrictions implemented worldwide. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 and strict lockdown measures have posed several challenges across industries. These abovementioned factors are expected to influence the data colocation market over the next few months.
