Market Overview
Data Centers process megabytes of data every month which means a lot of energy is needed to power them. The more energy consumed; the more carbon gets released into the environment. Carbon neutrality is when an organization efficiently uses energy and balance out carbon emissions through carbon removal.
According to the MarkNtel Advisors’ research report, "Global Carbon Neutral Data Center Market Analysis, 2021," the market is likely to grow at a CAGR of around 23% during 2021-26. The Carbon Neutral Data Centers are beneficial for reducing an organization’s carbon footprints. The market growth attributes to the ongoing digital transformation in various businesses that have aided the amount of data produced. Besides, the surging imposition of numerous policies & environmental regulations laid by the government to reduce carbon emissions like the International Climate Agreement has further boosted the Global Carbon Neutral Data Center Market growth.
Impact of COVID-19
The lockdown imposed & travel restrictions commenced by the governments in the wake of the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic restricted the growth of most of the end-user industries across the globe. These stringent norms and guidelines undertaken by the government have disrupted the entire supply chain of the data center industry. Additionally, the lockdown has also resulted in restricting the imports and exports of various raw materials, equipment, and devices, which are crucial for the operation of the data centers, thereby bringing many ongoing projects to a standstill position. Thus, negatively impacting the overall market growth.
