Canada Data Center Market Trends



Tier 3 is the largest Tier Type




  • Increased use of IoT platforms by varying sectors, such as manufacturing, agriculture, and cities, has contributed to the growing data consumption, which has triggered the demand for data centers in Canada.

  • For instance, out of the 189,874 farms in Canada, autosteer equipment are currently used by 27%, GPS mapping by 13%, drone usage at 3.5%, and robotic milkers at 1.2%. Agriculture IoT may help farmers increase their profitability by providing real-time insights about the crops.

  • Similarly, IoT platforms used in the manufacturing sector may help companies improvise supply chain processes and increase their profitability. As IoT platforms have started gaining traction, these huge amounts of generated data may require an increasing number of servers to process them faster.

  • Since tier 4 data centers offer higher bandwidth speed, low latency, better connectivity, disaster recovery options and others, most companies opt for tier 4 data centers. These data centers help companies cater to their growing business requirements, optimize efficiency, and offer better services to the consumer. Tier 4 data centers are anticipated to record a CAGR of 22.68%, which is quite higher than the growth of tier 3 at 5.79% and tier 1&2 at 0.76%.
