Guangdong Province is one of the earliest provinces in China to deploy the digital economy, and the scale of the digital economy has ranked first in the country for four consecutive years. The rapid development of the digital economy has driven a large demand for the data center industry in Guangdong Province, and at the same time puts forward more and higher requirements for the data center industry in the region.
Data center market size maintains 20% growth rate
With the rapid development of the digital economy in Guangdong Province, the average growth rate of the data center market in Guangdong Province has remained above 20%. In 2021, affected by factors such as the slowdown in demand growth in the Internet industry, the data center market in Guangdong Province will be 16.4 billion yuan, and the growth rate will slow down. As the national pandemic subsides, the market will gradually pick up.
The Core Area Becomes a Scarce Resource
The Internet and manufacturing industries in Guangzhou and Shenzhen have a strong demand for data centers, and are the main source of demand in Guangdong and even the Pearl River Delta. Affected by the limitations of supporting resources related to data centers such as electricity and land, data center resources in the core cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen have become scarce resources.
