A new industry report projects rapid growth in the North American data center construction market through 2030, driven largely by massive investments from global technology firms. As digital demand surges and artificial intelligence workloads scale, leading tech companies are accelerating their infrastructure expansion across the U.S. and Canada.

“Demand for AI infrastructure, cloud computing, and hyperscale facilities is reshaping the landscape,” the report states. Major players such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta are pouring billions into new data center campuses, many of which are being designed to support next-generation computing and vast data processing capabilities.

The report notes that the current construction boom is not just about building bigger facilities—but smarter, more efficient ones. “Green building standards and power availability are becoming key differentiators,” analysts point out, as energy-efficient design and access to sustainable power sources emerge as top priorities.

In addition to the hyperscale giants, regional developers and contractors are finding opportunity in the rising demand for colocation facilities and edge data centers. “North America remains at the forefront of global data center activity,” the report continues, adding that “regional players are facing mounting pressure to innovate and scale quickly.”

Construction companies, engineering firms, and equipment suppliers are also experiencing increased competition as they rush to keep pace with evolving technology demands. The report highlights a shift toward modular construction, integrated cooling systems, and strategic site selection near renewable energy resources.

As the digital economy continues to evolve, the report concludes that collaboration between technology firms, utility providers, and construction stakeholders will be critical to meeting future infrastructure needs.
