The United States is projected to generate roughly $168.51 billion in data center revenue in 2026, according to Statista market data, underscoring the scale of infrastructure spending tied to cloud computing and AI. The figure places the US as the largest single national market within a rapidly expanding global sector.

Other research firms track the US market on similar upward trajectories using different methodologies. Mordor Intelligence values the US data center market at about $122 billion in 2026, growing at a compound annual rate of 6.64 percent toward $168 billion by 2031, while Precedence Research projects US market growth at an 11.30 percent compound annual rate from 2026 through 2035. The range reflects differing definitions of what each firm includes, but all point to sustained double-digit or high single-digit expansion.

Spending on the equipment inside these facilities is climbing even faster. Global data center systems spending grew 48.8 percent in 2025 and is forecast to reach $582.45 billion in 2026, driven by demand for the servers, networking, and cooling systems that AI workloads require.

The common thread across the estimates is an infrastructure market scaling quickly to meet computing demand. Rising revenue and equipment spending reflect the construction wave visible in markets like Georgia, Virginia, and Texas, where operators are committing billions to new campuses. The data positions data centers as one of the largest and fastest-growing categories of technology infrastructure investment in the country.
