Revenue in the global data center market is forecast to reach US$538.91 billion in 2026, and the United States alone accounts for US$168.51 billion of that total, the largest share of any country, according to Statista Market Insights.

The US position at the top of the country ranking reflects the concentration of server, storage and network hardware spending inside American facilities. Statista measures the market at the level of revenue paid to primary vendors, covering hardware bought by enterprises, governments and consumers through both direct and distribution channels.

Segment data shows where the money goes. Network infrastructure leads with a projected market volume of US$284.01 billion in 2026, more than half of the worldwide total. That category covers routers, switches, ethernet hardware and infrastructure firewalls. Servers and storage make up the remaining two segments.

Growth across all segments is running at 11.6 percent in 2026. Looking further out, Statista applies a compound annual growth rate of 8.48 percent for the 2026 to 2031 period, carrying worldwide revenue to US$809.59 billion by 2031. That trajectory adds roughly US$270 billion of annual revenue to the market over five years.

Statista builds the figures using a top-down model drawn from annual financial reports and national statistical offices, adjusted with country-level indicators such as GDP and level of digitization. The firm names Dell, HPE, Huawei and Ericsson among the key vendors. Cloud hosting services including AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform sit outside the measured scope, as does data center software.
