The global IDC market scale reaches

  

In 2015, the global IDC market reached 38.46 billion US dollars

In 2015, the global demand for IDC continued to grow. The overall market size reached US $38.46 billion, with a growth rate of 17.3%, which was higher than that in 2014. Technological innovation and the application of cloud computing technology have greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the market, which is the main reason for maintaining the growth of IDC market.

 2009-2014 Global IDC Market Size and Growth Rate

Global IDC market size from 2009 to 2015 (US $100 million)

In 2015, the domestic IDC market reached 51.86 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 39.3%

In 2015, China's IDC market continued its rapid growth trend, with a total market size of 51.86 billion yuan, up 39.3% year on year. IDC market growth declined significantly in 2012 and 2013. In 2014, the government strengthened policy guidance and opened IDC licenses. At the same time, mobile Internet, video, games and other emerging industries developed rapidly, pushing the development of IDC industry back to the fast lane. The market size was increased to 37.22 billion yuan, an increase of 41.8%. By 2014 to 2015, policy guidance had initially taken effect, broadband acceleration and the rapid growth of the Internet industry promoted the rapid development of IDC industry, The overall market growth was stable at about 40%.

Four characteristics of the domestic IDC market in 2015

1、 The technology of modular products is mature, and it is the first application in the Internet industry

With the emergence of cloud computing technology, the construction of data centers shows a trend of large-scale and intensive. According to the traditional construction mode, it will take about 2 years to build a large data center from the early planning and design to the acceptance and delivery for operation. The business of customers in the Internet, big data and other industries grew rapidly, The IT equipment is updated quickly, and the business transformation cycle is short. The original design may not meet the business needs. Therefore, Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent and other Internet enterprises have adopted modular data center products when building new data centers, all of which have benefited from the construction cycle, energy consumption and full life cycle costs. It is conservatively estimated that the number of micro modules in 2015 has reached more than 1100, more than double the number in 2014, and it is expected that the number in 2016 will be close to 2000.

2、 Cloud service providers quickly cut into CDN, driving market competition to become fiercer

In 2015, The CDN market continues to grow at a high speed, CDN manufacturers' performance improved significantly. At the same time, driven by cloud computing services such as video cloud, such Internet giants as Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud have accelerated network construction and node layout with their own strong financial strength. On the one hand, in order to meet their own business needs and improve users' network experience; On the other hand, the huge CDN service capability is used to expand the commercial market and become its core product. CDN vendors and cloud computing giants compete with each other for enterprise customers, resulting in multiple reductions in the price of CDN services, and the intensity of the market can be seen.

3、 The bottleneck of energy saving in the data center is highlighted, and the policy level has entered the pilot stage
At present, there is still a certain gap between China's data centers and advanced data centers in Europe and the United States, including technical level and PUE energy consumption indicators. The PUE value of China's small and medium-sized data centers is generally 2.2-3. Although the PUE value of newly built large-scale data centers has decreased, the overall PUE value is larger than the international average of 1.3-2. In October 2015, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the State Agency Affairs Administration and the National Energy Administration decided to carry out the pilot work of green data center. 14 national green data center pilot areas were announced, including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou and Ningxia, and 103 projects were involved in 6 fields, including manufacturing, energy, telecommunications, Internet, public institutions and finance. By 2017, hundreds of green data center pilots will be created around key areas, and the energy efficiency of the pilot data centers will increase by more than 8% on average. Four national standards related to green data centers will be formulated, and 40 advanced and applicable technologies, products, and best practices for operation and maintenance management of green data centers will be promoted.

4、 Foreign funded enterprises accelerate market development and share the market cake through technical cooperation

Google, Microsoft, Amazon and other products are mature, and the global brand influence is great. These international cloud service providers, which are deeply engaged in cloud computing and have many years of practical experience, have not yet obtained relevant qualifications and licenses. At present, most of these enterprises provide services to Chinese users through cooperation with domestic IDC service providers and cloud service providers, and gradually become a major camp in China's cloud computing market. At present, the cooperation formed includes: IBM and Microsoft and 21Vianet, Amazon and Halo New Network Oracle and Tencent Cloud.
