Core tip: In 2014, China's IDC market grew rapidly, with the market size reaching 37.22 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth rate of 41.8%, and the global IDC market reached 32.79 billion dollars. Asia Pacific is the main driver of its growth rate
China's IDC circle reported on June 5 that in 2014, the global economic recovery was basically consolidated, and the growth differentiation was gradually obvious. In the United States and the euro area, the economic development has improved compared with 2013. Some IT manufacturers in developed countries in Europe and the United States began to accelerate their transformation, and Internet manufacturers still maintained a high growth rate. In the IDC field, the growth rate of the global IDC market rose slightly in 2014, with the overall market size reaching $32.79 billion, a growth rate of 15.3%.

Global IDC market size from 2009 to 2014 (US $100 million)
According to the analysis of the latest Research Report on China's IDC Industry Development 2014-2015 released by China's IDC circle, the global IDC market could reach 32.79 billion US dollars in 2014. Asia Pacific is the main driving force for its growth rate. Due to the increased investment in data centers by IT enterprises, Internet enterprises and telecommunications enterprises in the Asia Pacific region, the overall market has been promoted, Among them, the rise of China's Internet industry has led the growth of IDC demand in emerging economies such as Asia.
From 2009 to 2014, the compound growth rate of China's IDC market reached 38.6%. From the development stage, the IDC market was in a period of rapid growth from 2009 to 2011, with the growth rate maintained at more than 40%. From 2012 to 2013, the overall market growth rate declined to below 25% due to the macroeconomic downturn. In 2014, China's IDC market grew rapidly, reaching 37.22 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth rate of 41.8%.

China's IDC market size from 2009 to 2014 (100 million yuan)
By 2017, the size of China's IDC market will exceed 90 billion yuan, with a growth rate of nearly 40%. Considering the market environment, the Research Report on China's IDC Industry Development 2014-2015 predicts that the IDC market growth rate will be stable at more than 30% in the next three years.

Forecast of China's IDC market size from 2014 to 2017 (100 million yuan)
2014 was the first year that China's cloud computing and data center industry standards and specifications were officially launched. In terms of cloud computing, the trusted cloud certification, which was guided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and promoted by the Data Center Alliance and the Cloud Computing Development and Policy Forum, has passed three batches of certification. In terms of green data centers, the government's mandatory standards for the construction of green data centers have been implemented in 2014. In terms of network, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has continued to promote the broadband China strategy. The construction project of national level Internet backbone direct connection points in seven cities, Chengdu, Xi'an, Wuhan, Shenyang, Nanjing, Chongqing and Zhengzhou, has been fully put into use. The direct investment in the project has reached 2.92 billion yuan. The interconnection capacity between networks has been 6676G, 810G has been opened, exceeding the annual expansion target of 500G, At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is also actively promoting the development of IDC industry standards, and relevant standards will be released in succession. The implementation of these policies marks that China's IDC market will gradually connect with the world's advanced countries in the direction of safe and controllable cloud computing, green and energy-saving data centers, and network connectivity. This series of government actions undoubtedly laid a solid policy foundation for the next big step development of the domestic IDC market.
In addition to government support, the rising demand of Internet users will provide a huge market space for the development of the domestic IDC market in the next three years. As of December 2014, the number of Internet users in China had reached 649 million, with a total of 31.17 million new Internet users in the whole year. The Internet penetration rate was 47.9%, 2.1 percentage points higher than that at the end of 2013. Among them, the number of mobile Internet users reached 557 million, and the proportion of Internet users who use mobile phones to access the Internet rose from 81.0% in 2013 to 85.8%. The number of users of video, online shopping, payment and other applications continued to grow at a high speed, of which the number of online video users reached 433 million, with a utilization rate of 66.7%, and the number of mobile video users reached 313 million, with a growth rate of 26.8%. At the end of 2014, The number of online shopping users in China has reached 361 million, with a growth rate of 19.7%. The proportion of Internet users using online shopping has increased from 48.9% to 55.7%. The number of mobile payment users driven by this has reached 217 million, with a growth rate of 73.2%. The proportion of Internet users using mobile payment has increased from 25.1% to 39.0%. On the whole, the Internet will be more widely used, Among them, the application of mobile phones has seen explosive growth. In the future, the IDC market will maintain steady growth under the trend of continuous increase in Internet user demand.
Of course, the scale of the domestic IDC market can exceed 90 billion by 2017, with a growth rate of nearly 40%. In this process, the continuous improvement of IDC service providers' own services and technological innovation will also be important factors.
The first is technology. In 2014, the "Scorpio Alliance" and the Telecommunication Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology established the Open Data Center Committee to further promote the research and development of the whole cabinet and micro module technology. The improvement of the technical standards of the whole cabinet and the micro module has brought challenges to IDC rooms. Most of the existing IDC rooms are still unable to meet the requirements of the whole cabinet and the micro module in terms of power, cooling and load bearing. As the installed capacity and influence scope of the whole cabinet and micro module gradually expand, IDC service providers are also facing greater challenges in the cost of computer room transformation. How to solve the contradiction between meeting customer needs and reducing costs has become a problem worthy of consideration for IDC service providers. In cloud computing, emerging public cloud service providers have made greater investment in technology and product research and development, while traditional IDC service providers still have greater room for improvement in cloud platform and product optimization due to their limited technical capabilities. The secondary development and application testing based on open source software is still the main direction that each service provider needs to deal with at the technical level. In terms of hardware infrastructure, the optimization of traditional x86 architecture and RISC architecture for cloud computing applications is still the focus of chip manufacturers. Realizing the optimization of the underlying hardware infrastructure, virtualization and cloud platform, as well as the optimization of the upper layer for applications in different industries, will be an important challenge for the entire ecosystem at the technical level.
Secondly, the service level. In 2014, the competition in the traditional IDC service market became more and more fierce. Some IDC service providers focusing on e-commerce, games, video, finance and other fields provided targeted industrial solutions to customers, such as pay as you go and SLA guarantee for network expansion in e-commerce promotion stage, and network node optimization for game and video manufacturers, High power customized services and security service optimization for the financial industry. Whether IDC service providers can provide differentiated services for sub industries in the future is a key factor determining the competitiveness of IDC service providers.
With the continuous release of China's Internet service demand and the continuous innovation and progress of big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things and other emerging technologies, users' demand for data centers continues to increase, The future development prospect of IDC market is very considerable.
