Did you know that the United States accounts for roughly 38% of global power demand by data centers? Check out this eye-opening Visual Capitalist infographic of the Top-50 Data Center markets in terms of electricity consumption. The assessment was conducted by Creator Content ambassador, Julie Peasley, and writer Freny Fernandes. China (13.5%), Japan (5.9%), United Kingdom (5.6%), and Germany (5.3%) round out the top 5 country markets. With 18.7 gigawatts of capacity, the 50 datacenter clusters require a massive amount of electricity. Every two years, the volume of data across the world doubles in size, and by as early as 2025, there might be more than 175 zettabytes of raw data stored. That’s a lot of data needing analysis. Enjoy!
