The global micro mobile data center market was valued USD 3 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 16.6% during the forecast period, 2021-2028.
A micro mobile data center is a self-contained infrastructure design that incorporates the storage, processing, and networking elements required to operate indoor and outdoor applications in a secure computing environment. Micro mobile data centers are available in standardized prefabricated sizes, allowing data center owners to save cost and time spent on traditional data center construction.
Micro mobile data centers are suited for usage in applications such as instant data centers, remote office and branch office, and edge computing due to their small size and flexibility. Micro mobile data centers are used by distribution centers that require high computing power to monitor inventory, transactions, and shipping data in order to process orders more efficiently and rapidly.
Additionally, retailers are working on increasing in-store processing capability in order to provide customers with real-time discounts and market products that customers are most likely to purchase.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Growing demand for high-performance, energy-efficient, and cost-effective data center solutions is driving the micro mobile data center market.
- Rising demand for plug-and-play data centers as businesses have become more centralized is estimated to spur the market growth.
- Increasing deployment of cloud services application in several industries is anticipated to fuel the growth of the market.
- Expanding emphasis on cost efficiency and low power consumption is one of the major driving factors of the market.
- Traditional data centers are frequently built-to-order and allow for customization based on the user's surroundings. For its standardized design and prefabricated modules, micro mobile data center providers do not provide fully customized solutions or the flexibility of allowing the supplier to choose their service provider. This lack of flexibility and limited purchasing options restrain the worldwide micro mobile data center market's growth.
- High initial setup cost can create challenges for the market.
- Lack of knowledge about advantages of micro-mobile data centers is restraining the market growth.
- This rise in demand for real-time computing is anticipated to accelerate the micro mobile data center market.

Global Micro data center market segment insights
Edge computing segment is estimated to account a major market share
Based on applications, the market can be segmented into instant data center, remote office and branch, and edge computing. The edge computing segment is estimated to grow significantly at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Traditional data centers and server closets have large upfront costs, but micro mobile data centers are less expensive and take up less space.
Connecting billions of devices to the cloud poses various issues, including bandwidth constraints, data security risks, and decreased connectivity across computing infrastructure. As the physical infrastructure is closer to the source data, edge computing has the ability to avoid such concerns. Micro mobile data centers are ideal for enterprises that want to take advantage of low latency edge computing.
20 RU to 40 RU segment to constitute a considerable market share
In terms of rack units (RU), the market can be segregated into up to RU, 20 RU to 40 RU, and above 40 RU. The 20 RU to 40 RU segment is estimated to hold a considerable market share during the forecast period. On the other hand, the above 40 RU segment is anticipated grow at a robust rate in the projected timeline.
IT and telecommunication segment is expected to account a significant market share
On the basis of end-users, the market can be segregated into BFSI, IT and telecommunication, media and entertainment, healthcare, government and defense, retail, manufacturing, and others. The IT and telecommunication segment is estimated to account for a major market share in the projected timeline. Telecommunications firms are building higher-density micro mobile data centers ranging from 8kW to 10kW per cabinet.
Large enterprises segment to hold a significant market share
In terms of organizations, the market can be divided into large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises The large enterprises segment is anticipated to hold a large market share during the forecast period. Large firms face a variety of difficulties, including increased power use and a higher carbon footprint among other enterprises.
Micro mobile data centers are particularly efficient in terms of power and cooling since they are housed in a box rather than the whole physical infrastructure, which is necessary in regular data centers. Micro mobile data centers located at the network's periphery enable faster reaction time and alleviate bottlenecks.
Micro mobile data centers also assist organizations with easy and quick deployments, allowing them to extend their existing data centers rather than building a new one. They save a lot of time and money on construction and maintenance. These advantages and characteristics of micro mobile data centers have boosted their adoption by large organizations.
North America is estimated to account a significant market share
Based on regions, the market can be segregated into North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the micro data center market in 2020. The implementation of micro mobile data centers and investments in technological developments are the considerations that assist in the market growth in this region. The increase in application in schools, healthcare and BFSI also aids to the market development.
