India’s Data Center Market is driven by the Government’s Digitization Drive coupled with the implementation of Data Localization Law: Ken Research

April 2020  

“Amplified demand from domestic clients has driven the growth of the data center market in India.”

Surge in Demand from Domestic Clients: India is witnessing a surge in the demand from domestic companies owing to the government’s data localization law which mandates the companies to store their data locally within the country. The RBI rolled out this regulation to control the data theft and data breach in the country. The regulation is an initiative to protect the countries data by storing it within the country and building confidence among the end-users. Post the Implementation of this law the end-users have become more cautious of their data storage and are now looking for local data centers in the country to choose them as their data center service provider. The demand for the data center services is witnessed to increase from the domestic companies who now are willing to store their data within the country to follow the guideline of the data localization law.

“Cloud First” to “Cloud Only” Model in India: The cloud industry in India is at a nascent stage and has a huge potential in this sector which is attracting the global cloud players to invest and enter the Indian market. The shift from ‘cloud-first’ to a ‘cloud-only’ model in India is pushing organizations to increase their spending on public cloud services to advance their digital business initiatives. The low cost of operations in Cloud services is attracting the local companies in India leading to increased demand for data center space by cloud service providers. The could industry in India is anticipated to grow owing to the surge in end-user spending on the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) as organizations in India are moving away from commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and license-based on-premises software to a subscription-based SaaS model to gain agility, innovation, and cost-efficiency.

Burgeoning SME industry in India: SME industry is anticipated to be one of the most potential end-users for the data center and the cloud industry. India was witnessed to have approximately 43 million organized and unorganized SME’s as of December 2019. Low-cost budgets of these SMEs are dragging their attention towards the data center and cloud service to protect and store their data. SME’s are one of the major end-user of SaaS cloud service in India.

The market is expected to register a positive CAGR of 9.7% in terms of revenue during the forecast period 2019-2025F.
