Global Data Center Interconnect Market size was valued at USD 8.47 Billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 9.53 Billion in 2023 to USD 24.64 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 12.6% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

A key constituent of modern data centers' architecture, the data center interconnect industry, supports high-speed, high-capacity communication across geographically dispersed facilities. Data-intensive applications such as cloud services, big data analytics, disaster recovery, and business data mobility require DCI technology. The leading DCI solutions that facilitate flexible and scalable data transfer across data centers include SDN and optical transport systems. The demand for DCI solutions is on the rise as more and more businesses, content providers, and telecom carriers are increasingly using multi-cloud and hybrid environments. The rate of innovation in the industry has been quite fast, and the leading companies now offer high-end DCI services that can cater to increasing demand for dependable, secure, and low-latency data connections. Due to an explosion of data, the growth in edge computing, and effective interconnection requirements, DCI today is a critical part of global digital transformation projects. Higher reliability in interconnection is because of the massive growth brought about by data traffic thanks to the Internet of Things and 5G, and streaming services. Continuity of business operations and disaster recovery, aided by redundancy of data and risk management, the replication of data across locations, are factors pushing demand for DCI. SDN and NFV have also made DCI solutions more scalable and effective, thus catching the interest of many industries. Moreover, DCI solutions are needed to handle high-speed large-scale data flow as hyperscale data centers, like those of IT giants, grow their networks.
