Hyperscale Data Centers to Reach 67% of Global Capacity by 2031
Cloud giants rapidly expanding infrastructure as AI demand accelerates.
WASHINGTON, April 10, 2026 – Hyperscale operators including Google, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services are projected to account for 67 percent of global data center capacity by 2031.
The projection, published in a report Tuesday by Synergy Research Group, reflects a shift as enterprise-owned infrastructure declines. Hyperscale firms currently control 48 percent of worldwide capacity, with nearly 60 percent in facilities they own and build.
Enterprise on-premises data centers accounted for 56 percent of global capacity in 2018, compared to 32 percent today, and are projected to fall to 19 percent by 2031. Non-hyperscale colocation providers make up 20 percent.
