Dublin, March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "U.S. Data Center Construction Market - Industry Outlook & Forecast 2026-2031" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The U.S. Data Center Construction Market was valued at USD 83.97 Billion in 2025, and is projected to reach USD 154.49 Billion by 2031, rising at a CAGR of 10.70%
The AI industry is set to increase the size of hyperscale data centers significantly. Even though current AI investments haven't fully offset the growth in hyperscale data centers, the capacity of these data centers, especially for AI workloads, is expected to almost triple over the next five to six years. With the rising adoption of AI across several industries, new data centers are being designed to support high-density AI-based workloads.
With the rise in the development of AI-optimized data center facilities, the adoption of GPUs in data centers is significantly increasing in the market. AI-based data centers utilize GPUs as they can perform massively parallel computations, train and run AI models dramatically faster, use power more efficiently for each AI task, support real-time AI inference, and enable high-density, scalable facilities.
In October 2025, Lambda, the Superintelligence Cloud, is setting up a next-generation AI Factory in Kansas City, Missouri, converting a vacant facility (built in 2009) into a cutting-edge AI data center. The site will be powered by over 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs, with plans to expand its capacity in later phases.
Advance Cooling Solutions for AI/ML Workloads
There is a growing emphasis on sustainable and innovative technologies for data centers. As computing power demands and performance expectations rise, driven by advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Machine Learning (ML), the need for power usage will increase, resulting in higher temperatures within IT infrastructure. These cutting-edge cooling solutions are essential for ensuring performance, reliability, and reduced energy and water consumption, which are critical as AI and ML become the primary drivers of computing demand.
The market is observing an increasing number of partnerships among data center operators, cooling technology vendors, chip manufacturers, and energy innovators. These collaborations are becoming essential for developing sustainable AI infrastructure. They facilitate the adoption of liquid cooling, hybrid thermal systems, and energy-efficient designs that support high-density computing while managing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact. This is crucial for meeting the competitive demands and regulatory standards of modern data centers in the US.
For instance, in November 2025, Switch and Schneider Electric signed an expanded $1.9 billion agreement, marking the largest data center cooling contract in North America. Under the supply capacity deal, Schneider Electric will provide prefabricated power modules and its Uniflair chiller systems for Switch's facilities, with the chillers set to be used in the US for the first time.
