Global investments in the construction of data centres will total at least $3 trillion by 2030, according to analysts at the international rating agency Moody’s Ratings.
This amount includes investments in the purchase of servers, computing equipment, the creation of the necessary infrastructure, and the provision of power supply.
The bulk of the costs will be borne directly by large IT companies. This year alone, six leading American companies providing computing services will spend $500 billion on data centres, according to Moody’s report. These include Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc., Oracle Corp., CoreWeave Inc. and Meta.
Banks will continue to play an important role in providing financing to the industry, while other institutional investors will also provide companies with funds to expand their data centre capacity, experts say.
According to a report by investment company Colliers, data centres accounted for 31% of total investment in private real estate construction in the first three quarters of 2025. The average figure since 2020 has been around 15%.
