Data Center Surge: USA Tops Global List with 5,388 Centers, AI Adoption Fuels Growth

In a world fueled by technology, data centers are everywhere. They store, process, and move the information that runs our lives. We rely on them, but managing their impact has become a growing challenge for governments worldwide.

According to the estimates by Cloudscene, there are currently 11,800 operational data centers and the USA has most of them. There are 5,388 data centers in the USA alone as of March 2024. This makes the USA the house of 45% of the total data centers in this world. Germany has the second most data centers (512), followed by China (499) and Canada (366).

France comes at sixth position with 316 data centers listed and Australia at seventh with 307 data centers. The Netherlands (297), Russia (251) and Japan (219) are also the top ten countries with most data centers. These rankings about data centers around the world do not cover the size and capacity of data centers. This could mean that some countries have less data centers but have higher storage capacities. Statistics show that data centers are going to increase with the adoption of AI around the world.
