Copper use in the Data Centres (DCs) industry will continue to grow as the market is moving towards large and hyperscale DCs on the one hand, and edge DCs on the other, according to new research commissioned by the International Copper Association (ICA). The research, conducted by BSRIA, found that large and hyperscale DCs is projected to account for 67% demand of copper in the building contained sector by 2030, increasing from 37% in 2018.
Growing demand for the seamless delivery of an increasing number of IoT related services has resulted in a move towards large and hyperscale DCs. They require increased power generation, often from renewable energy sources, effective power distribution and more ICT equipment. These factors will all contribute to an increase in copper demand, including a large share from new construction.
