SemiAnalysis launches tracker for modular data center buildout, projecting 61 GW by 2028 · 4 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

SemiAnalysis has launched a new 'Modular Tracker' tool to quantify the growing trend of modular data center construction. This tool categorizes modular builds into eight types and projects that modular capacity will exceed 61 GW by 2028, representing over 30% of the total live data center capacity. The analysis highlights that modular construction addresses key industry constraints by significantly reducing build times and on-site labor requirements, with demand currently outstripping supply. AI

IMPACT Modular data center construction is crucial for scaling AI infrastructure, addressing compute demand and reducing build times.
