The proliferation of generative AI and its huge compute demands have resulted in the rapid development of the data center industry. As developers move to take advantage of this unprecedented demand growth, the knock on effect on the supply chain has been stark.

Conservative estimates suggest global demand for data center capacity could double by 2030, putting severe strain on the supply chain in a range of different areas. From power infrastructure to equipment procurement and material costs, the supply chain is being heavily affected by increased demand.

This report, produced by DCD Intelligence, will detail these key supply chain challenges and examine some of the solutions being adopted across the industry.
