Software-Defined Data Center Market Size, Share, Growth Trends, and Global Forecast to 2031 | Retailers Lean on AI Forecasting as Retail Analytics Heads for $23.21bn

Dublin, Oct. 21, 2026 -- "Software-Defined Data Center Market: Global Forecast to 2031" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global software-defined data center market is projected to grow from USD 100.00 billion in 2026 to USD 265.80 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 21.6%. Market expansion is supported by enterprise digital transformation, hybrid and multi-cloud adoption, AI-driven automation, and demand for scalable IT infrastructure.

Organizations across enterprise, telecom, cloud, and managed services are investing in software-defined data center solutions to centralize the management of computing, storage, and networking resources. Automated provisioning, real-time resource optimization, integrated security, and compatibility with existing systems are helping businesses improve operational efficiency, support growth, and generate stronger returns from IT investments.

Managed service providers expected to record the fastest growth

Managed service providers represent the fastest-growing end-user segment. Adoption is increasing as providers seek to automate infrastructure management, accelerate response times, optimize resources, and deliver flexible, on-demand services. The integration of software-defined networking and software-defined storage also strengthens the management of complex networks and large-scale storage environments.

Hybrid cloud deployments and AI-driven automation are particularly important to this segment. Predictive maintenance, intelligent workload allocation, and proactive performance monitoring can help managed service providers enhance reliability while responding more effectively to changing customer requirements.

Large enterprises maintain the leading market share

Large enterprises account for a larger share of the software-defined data center market due to their extensive and complex IT environments. These organizations require scalable infrastructure, rapid resource provisioning, efficient workload management, and advanced capabilities for monitoring, security, and compliance.

Integration with established systems and hybrid and multi-cloud environments further supports adoption among large enterprises. Software-defined infrastructure enables these businesses to optimize costs, improve operational agility, and introduce new digital services without replacing their entire technology estate.

Asia Pacific emerges as a high-growth regional market

The Asia Pacific software-defined data center market is expanding rapidly as cloud adoption and digital transformation accelerate across China, India, and Southeast Asia. Investments in hyperscale data centers, demand for cost-effective and scalable infrastructure, and government digitalization initiatives are creating significant market opportunities.
