eco Study: Data Centers as an Economic Factor

Data centers are much more than just IT infrastructure. According to a recent study by the eco association, they not only drive digitalization, but also strengthen numerous branches of industry.

Virtually nothing works in the digital world without data centers. From this perspective, it is only logical that data centers also contribute significantly to the economic success of a wide range of industries. A new study by the German association eco – Verband der Internetwirtschaft e.V. shows how data centers positively influence not only the IT sector itself, but also numerous other industries through so-called spillover effects.

The eco association is an umbrella organization of the digital and Internet industry in Germany, of which centron is also a member. In our article we explain the most important findings for you, the complete study is available for download on the association’s website.

Data Centers as Growth Engines

According to a study by the eco association, data centers are key drivers of innovation and progress. Investments in modern infrastructure and technologies create a stable foundation for the digital transformation, which continues to gain momentum in Germany. However, the effects of these investments are not limited to the data centers themselves. They have an impact on numerous other sectors of the economy – from software development to e-commerce and the manufacturing industry.

Companies that continuously develop and optimize their digital processes in particular benefit enormously from the performance of modern data centers. This leads to accelerated digitalization and greater efficiency, which has a direct impact on the growth and success of companies.

Data Centers as a Job Engine

The study also highlights that data centers are a central component of the labour market. They not only create jobs directly in the IT industry, but also indirectly in other sectors that benefit from data center technologies and services. This is particularly evident in the emergence of new working models, the promotion of start-ups and the creation of digital platforms.

Future Perspectives for Data Centers

According to the eco study, the future of data centers in Germany looks extremely promising. The growing demand for cloud-based services, data-intensive applications and the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) are just some of the trends that will further increase the need for high-performance data centers.
