MarketsandMarkets projects the sector will grow from $3.7 billion in 2026 at a 15.1% CAGR, driven by AI infrastructure, hyperscale buildouts, and demand for scalable power distribution.
The global data center busways market is projected to expand from USD 3.7 billion in 2026 to USD 8.6 billion in 2032, representing a 15.1% CAGR, according to a MarketsandMarkets report. The firm said growth is being fueled by AI-powered compute infrastructure, hyperscale cloud facility deployment, and rising demand for modular, scalable power distribution as operators shift away from traditional cable-based architectures. North America led the market with a 40% share by value in 2025 and is projected to grow at a 14.0% CAGR through 2032, while Asia Pacific is expected to post the fastest regional growth on the back of cloud expansion, digital transformation, and new data center construction. The AI data center segment accounted for 62.5% of the market by value in 2025, hyperscale represented 44%, and medium-ampacity busways of 800 A to 1,000 A held the largest share at 54.4%. MarketsandMarkets said AC busways are expected to dominate during the forecast period, high-ampacity 1250A systems are set to grow fastest as AI clusters and HPC workloads raise power density requirements, and copper is expected to remain the largest conductor type. Schneider Electric, Legrand (Starline), Eaton, ABB, and Siemens were identified as leading participants, with EAE Electric and Delta Electronics also expanding in AI-focused projects.
