英國資料中心機櫃：市場佔有率分析、產業趨勢與統計及成長預測（2026-2031 年）

根據 Mordor Intelligence 預測，英國資料中心機櫃市場規模將從 2025 年的 1.1875 億美元成長到 2026 年的 1.3546 億美元，然後在 2031 年達到 2.6177 億美元，2026 年至 2031 年的複合年成長率為 14.07%。

本報告按機架尺寸（四分之一機架、半機架、全機架）、機架高度（42U、45U、48U）、其他高度（52U以上，以及客製化高度）、機架類型（機櫃式開放式機櫃、開放式機架、壁掛式機架）、資料中心類型（託管機房等）和材料（鋼材等）和材質（鋼材等）細分。所有細分市場的規模和預測均以美元（USD）計價。

英國資料中心機櫃市場的趨勢與洞察

快速採用主權雲和混合雲區域

隨著企業努力滿足本地資料儲存要求，主權雲端計畫正在重塑機架部署模式。在人工智慧成長領域，簡化的核准流程正在加速配備增強型鎖定機制的機櫃安裝，以滿足金融業的審計追蹤要求。混合架構也有助於降低持續雲端市場研究中強調的供應商鎖定風險，並推動對整合佈線和配電單元、支援多重雲端遷移的機架的需求。金融機構透過指定符合開放銀行監管規定的英國本土託管機架，進一步加快了部署速度。

提高超大規模和託管環境中 AI/ML 機架的密度

隨著人工智慧訓練叢集的功率輸出超過 90 kW，營運商被迫採用 48U 和客製化高度的機架，以容納浸沒式冷卻盤、後門式熱交換器和高容量匯流排。像 Telehouse 的液冷實驗室這樣的夥伴關係，體現了機架、冷卻和監控領域的融合，為能夠提供預設計液冷機櫃的供應商創造了新的機會。超大規模資料中心業者正在採用更高的機架，以最佳化每平方公尺的運算能力，這推動了英國資料中心機櫃市場的大量需求。

電網接入等候名單（延遲24個月或更久）

在倫敦地區，總合400吉瓦的積壓計畫意味著開發商必須等待兩年多才能併網發電。許多開發商正將資金轉移到曼徹斯特和卡迪夫，而其他開發商則在探索現場燃氣渦輪機、電池儲能系統或小型模組化核子反應爐。人工智慧能源委員會的成立凸顯了情勢的迫切性，但冗長的核准流程仍阻礙短期機組部署。

細分市場分析

預計到2025年，全尺寸機架將佔英國資料中心機櫃市場的71.58%。這反映了市場對標準化600毫米 x 1200毫米尺寸機架的偏好，這種尺寸有利於氣流流通和線纜管理。隨著超大規模資料中心業者和託管服務供應商追求規模經濟，預計該細分市場將以15.86%的複合年成長率成長。四分之一尺寸機架預計仍將用於邊緣擴展艙，但在英國整體資料中心機櫃市場的銷售量仍不高。

全機架配置日益普及，人工智慧運算叢集數量的成長進一步推動了這一趨勢。這是因為叢集GPU托架佔據了連續的垂直和水平空間，降低了部分機架的供電和冷卻迴路效率。因此，供應商正將研發重點放在增強機架剛性、減震以及整合式冷卻液歧管上，這些歧管與整個機架的冷板網格相連。這些特性在設計全高機殼時更容易整合。

儘管42U機架仍佔據英國資料中心機櫃市場55.82%的佔有率，但隨著48U系統以每年14.92%的速度成長，其主導地位正逐漸減弱。更高的機架可提供額外的6U空間，操作員通常將其用於機架內UPS抽屜、機架頂部交換器或流體循環迴路的歧管接頭。機櫃高度的增加也需要考慮重心問題，因此供應商紛紛從低碳鋼框架轉向更輕的鋁製框架，這些鋁製框架無需額外的地面錨固即可滿足抗震標準。

由於像 NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD 這樣的 GPU叢集每個伺服器執行緒佔用多個框架單位，因此向 48U 和客製化 52U 配置的轉變正在加速，這使得營運商能夠最大限度地提高每千瓦的節點數量。因此，位於倫敦碼頭區的傳統 42U 機房正在進行維修，並加裝後門式熱交換器，以便在電網升級完成之前釋放額外的容量。

UK Data Center Rack Market Trends and Insights

Rapid Adoption of Sovereign and Hybrid Cloud Zones

The sovereign-cloud agenda is redrawing rack-deployment patterns as enterprises seek local data-residency compliance. AI Growth Zones streamline approvals, enabling faster cabinet installations with enhanced locking mechanisms that meet financial-sector audit trails. Hybrid architectures also mitigate vendor lock-in risk highlighted by the ongoing cloud-market investigation, spurring demand for racks with integrated cabling and power-distribution units that support multi-cloud switching. Financial institutions further accelerate deployments by specifying British-hosted racks that satisfy open-banking regulations.

AI/ML Rack-Density Upgrades Across Hyperscale and Colocation

AI training clusters are pushing per-rack loads above 90 kW, forcing operators to adopt 48U and custom heights to accommodate immersion trays, rear-door heat exchangers, and high-capacity busbars. Partnerships such as Telehouse's liquid-cooling laboratory illustrate the convergence of rack, cooling, and monitoring domains, opening opportunities for suppliers able to offer pre-engineered, liquid-ready cabinets. Hyperscalers standardize on taller frames to optimize compute-per-square-meter, strengthening volume demand for the United Kingdom data center rack market.

Power-Grid Connection Queues (>= 24-Month Delays)

Backlogs totaling 400 GW in the London region force developers to wait two years or more for grid hookups. Many operators redirect capital to Manchester or Cardiff, while others install on-site gas turbines, battery storage, or explore small modular reactors. The AI Energy Council's formation underscores official urgency; however, long approval cycles still curb near-term rack deployments.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

1. Accelerated 5G Edge Build-Outs Needing Micro-Racks
2. Government Carbon-Neutral Mandates Driving Liquid-Cool Ready Racks
3. Tight Labour Pool for Tier 3/Tier 4 Installers

Segment Analysis

Full racks held 71.58% of the United Kingdom data center rack market share in 2025, reflecting the preference for standardized 600 mm X 1,200 mm footprints that streamline airflow and cable management. The segment is projected to expand at 15.86% CAGR as hyperscalers and colocation landlords chase economies of scale. Quarter racks will persist in edge pods, but volume remains modest in the overall United Kingdom data center rack market.

Rising AI compute clusters further cement full-rack popularity because clustered GPU trays consume contiguous vertical and horizontal space, making partial frames inefficient for power and cooling loops. Therefore, suppliers concentrate R&D on strengthening frame rigidity, vibration isolation, and built-in coolant manifolds that serve rack-wide cold-plate grids-features easier to integrate when designing full-height enclosures.

The 42U format still accounts for 55.82% of the United Kingdom data center rack market size, but its dominance is eroding as 48U systems grow 14.92% per year. Taller frames provide an extra 6U that operators allocate to in-rack UPS drawers, top-of-rack switches, or manifold headers for liquid loops. Taller enclosures also raise center-of-gravity considerations, prompting vendors to switch from mild steel to lighter aluminum frames that meet seismic standards without adding floor anchoring.

GPU clusters like NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD occupy multiple rack units per server sled, accelerating the shift to 48U and custom 52U configurations so operators can maximize nodes per kilowatt. Legacy 42U sites in London's Docklands are therefore retrofitting with rear-door heat exchangers to squeeze incremental capacity until grid upgrades arrive
