At the start of each calendar year, Uptime Intelligence compiles a short list of trends or predictions relevant to the digital infrastructure sector for the coming year (and years) ahead. These aim to look beyond the more obvious trends and examine some of the latest developments and challenges shaping the data center industry.
Each list has been largely accurate, and many trends remain relevant heading into 2025 (see Uptime's predictions 2022 to 2024 — relevant and actionable?). Over the years, many predictions have followed similar themes, particularly around sustainability, power, and adopting new technologies. These issues are present again in 2025 — however, this year is also distinct in that AI forms a core element in each prediction.
