China’s IDC market presents a trend of rapid development. According to the data of Zhiyan consulting, in 2019, the market scale of IDC in China has reached 156.25 billion yuan. It is predicted that it will reach 314.53 billion yuan in 2022, and the market scale CAGR will reach 26.26% from 2019 to 2022. In October 2021, the national development and Reform Commission issued several opinions on strict energy efficiency constraints and promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction in key areas, which made it clear that the power utilization efficiency of new large and super large data centers should not exceed 1.3. The high power density, green energy conservation and other technical advantages of the subsea data center are expected to lead the transformation of the data center infrastructure, so that the energy consumption level of the entire IDC industry directly crosses the era of “carbon neutrality”, becoming a new highlight and trend of the industry. In recent years, the company has increased investment in the field of submarine data center and actively promoted the implementation of Hainan demonstration projects, with broad growth space in the future.
