BIZARRE: 3 data stocks to buy as experts call for massive growth ahead - What They Never Told You

The unprecedented demand for global data centers isn’t slowing down anytime soon, according to Global X, which now sees annual expansion of 14% all the way until 2030. This translates to an additional 100 GW of capacity, twice the current data center power load across the world.

A quarter of the existing demand is represented by AI workloads. Within this, the share of inference tasks (the ones that use AI-trained models to give real-time outputs like chatbots) has, for the first time, surpassed the share of AI training tasks (the ones that require compute to train AI models). That's not all; companies are now prioritizing key geographical locations for data center setups, not only to improve energy efficiency but also to reduce latency, which is instrumental in providing a real-time AI experience, such as through AI smart glasses or AI assistants.
