The market is projected to reach USD 25.43 billion by 2035, a CAGR of 8.16% from 2025. **How fast is the Transportation and Logistics Data Center Market growing?** 8.16% a year from 2025 to 2035, after 6.17% a year from 2020 to 2025, as transport IT load in use rises from 2,450 MW to 4,300 MW and its GPU share from 5% to 23%. **What is a transportation and logistics data center?** USD 11.61 billion was spent in 2025 on capacity that airlines, airports, railways, shipping lines, ports, parcel carriers, freight forwarders and travel and mobility platforms own, colocate or rent for their own systems. Onboard vehicle computers, software licences and government transport systems are excluded. **Do airlines and travel companies still run their own data centers?** USD 5.44 billion, or 46.8% of 2025 spending, goes to public cloud. Sabre closed 19 data centers and moved more than 40,000 servers to Google Cloud, and Amadeus said in September 2026 that 100% of its former data center workloads run on Microsoft Azure. **How much did the July 2024 IT outage cost Delta Air Lines?** About USD 550 million: USD 380 million of lost revenue and USD 170 million of extra expense in the September 2024 quarter, after about 7,000 flight cancellations over five days, according to Delta's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. **Which segment of the Transportation and Logistics Data Center Market grows fastest?** Analytics and AI grows fastest at 16.78% a year to USD 7.12 billion by 2035.

The Middle East and Africa grows fastest at 11.66% a year, and India is the fastest large country at 15.52%. **How much do transport operators spend per MW of data center capacity?** USD 4.74 million per MW in use in 2025, rising to USD 5.91 million in 2035, DC Market Insights estimates. Colocation for transport buyers costs about USD 180 per kW-month in 2025. **Which rules affect transport and logistics data centers?** Four dates matter: NIS2 has covered EU transport since 18 October 2024, the U.S. Coast Guard maritime cyber rule took effect on 16 July 2025, the EU Entry/Exit System started on 12 October 2025, and eFTI freight data acceptance is mandatory from 9 July 2027. **Why do Transportation and Logistics Data Center Market estimates differ?** USD 12.74 billion in 2026 counts only data center capacity that transport operators use for their own systems. Estimates that add transport software, onboard vehicle computing, road-authority traffic systems or logistics services sold to data center builders come out several times larger. ## Dataset | Series | Value | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | | Market size 2025 | 11,610 | USD million | | Revenue CAGR | 8.16 | % | | Market size 2035 | 25,430 | USD million | ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the size of the Transportation and Logistics Data Center Market in 2026?
