The global data center construction boom, driven by generative AI and machine learning, presents growth opportunities for brokers Aon and Marsh. An estimated 2,000 to 3,000 data centers will be built worldwide over the next five years, with Marsh holding a significant market share of $205 billion for 2025.

Aon manages over one-third of existing data centers. Investment in digital infrastructure is projected to reach $3 trillion by 2029. Marsh's 'Nimbus' facility doubled its capacity to $2.7 billion for major projects, while Aon's Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Protection Program expanded to $2.5 billion. Both firms emphasize the need for innovative risk management in this expanding sector.
