CCTV Finance recently reported on the rapid development of China’s modular construction industry, identifying data centers as one of the fastest-growing applications for modular building solutions.
The trend is being driven by the continued expansion of the digital economy and the surging demand for computing capacity. As artificial intelligence, large language models, and cloud computing reshape industries worldwide, data center developers are accelerating investment in new infrastructure to meet growing capacity requirements. At the same time, the market is placing greater emphasis on faster deployment, scalable expansion, and predictable project delivery.
During an interview with CCTV, You Deqiang, General Manager of CIMC Digital Power, noted that increasingly shorter technology and chip upgrade cycles are pushing developers to focus more closely on deployment timelines. As a result, prefabricated modular data centers are gaining traction as an effective way to accelerate project delivery while maintaining quality and reliability.
As a key business platform of CIMC Group specializing in digital infrastructure solutions, CIMC Digital Power focuses on the design, manufacturing, and global delivery of prefabricated modular data centers. Leveraging industrialized manufacturing processes and standardized modular products, the company achieves a prefabrication rate of more than 90% across its modular data center solutions.
By shifting the majority of construction activities from the project site to a factory-controlled environment, critical infrastructure systems—including power distribution and cooling—can be fully integrated and tested prior to shipment. This approach reduces on-site construction complexity, improves project predictability, and significantly shortens deployment schedules.
As investment in digital infrastructure continues to grow across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, CIMC Digital Power has expanded its international presence and successfully delivered projects in Malaysia, Indonesia, Italy, the Middle East, and other global markets. To date, the company has delivered more than 1,000 MW of modular data center capacity and over 17,000 prefabricated modules worldwide.
With global demand for digital infrastructure continuing to rise, modular data centers are becoming an increasingly important deployment model for the next generation of computing facilities. Looking ahead, CIMC Digital Power will continue to leverage its strengths in prefabrication, intelligent manufacturing, and global project execution to deliver efficient, reliable, and scalable infrastructure solutions for customers around the world.
