The global Data Center Physical Infrastructure market grew 27% year-over-year to $14 billion in Q2 2026, driven primarily by demand for AI data center capacity. Thermal management, UPS systems, and busway infrastructure grew strongly, while permitting delays in US states such as New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas have emerged as a significant risk to near-term buildout schedules.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Permitting delays in key US states are now the biggest bottleneck for AI-focused data center projects, signalling founders in cloud infrastructure must factor regulatory timing risks into their build and supply chain plans immediately.
