Indian white Box Market
The rising adoption of analytical applications and surging demand for energy-efficient servers in the data centers and big organizations are the major factors boosting the white box server market growth. Analytical applications require continuous operations of virtualization and physical servers in data centers, which in turn, boost their adoption. Moreover, increasing adoption of white-box servers among end-users owing to their low cost and a high degree of customization is further acting as the catalyst in the market growth in the country. Data centers are the largest end-user of the white box servers. With the increase in the number of data centers in the country, the demand for the white-box server is increasing, which leads to market growth in the country.
The growing usage of information and communication technology (ICT) and the digitization of businesses are altering the traditional IT environment, which is driving up demand for white-box servers in the country. According to the International Trade Administration, the ICT sector provides about 13% of the country's GDP, and India's digital economy creates around $200 billion in yearly economic value via Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM), e-commerce, digital payments, and digital communication services, among other services. Furthermore, it is anticipated that India's whole digital economy will be worth $800 billion by 2025. This will result in massive data generation, driving up the need for big data servers to handle and process massive amounts of data. Furthermore, according to the same source, India's ICT market is expected to rise from $180 billion to $350 billion by 2025.
Several global colocation and data center service providers have shown a tremendous inclination toward the Indian data center market, which is likely to promote white box server market growth.

Government Schemes and Initiatives

States such as Maharashtra, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh are providing particular incentives for data center development, such as reduced land rates, reduced electricity costs, and a stamp duty exemption. Multiple Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has already been inked by the governments of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh with various data center operators to create hyper-scale data center campuses.

For Government-to-Citizen (G2C) delivery platforms, such as the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), e-visa, and National CSR Data Portal, to name a few, the Indian Government is becoming increasingly reliant on the data center.
