Italy Data Center Colocation Market - Supply & Demand Analysis 2024-2029

The Italy data center colocation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.50% from 2023 to 2029.

Italy is a major player in the Western European data center sector, with over 60 active colocation facilities constructed to Tier III requirements. This trend is projected to continue in the following year, fueled by sustained demand from hyperscale, cloud, OTT companies, and content providers.

The Italy data center colocation market has the presence of several global and local colocation operators, such as Aruba, Compass Datacenters, Stack Infrastructure, Momit SRL, TIM Sparkle, Keppel Data Centres, BT, Vantage Data Centers, Equinix, Data4/Brookfield, and rising entrants including CloudHQ, Nehos, Digital Realty, Vitali Group, and others. Further, Milan's strategic location in Italy attracts colocation investors to its data center market, boasting strong connectivity and submarine backbone connections. The city presents a substantial investment pipeline with 22 data centers, 14 operational and eight under construction, along with 10 secured potential developments.

The spike in cloud computing usage drives an increased demand for wholesale colocation, which is backed by key providers, such as Microsoft, AWS, Oracle, and others, entrusting specific workloads to wholesale colocation facilities. Also, most businesses shifted from on-premises facilities to the cloud for better performance and digitalization of services to make operations efficient and scalable. For instance, in June 2023, Oracle and TIM teamed up to establish a new cloud region in the region and planned for the migration of TIM's internal applications to OCI’s, providing both public and private sector organizations in Italy with enhanced cloud services and support. Furthermore, industries such as cloud computing, finance, telecommunications, healthcare, and government in the region drive the demand for colocation services. The public cloud remains the predominant model in Italy.
