Europe Data Center Market by Type (Colocation, Hyperscale, Edge, and Others), by Deployment Model (On-premise, Cloud, and Hybrid), by Enterprise Size (Large Enterprise and Small and Medium Size Enterprise), and by End User (BFSI, IT and Telecom, Government, Energy and Utilities, and Other End Users)–Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024–2030
The Europe Data Center Market size was valued at USD 55.65 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 122.58 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 11.9% from 2024 to 2030.
Across Europe, businesses are increasingly embracing digital transformation initiatives to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving marketplace. This drive towards digitalization necessitates robust data center infrastructure to support the burgeoning volumes of data generated and processed by organizations. As companies adopt cloud computing, big data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and other emerging technologies, the demand for data center services escalates. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of remote work and online services, further fueling the need for reliable data center facilities to ensure seamless connectivity and data accessibility.
However, the data center industry faces significant challenges, notably the high initial investment required and stringent environmental regulations. Establishing and maintaining data centers demands substantial upfront financial commitments, posing barriers for smaller businesses and startups. Moreover, ongoing compliance with environmental standards mandates continuous investments in energy-efficient technologies hinders the overall market growth.
On the other hand, the integration of edge computing into network infrastructure operations presents promising opportunities for the industry's future. By minimizing latency and enabling real-time processing, edge computing supports applications such as IoT and AR, thereby alleviating the burden on centralized cloud data centers while offering scalability and flexibility. This decentralized approach not only enhances security by processing sensitive data locally but also aligns with evolving digital landscapes, thereby creating diverse opportunities for data center providers. Recent investments in startups such as Armada underscore the growing interest in edge computing solutions, reflecting a concerted effort to address connectivity challenges and bridge the digital divide.
