Reshaping the European Data Centre Market – 2022 and beyond
About the report
Datacentrepricing's 'Reshaping European Data Centre Market 2022 and beyond' Report provides in-depth analysis of the Top 10 Trends for Data Centres in the EMEA region, with a forecast for the key Data Centre Metro Markets and Countries in the region. Forecasts are shown for the four-year period from the beginning of 2022 to the beginning of 2026 for Data Centre raised floor space, Data Centre Customer Power & Data Centre revenues.
This report considers the key trends that impact the third-party Data Centre segment (also referred to as the Multi-Tenant Data Centre (MTDC)). It is composed of two sections as shown below:
Section 1: This section considers the Top 10 key trends that are impacting the European Data Centre market and is mostly qualitative in approach. It draws upon a range of research sources including interviews with several Data Centre Providers in Europe.
One of the findings is that the fastest growing 2 Data Centre Metro comes from the Metros shown in the Figure below.
