This new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Cheaper power cost and availability of renewable sources

Constructing and operating data centers in the European countries differ from one country to another. The industrial electricity cost per kWh is costlier in the UK and Germany compared to Nordic countries. The growing concerns over the reduction of OPEX are assisted by the reduction of electricity consumption and are achieved through less electricity cost and financial incentives. Moreover, almost all European countries are suitable for the implementation of the free cooling techniques due to the favorable climatic conditions. Owing to the increased carbon emission by data centers, the construction of these facilities in regions where there is plenty of renewable energy sources will boost the market growth steadily during the forecast period. 

Growing business demands

The amount of data center construction is growing in several European countries due to the favorable environmental conditions for data center operations. Besides this, the growth is also supported by the demand for enterprise businesses to operate business through cloud platforms and the amplified need for colocation services in the region. Moreover, CSPs and colocation providers are incessantly involved in the construction of additional data centers and extension of existing ones in this region to power the mounting business demands from enterprises throughout Europe.  The market for cloud-based services is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 18% in Europe regions, where its associated services, IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, are anticipated to contribute equally toward the growth.

Growing IoT

The growing number of connected devices will lead to the generation of large blocks of data. Ideas such as connected health, connected homes, connected cars, and smart cities are gaining popularity. Many industries such as automotive, retail, utilities, manufacturing, and social media are using the IoT for increased data transfer. The IoT is expected to be a strong factor in the growth of the European GDP during the forecast period through increased productivity. The growth of IoT among the transportation and healthcare sector is expected to be higher compared to other industry verticals. With the growing investment in IoT technology across Europe, the number of data centers that are required to enable smarter connectivity is also expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
