Europe Data Center Construction Market Analysis

The Europe Data Center Construction Market size is estimated at USD 59.45 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 92.78 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period (2025-2031).

The European data center construction market is projected to register a CAGR of 5.3% over the next five years. The market studied has been increasing, with new entrants and data centers being increasingly constructed in the region. The necessity for space and utilities has also expanded to unprecedented levels, with the expansion of businesses driving the need for more data centers in the region.

  • Under Construction IT Load Capacity: The upcoming IT load capacity of the European data center construction market is expected to reach above 25,000 MW by 2030.
  • Under Construction Raised Floor Space: Europe’s construction of raised floor areas is expected to exceed 80 million sq. ft. by 2030.
  • Planned Racks: The region's total number of racks to be installed is expected to reach more than 4 million units by 2030. The United Kingdom is expected to house the maximum number of racks by 2030.
  • Planned Submarine Cables: Many under-construction submarine cable projects are under process in Europe. For instance, in May 2024, the IOEMA Project introduced a groundbreaking 1,400 km repeatered submarine fiber optic initiative. This project signifies the first submarine fiber optic cable to land on Germany's North Sea shores in a quarter-century, thus marking a significant milestone. Spanning across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and Norway, the IOEMA Project is set to revolutionize data connectivity in Northern Europe, offering enhanced capacity and redundancy.
  • The FLAP-D (Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin) region has become significantly mature and faces limitations related to physical spaces and insufficient energy to power these data centers. Such issues have driven the colocation providers to find new feasible locations, including Oslo, Berlin, Zurich, Milan, Warsaw, and Madrid. These areas are considered potential hotspots for data center construction across the region.

Europe Data Center Construction Industry Overview

Europe's data center construction market is moderately fragmented, with the top five companies occupying most of the market share. The few major players in this market are AECOM, McCarthy Building Companies, Mercury Engineering, Brasfield & Gorrie, and DPR Construction.

  • In April 2023, Green Mountain, a Norwegian data center firm, launched a joint venture with energy firm KMW to build a new campus south of Frankfurt, Germany. The two corporations have created a 50:50 partnership to build a 54 MW data center near Mainz. Three structures are proposed for the 25,000 sq. m (269,100 sq. ft) FRA1-Main site next to KMW's power plants. According to the firms, the buildings can handle both multi-tenant contracts and dedicated buildings. Power will be supplied by KMW's renewable portfolio, with backup power supplied by the local KMW gas plant rather than backup generators.
