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.

A chart showing the forecast growth in the Top 20 Data Centre Metros by raised floor space from the beginning of 2022 to the beginning of 2026 - as a percentage (from the lowest to the highest percentage growth rate overall):

Section 2: This section is mainly quantitative and provides a detailed analysis based on a four-year forecast from the beginning of 2022 to the beginning of 2026 for the following key EMEA region Data Centre metrics:

• Data Centre space (as measured by Data Centre raised floor space in m2)


• Data Centre power (as measured by Data Centre Customer Power – or in MW – as delivered to the customer equipment or IT load)


• Data Centre pricing (as measured by rack space rental (based on a 19” 42u rack with power supply but excluding the actual power used), m2 space rental & kW rental - shown in Euro p/m. excl. tax)


• Data Centre annual rentals - shown in Euro per annum   


• Data Centre power (in kWH) in Euro without tax or VAT.
