About the French Data Centre Market

There are over 150 third-party Data Centre facilities in France with 3/4 of these being in the capital Paris. 

Data Centre development capacity in Paris remains constrained – offers t limited opportunities for new Data Centre development, as power, land and fibre development is restricted. Other French cities like Marseille have become established as a unique content hub, with three  major facilities.  

France remains the fourth largest Data Centre market in Europe, behind the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. Datacentrepricing forecasts a growth of 42% and 43% in m2 and MW respectively ove rthe coming four years.
