U.K. Data Center Colocation Market - Supply & Demand Analysis 2024-2029

The U.K. data center colocation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.35% from 2023 to 2029.

The U.K. is a leading market for colocation services in Europe, with around 225 operational colocation data centers. London plays a pivotal role as a data center hub, but cities across the U.K. are emerging as key locations for data infrastructure development.

The U.K. data center colocation market is highly competitive, with both local and global players including Equinix, VIRTUS Data Centres, Digital Realty, Ark Data Centres, NTT Global Data Centers, and Vantage Data Centers (Next Generation Data) operating in the region. These operators majorly provide wholesale colocation services to meet the growing demand. Furthermore, hyperscale self-built activities in the market during the forecast period might reduce the demand for hyperscale colocation from a few operators. However, the industry is expected to see higher take-up of wholesale colocation spaces by AI companies.

London offers diverse opportunities for industrial development in strategic locations such as South Wales, North and South Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, South Yorkshire, Northumberland, County Durham, Fife, and Midlothian. Also, sustainability and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important in the United Kingdom data center colocation market.
