Europe is estimated to contribute 40% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. In Europe, the leading markets are the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and Paris. In the past two years, the number of construction in the Netherlands has grown at a significant pace. This is mainly due to the lower electricity price and the availability of renewable sources. Almost all the projects that are being constructed in the Nordic countries, namely Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland, are being powered by 100% renewable energy because of the higher renewable productions. These countries also offer very low electricity pricing compared with other countries and use the free-cooling technique throughout the year. The awareness toward reducing electricity pricing is growing in countries, namely the UK and Germany.
Colocation providers, such as Equinix, Interxion, and Switch (SUPERNAP), are involved in the construction of Tier 3 and Tier 4 facilities in this region. Enterprises in Europe are also partnering with public cloud solution providers to develop cloud solutions. In 2021, OVHcloud, a leader in cloud computing in Europe, announced that it had entered into a strategic partnership with Bechtle. This long-term collaboration between OVHcloud and Bechtle has extended access to the latest cloud solutions with full data sovereignty. Hence, the abovementioned factors are expected to drive the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.
Green Data Centers (GDCs) have gained significant attention in today's digital world due to the increasing demand for data processing and storage. GDCs are designed to minimize energy consumption and reduce carbon footprint by integrating energy-efficient components such as Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and cooling systems. ECO mode and Active Standby are some energy-saving techniques used in GDCs. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are increasingly being adopted in GDCs for cooling power management. Energy efficiency is a crucial factor in the GDC market, with Digital Transformation, IoT, Healthcare, E-commerce, and other sectors driving the demand. Environmental Regulations and Tax Benefits are key factors propelling the growth of the GDC market. Net Carbon Neutrality and Renewable Energy Integration are emerging trends. Eco-friendly and Energy-efficient Solutions are in high demand, with Digital Services and Modular Infrastructure also gaining popularity. Carbon Emissions and environmental laws are major concerns, leading to the adoption of renewable energy sources. Cooling Technologies and Renewable Energy are essential components of GDCs. The market is expected to grow significantly due to the increasing demand for data processing and storage, and the need to reduce carbon footprint.
The surge in electricity consumption and associated costs is a significant driver of market growth. Data centers, essential for various operations, demand substantial electricity, a need exacerbated by the increasing usage of power-intensive applications like autonomous vehicles and streaming services. Despite advancements in technology enhancing energy efficiency, data center operators face challenges in maximizing energy efficiency and sustainability. Consequently, governments have responded by increasing electricity prices in some areas, prompting heightened awareness and initiatives for a greener environment. This trend is expected to fuel market growth, shaping trends in the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
The growing adoption of efficient infrastructure is the primary trend driving the market growth. Data center Companies have experienced several innovations over the past decade regarding the adoption of efficient infrastructure. In terms of IT infrastructure, the adoption of density-optimized server and storage infrastructure is gaining increased traction.
In addition, to reduce the consumption of energy, techniques such as free cooling and liquid immersion cooling are being implemented by operators to reduce the power consumption of the facility. Moreover, Companies operating in the market are also improving the energy efficiency of UPS systems. Modular UPS systems that are currently available in the market offer around 95% efficiency. Thus, the need for energy-efficient infrastructure is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Higher OPEX involved in renovating existing data centers is the major challenge impeding the market growth. Most of the infrastructure installation in the data center is related to one another. In addition, if the data center is not located in a region where renewable energy sources are limited, it is impossible to convert the facility to green.
The green data center includes the use of an energy-efficient server, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment. The use of free cooling involves changes to the entire HVAC of the facility which makes to difficult to renovate an existing facility. Thus, the higher OPEX involved in renovating existing data centers is hindering the growth of the market during the forecast period.
