Nordic data center construction market to reach $2.57 bn in 2028

According to Arizton’s latest research report, the Nordic data center construction market will grow at a CAGR of 7.33% during 2022-2028.

In Europe, the Nordics region is preferable for data center development by some major hyperscale and colocation operators. Hyperscale operators such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta (Facebook) Oracle, among others, opted to open their self-built cloud regions to support the high demand from regional and local customers. In cloud adoption, public and hybrid cloud environments are witnessing strong growth. The local enterprise has significantly adopted cloud-based services, IoT services, and big data analytics, which have boosted the local colocation demand in the market. The Nordics data center market received investments from local colocation operators such as atNorth, AQ Compute, and Hetzner Online. Government entities in Nordic countries are moving toward digitalization and are constructing data centers to support their digital transformation goals.
