EMEA Data Center Colocation Market: Segmentation

This research report includes detailed segmentation by electrical infrastructure, mechanical infrastructure, general construction, colocation services, and geography.

Power outages and fluctuations due to grid instability make UPS systems critical components of data center operations. Although many facilities do not suffer from power outages, power fluctuations increase the importance of UPS systems for continuous operations. Continuous innovations in these backup systems, such as lithium-ion batteries, have increased their applicability in the energy-consuming industry, such as data centers.

Generators ensure 100% availability of data center services. The use of generators in EMEA is crucial as power outages are frequent in certain countries, especially in the MEA region. The generators market will continue to grow because of the continuous construction of large and mega facilities in EMEA. However, the adoption of generators will be high in the MEA region, with maximum demand coming from the Africa region as the power outages are frequent.

The use of indirect evaporative coolers and air/water-side economizers will continue to grow in Nordic and Northern Western Europe countries. The need to reduce CAPEX and OPEX, conserve data center space, and reduce power supply to cooling units, the coolers segment is expected to grow during the forecast period. Innovations in rack units are driving the rack market. 42U rack units are the commonly used one in EMEA data centers. However, the market has witnessed an increased demand for 45U, 47U, and 48U racks installed in large capacities recently. Vendors are also continually introducing rack with innovative designs that provide 80% airflow perforation, with enhanced cabling channels, and more support for weight capacity.

The high demand for hyperscale services is driving the market share of the building development segment. Colocation service providers such as AWS, Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft employ professionals to work alongside construction contractors and design and architectural firms to build data centers. The DCIM segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing construction of facilities has increased power consumption and carbon emissions. Therefore, the monitoring of each IT infrastructure component, especially in medium- and large-sized facilities, becomes cumbersome. Hence, the installation of DCIMs, which are integrated into the data center infrastructure for monitoring and managing the facility, is expected to grow. Besides, power surges are also leading to infrastructure failures and equipment damage.

Retail colocation services are likely to grow among several African and Eastern Europen countries. Companies are shifting from on-premise to colocation services to improve reliability and scalability in their services. The increased demand for business-specific IT infrastructure with 100% uptime and scalability is driving organizations to shift from on-premise to colocation services. .

EMEA Data Center Colocation Market: Geography

In Eastern Europe, a majority of facilities identified with an investment of more than $10 million with few facilities with investment more than $35 million. The data center development is mainly concentrated in the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, and Russia in Eastern Europe. The increasing internet penetration in Austria, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Poland, is witnessing an increase in demand for internet-based services.

Enterprises prefer to opt for colocation services than managing on-premise infrastructure. The market in MEA is growing significantly with investments from telecommunication and pure-play colocation and managed hosting service providers. Submarine cable projects such as Africa-1 connecting South Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan, and Europe, which is expected to be operational till 2021, is likely to boost the market.
