BELGIUM DATA CENTER MARKET SIZE
The Belgium data center market size will witness investments of USD 3.11 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.18% during the forecast period. Belgium is one of the emerging countries in Western Europe, accounting for an increase in investments from global and local data center operators and hyperscale operators. The country witnessed more than 1.4% of data center investments in the region in 2024, owing to the growing internet penetration and the adoption of cloud-based services by businesses in the country.
In Europe, some countries are facing significant challenges in building new data centers after the launch of the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive. The main issues are delays in data center construction permits and limited access to power. Large data centers, especially those that are powered by AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) require a huge amount of power to run their operations. However, Belgium is not facing such problems; the Belgium data center market is estimated to witness increased investments from local and global data center operators across the country.
The industrial electricity price is lower in Belgium as compared with other European countries such as France, the Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, and the Netherlands. The industrial electric price in Belgium ranges between $0.13/kWh and $0.16/kWh. Furthermore, in February 2025, the Belgium government announced its plan to implement the AI tool in law enforcement, which includes face recognition technology for detecting criminals.
According to the Belgium 2024 Digital Decade Country Report, the country leading in the provision of digital public services across the country, it registered a score of around 82.3 out of 100 for citizens and around 91.6 out of 100 for business.
Microsoft is involved in the Digital AmBEtion program with the Belgium government; in this program, Microsoft helps to increase digitalization across the country. There are three main pillars of the Digital AmBEtion program: providing world-class digital infrastructure across the country, helping to develop digital skills in the people of the country, and creating sustainable societal impact in Belgium. Additionally, in March 2025, under the Digital AmBEtion program, Microsoft announced its decision to launch three data centers in Brussels; the company is planning to open these data centers in autumn (September to November).
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- The demand for cloud computing in Belgium is experiencing significant growth, creating promising opportunities for cloud investors. This expansion is driven by factors such as government initiatives, rising cybersecurity threats, as well as the growing use of digitalization in different sectors and industries. For instance, in January 2025, Euroclear, a Belgian financial services company, announced the signing of a seven-year cloud agreement with Microsoft to utilize its cloud services for financial operations.
- Belgium accounts for the presence of ample renewable resources such as wind energy, solar energy, biomass, hydro, and marine. In 2024, Belgium produced around 30% of its electricity from its green energy sources. The country is set to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
- In October 2024, the European Investment Bank (EIB) announced the signing of the green credit facility agreement with Elia Transmission Belgium (ETB) for around USD 700 million to build the artificial energy island; this will connect Belgium to around 3.5 GW of offshore wind power energy.
- According to the Belgian Institute for Postal Services and Telecommunications (BIPT), the Belgian telecoms regulator, around 50% of households in Belgium will be equipped with FTTP (Fiber to the Premises/Property) by 2025; FTTP uses optical fiber to provide high-speed internet connections to individual homes, apartments, and other properties. By 2028, this reach is expected to increase to 75% of households.
- Data centers are the backbone of digital infrastructure as they are interconnected across the globe. However, there are significant concerns regarding their effects on the environment, sustainability, and energy use. To address these challenges, the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed the EU Code of Conduct (CoC) for data centers.
