MARKET OVERVIEW

The France data center market size will witness investments of USD 4.06 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 4.66% during the forecast period. With the rise of 5G connectivity, there is a surge in data creation, leading to the need for more data centers and edge facilities. This demand is also in smaller cities where large data center construction is unfeasible or far from established centers. Further, government initiatives are also driving the France data center market; for instance, in February 2019, the government announced a tax incentive for facilities that will offer benefits such as reducing taxes on energy usage to around half of the total cost.

France has approximately 129 operational colocation data centers, the most developed to meet Tier III standards. French companies' preference for hosting their data within the country fuels the demand for colocation services. Concerns about data privacy and sovereignty drive this preference. The region is a hub for major cloud services providers like OVHcloud, AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle, expanding their presence by constructing new data centers. In June 2022, Oracle announced the opening of its new cloud region in Paris. Moreover, major global cloud services providers, such as Microsoft, Oracle, AWS, Google, and Alibaba, in the France data center market are expected to drive wholesale colocation demand, particularly in the forecast period.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• The France data center market is experiencing significant growth and success, primarily due to the proactive initiatives taken by the government to drive digitalization, AI/ML technologies, and big data solutions. These efforts have positioned France as a frontrunner toward technological advancement and innovation.
• France's strong commitment to renewable energy sources is a notable aspect that distinguishes it from other Western European countries. France boasts an abundance of hydroelectricity, nuclear power, wind energy, and solar photovoltaic power. This dedication to sustainable energy solutions aligns with the global push for a greener future and further enhances France's appeal as a hub for data centers.
• Paris, the capital city of France, has emerged as the primary hub for data center investment in the country. It holds a prominent position within the FLAP market, which includes Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, and Paris. Paris's strategic location and well-established infrastructure make it an attractive destination for data center development.
• Furthermore, creating Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and Free Trade Zones (FTZs) within the city provides additional incentives for investors. These designated areas offer a favorable business environment, including tax benefits and streamlined regulatory processes, further enticing domestic and international investors to establish data center facilities in Paris.
• France's connectivity infrastructure is rapidly expanding to meet the demands of the digital age. With approximately 18 operational submarine cables and plans to establish six more cables soon, France is ensuring enhanced connectivity and data exchange capabilities. This surge in submarine cable infrastructure has attracted considerable investments in data centers nationwide.
