Ireland Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2024-2029

MARKET OVERVIEW

The Ireland data center market will witness investments of USD 4.22 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.06% during the forecast period. In Ireland, prominent cloud services providers like Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, along with local hyperscale cloud providers. For instance, in 2023, Microsoft planned to construct a new data center complex in Naas, Ireland. Also, the surge in demand for hyperscale and colocation services in Ireland is driven by critical sectors like telecom operators, Cloud/IT, Content Service Providers (CSPs), BFSI, and others. In 2023, Ireland is constructing its new government data center, which will be operated and managed by the Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine on behalf of the state.

The Ireland data center market is booming because of cloud computing, online gaming, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, rapid digitization, government support, and edge computing. Also, industries such as fintech, hospitality, airports, education, smart cities, healthcare, and public services embrace IoT technology in Ireland. For example, In 2023, Dublin Airport unveiled Dublin Town To Go, its pioneering AI-run store in Terminal 1 Arrivals, for a smooth, cashier-free shopping experience for travel essentials. Furthermore, Ireland has one Free Trade Zone (FTZ) named the Shannon Free Zone and an International Financial Centre. These Free Trade Zones provide benefits with low corporate taxes, customs duty, Value Added Tax(VAT) exemption of 10%, and grants for employment, R&D, and training.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• In the Ireland data center market, Dublin has emerged as a top destination for investments, powered by an expanding pool of STEM graduates and more foreign investment, resulting in higher data center deployments and job possibilities.
• Inland connection in Ireland is improving, thanks to establishing significant internet exchange points such as CIX, EQIX-DB, and INEX. Major telecom companies such as Vodafone, eir, and Three Ireland have commercially introduced 5G in Ireland.
• Ireland aims for carbon neutrality by 2050, with over 300 wind farms providing almost 4.8 GW of sustainable energy. So, beginning in 2023, new data centers such as Vantage Data Centers have planned to develop a new data center in Dublin using 100% renewable energy.
• In Ireland, municipalities use Big Data and AI to improve urban and smart city services. For instance, Smart Dublin is Ireland's smart city project, utilizing mobile tech, cloud computing, IoT, big data, and AI. Innovations like the Traffic Management Centre showcase its impact, enhancing urban living through advanced technology.
• In 2023, Ireland witnessed fewer data center investments due to a de facto moratorium imposed by EirGrid and governmental authorities.
