MARKET INSIGHTS

The Ireland data center market size will witness investments of USD 3.52 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 1.26% during the forecast period. Ireland is a highly digitally connected country, and there is a high scope for innovation in sectors such as government, BFSI, education, and other sectors to bring digital transformation and provide new jobs. For instance, the Department of Enterprise, Trade, and Employment launched the National AI strategy to bring overall business transformation using AI.

In Ireland, the government offers various support schemes for sustainable power systems and efficient design schemes for data center construction. Implementing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will also be a significant driver for the increase in data center development in the country, resulting in data localization initiatives increasing local data storage and computation requirements. Many IT and technology-based companies have their EU-based headquarters in Ireland. Furthermore, government-backed schemes, known as SEAI’s EXEED-certified grant scheme, enable organizations to follow a systematic approach to new investments' construction and commissioning process. The EXEED grant scheme aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions via energy-efficient designs and offers funding of up to USD 1.2 million per project.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• The Ireland data center market is witnessing investment requirements from cloud and colocation service providers. Dublin still constitutes a majority of the upcoming data center capacity. However, the time to develop new facilities might get delayed because of constraints in the local energy grid.
• The de facto moratorium imposed by EirGrid on the supply of power for data center development in the Greater Dublin region is expected to impact data center development for at least a few years, after which alternatives for power supply planned by data center operators will enable the development of data centers in the region.
• The Ireland data center market is witnessing investments from colocation providers such as K2 Data Centres, Equinix, EdgeConneX, Echelon Data Centres, and CyrusOne, contributing to countrywide data center investments.
• Ireland aims to achieve a renewable energy proportion of up to 80% by 2030. There will be a high generation of renewable energy in the country. Wind is the main source of renewable energy in the country.
• The market revenue for data center operators in Ireland is expected to fluctuate for the next few years, owing to the confusion around data center developments.
