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

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

The Netherlands data center market size will witness investments of USD 2.43 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.28% during the forecast period. The Netherlands benefits from nine existing submarine cables, with another under development, ensuring robust and reliable international connectivity for data centers. This infrastructure supports high-speed communication networks, making the Netherlands a strategic data-traffic location. Further, the Netherlands is advancing in 5G technology, with KPN leading in download speeds and T-Mobile excelling in upload speeds. Recent initiatives include launching private 5G networks, successful 5G Standalone (SA) tests, and funding sustainable data center projects like the Modular Integrated Sustainable Datacenter (MISD) project.

The Netherlands data center market is committed to sustainable practices. Iron Mountain's Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and the Dutch Data Center Association's pledge to the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact (CNDCP) are examples of efforts to achieve climate neutrality by 2030. The surge in colocation demand in the Netherlands is a direct consequence of the government's and various organizations' ongoing shift toward cloud migration. The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) in the Netherlands and the municipality of Amsterdam are among the adopters of the Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty service.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• Amsterdam is a preferred destination for businesses seeking reliable and scalable hosting solutions from 2024 to 2029. 
• The Netherlands data center market is witnessing significant investments, acquisitions, and expansion, with companies including Google, Microsoft, and Digital Realty actively participating in ventures.
• In December 2023, the Municipality of Amsterdam implemented stringent restrictions on constructing new data centers within city borders. The new regulations stipulate that new data center developments must demonstrate clear benefits to Amsterdam and comply with rigorous environmental standards. This shift makes business parks in Amsterdam crucial locations for future data center developments throughout the forecast period.
• Dutch data center operators harness huge amounts of renewable energy through PPAs with energy companies. In June 2023, Google inked a 15-year PPA with Kronos Solar EDPR, a subsidiary of EDP Renewables, to procure solar energy from four upcoming photovoltaic plants in the Netherlands. The agreement, valued at 40 MW, aligns with Google's commitment to carbon-free energy usage by 2030.
• The Netherlands' colocation data center market is witnessing an increase in the construction of self-built data centers by cloud providers such as Google and Microsoft.
• In recent years, the Netherlands has witnessed steady growth in adopting and penetrating cloud computing services. For instance, over 90% of organizations in the country have adopted cloud technology as one of their core service offerings.
• Leading cloud service providers, including Google, AWS, Microsoft, and Oracle Cloud, are actively providing cloud on-ramp services through various data center facilities in Amsterdam. AWS, for instance, offers these services in Digital Realty's AMS7 facility, while Google utilizes Equinix's AM3 facility. Microsoft operates from Digital Realty's AMS8 facility, and Oracle Cloud is in Equinix's AM4 facility.
