Netherlands Data Center Market – Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2026-2031

NETHERLANDS DATA CENTER MARKET SIZE & OUTLOOK

The Netherlands data center market size was valued at USD 1.71 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 3.60 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 13.15% during the forecast period. The Netherlands’s data center market is driven by factors such as the growing adoption of digital platforms, advanced technologies such as AI, the digital economy, increasing internet users & data traffic, government initiatives, and the rising growth in mobile and social media users which are expected to significantly enhance data traffic and demand for data centers.

The Dutch Data Center Association (DDA) was founded in January 2015 as the trade association representing the data center industry in the Netherlands, created to unite local and international operators, raise awareness of the sector’s economic importance, influence government policy, as well as promote growth and best practices across the industry.

Amsterdam, a notable part of the FLAP market, which includes Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, and Paris, continues to be at the forefront of the data center sector in the Netherlands. As of December 2025, the city is home to approximately 58 data center facilities, reflecting its dominance and appeal in this competitive landscape.

Despite regulatory tightening and persistent grid congestion challenges, the country continues to attract significant hyperscale, colocation, and AI-driven infrastructure investments. Amsterdam remains the dominant hub, accounting for the majority of capital deployed between 2026 and 2031, followed by emerging growth regions such as Groningen, Rotterdam, Hollands Kroon (Middenmeer), and Flevoland.
