Norway Data Center Colocation Market - Supply & Demand Analysis 2025-2030

NORWAY DATA CENTER COLOCATION DEMAND AND SUPPLY HIGHLIGHTS

The Norway data center colocation market size was valued at USD 366 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.45 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 25.86% during the forecast period. Norway is one of the growing and emerging data center colocation markets in Europe, which consists of approximately 30 operational data center facilities across multiple cities, such as Oslo, Gaupne, Ovrebo, Stavanger, Telemark, Trondheim, Maloy, Halden, Skein, Glomfjord, Hellandsbygd, Narvik, Sirdal, and others. Among all these cities, the highest data center absorption rate is seen in Oslo, which accounted for around 17 operational data center facilities as of December 2024.

The colocation companies in the Norway data center colocation market are investing significantly to develop data centers, which can offer higher IT power capacities to support high-density racks for processing artificial intelligence workloads and high-performance computing. For instance, in March 2025, Nscale collaborated with InfraPartners for expanding its Glomfjord data center by adding additional IT power capacity of around 60 MW. Also, the country hosts numerous industrial parks, which support enterprises, including data center operators by offering several benefits, such as, offering industrial land at affordable prices, offering tax deductions, foreign ownership, and shared resources facility, as well as providing basic infrastructure support, like, transport, logistics, power, network, water, and others to establish and operate their businesses within these industrial parks. Some of the prominent industrial parks in Norway include Mongstad Industrial Park, Horten Industrial Park, Raufoss Industrial Park, and others.

The Norway data center colocation market is driven by several growth factors, including a surge in adoption of artificial intelligence applications, increasing demand for cloud computing services, government support for the data center industry, rapid digitalization, increasing submarine and inland connectivity, sustainability initiatives among data center companies, and other factors are driving the investments in the data center industry.

The data regulation acts, such as Norway’s Personal Data Act, which aligns with the General Data Protection Regulation, enforce strict control over data storage and processing, which increases the confidence of customers to host their data in cloud platforms and third-party data centers by mandating service providers to ensure stringent data security. Furthermore, the Norway data center colocation market is witnessing the entry of several new entrants, such as Bitzero Blockchain, GreenScale, OpenAI, Polar, Skygard Data Center (Telenor, Hafslund, and HitecVision), DDN & Polarise, WS Computing AS, Keysource + Namsos Datasenter.

Data center operators are prioritizing installing advanced liquid cooling technologies, such as direct-to-chip liquid cooling and immersion cooling, in their data center facilities to manage efficient thermal management. This trend is expected to increase in the upcoming years. For instance, the Lefdal Mine data center facility in Måløy, Norway, has been installed with immersion cooling technology for efficient thermal management. Furthermore, the country consists of around 14 operational submarine cables, and it is experiencing the development of three new submarine cables, which are expected to accelerate Norway’s digital connectivity with other nations, such as Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and others.

In Norway, Oslo is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by around 90% to 95% by 2030, and the country aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 70% to 75% by 2035. Data center operators are adopting various sustainability initiatives, such as procuring renewable energy to operate their facilities, using environmentally friendly construction materials, and replacing diesel generators with Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil-powered generators, aligning with the country’s broader sustainability goals.
