Norway Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2025-2030

NORWAY DATA CENTER MARKET SIZE

The Norway data center market size is expected to reach USD 2.79 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.29% during the forecast period. The implementation of the Personal Data Act in Norway, which aligns with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), has driven significant investments in data centers as organizations focus on meeting the data localization requirements as well as ensuring the secure processing and storage of personal information within the European Union. Moreover, many enterprises are migrating their workloads to the cloud and incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations. Further, due to the increasing reliance on cloud services, global cloud companies such as Google are considering developing hyperscale data centers to meet the demand for increasing data center infrastructure.

The Norway data center market is growing rapidly owing to rising cloud adoption, increased internet usage, as well as the adoption of advanced technologies such as AI, big data, and IoT. Government initiatives, including the implementation of the data center strategy and expanding 5G infrastructure across the country, are boosting digitalization across various sectors such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. The country benefits from strong connectivity, with over 13 existing and three new submarine cable systems enhancing its global network reach.

In April 2024, the Norwegian government announced plans to implement regulations targeting the data center sector, aiming to mitigate crypto mining activities. The proposed legal framework will require data center operators to register their information regarding the use of such facilities for cryptocurrency mining within the country.
