The Switzerland data center market was valued at USD 2.28 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 2.78 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 3.37% from 2022-2027. The market is preferred for investments due to the geographical advantages like data center free colling, less prone to natural calamities, high availability of the data center infrastructure supplement and technology, and highly qualified labor with low tax rates. Cloud service providers such as Microsoft, Google, and Oracle have a strong presence in Switzerland and are expanding further with the construction of new availability zones. For instance, in June 2022, Microsoft added an availability zone in its Zurich Azure region in Switzerland.

The industry is aided by factors such as growth in the adoption of cloud-based services, adoption of AI, big data & IoT, and deployment of 5G network services. In terms of renewable energy, the Energy Strategy 2050 focuses on boosting renewable energy generation in Switzerland. It aims to add around 11,400 GWh (excluding hydroelectric) renewable energy to its electricity generation mix by 2035. The region’s market is one of the most mature markets of Western Europe as it is well connected to the FLAPD markets such as Germany, France, and Italy.
