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

SWITZERLAND DATA CENTER MARKET SIZE

The Switzerland data center market size will witness investments of USD 1,991 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 11.72% during the forecast period. Switzerland is one of the growing data center markets in the Western Europe region. In 2024, it contributed around 4% market share in terms of data center investments in Western Europe. We believe that the demand for data centers will increase in Switzerland. 

The Swiss government actively promotes the enhancement of digital infrastructure through various initiatives, including the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM), which regulates telecommunications and encourages private sector investments in terrestrial and submarine cable systems. The Digital Switzerland Strategy aims to improve nationwide broadband access, particularly in rural areas, to provide high-speed internet to all citizens and businesses by 2025.

In February 2025, the government of Switzerland plans to adopt the Council of Europe’s Convention on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and update its laws accordingly. This will be based on three main objectives such as reinforcing Switzerland as a center of innovation, safeguarding fundamental rights (including economic freedom), and increasing public trust in AI. The FDJP will draft a bill for consultation with DETEC and the FDFA by the end of 2026. Furthermore, in October 2024, ETH Zurich and EPF Lausanne (EPFL) launched the Swiss National AI Institute (SNAI), which helps AI-based research, education, and innovation across the country.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

1. In August 2024, the government of Switzerland took the initiative to improve cloud infrastructure across the country to fulfill the cloud demand. For instance, the Swiss government developed the Swiss Government Cloud (SGC) project. It will help to create a new cloud infrastructure to meet the specific needs of the confederation. This project will be managed by the Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication (FOITT) and is set to run from 2025 to 2032. The Swiss government Cloud (SGC) project will include three main components such as public cloud, public cloud on-prem, and private cloud on-prem.
2. In Switzerland, the government and data center operators took the initiative to increase the use of renewable energy, and many data center operators have adopted renewable energy for their data centers. For instance, in January 2025, Infomaniak, a Geneva-based cloud provider company, opened a newly built data center facility Geneva data center in Geneva, Switzerland, which is powered by 100% renewable energy from hydroelectric energy.
3. The AWS Region in Zurich is expected to create more than 2,500 full-time jobs, including construction, facility maintenance, engineering, and telecommunications, every year for the next 15 years by 2036.
4. In September 2024, Erne, a Swiss construction group, announced that it had signed a strategic partnership deal with FlexBase Group, a technology firm, to build an AI-ready data center in Laufenburg, which will use liquid cooling in cooling systems.
