INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

The UK data center market size will witness investments of USD 10.18 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 2.75% during the forecast period. In the Western European region, the UK is one the major hubs for industrial parks/estates; some of them are Ransomes Industrial Estate, Slough Trading Estate, Thorp Arch Trading Estate, Springfield Road Industrial Area, Trafford Park, and others located across the country. These businesses attract new and foreign investors with tax exemptions and infrastructure support.

AWS, Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, Tencent, IBM, and Oracle are some of the global cloud service providers operating across the UK. Some of them are investing in expanding their presence across the country. For instance, AWS invests in two data center facilities in Swindon and Dicot. Further, the UK data center market is connected to several major markets, with around 56 submarine cables. 2Africa, Amitie, and BT North Sea are three upcoming submarine cables connecting the UK to major markets worldwide.

The UK government has set targets to achieve carbon neutrality goals by 2050. For instance, the Greater Manchester administration has set its target for city development as carbon-neutral by 2038, ensuring a low-carbon future. Moreover, as a part of sustainability initiatives, many private and public organizations are investing in adopting renewable energy for their operations and achieving carbon neutrality goals. For instance, Vodafone signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) in February 2023 with ten renewable energy plant sites in the UK for the next ten years.
