Market Opportunities & Trends
EMEA Data Center Colocation Market: Segmentation Power outages and fluctuations due to grid instability make UPS systems critical components of data center operations. Although many facilities do not suffer from power outages, power fluctuations increase the importance of UPS systems for continuous operations. Continuous innovations in these backup systems, such as lithium-ion batteries, have increased their applicability in the energy-consuming industry, such as data centers. The use of indirect evaporative coolers and air/water-side economizers will continue to grow in Nordic and Northern Western Europe countries. The need to reduce CAPEX and OPEX, conserve data center space, and reduce power supply to cooling units, the coolers segment is expected to grow during the forecast period. Innovations in rack units are driving the rack market. 42U rack units are the commonly used one in EMEA data centers. However, the market has witnessed an increased demand for 45U, 47U, and 48U racks installed in large capacities recently. Vendors are also continually introducing rack with innovative designs that provide 80% airflow perforation, with enhanced cabling channels, and more support for weight capacity. The high demand for hyperscale services is driving the market share of the building development segment. Colocation service providers such as AWS, Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft employ professionals to work alongside construction contractors and design and architectural firms to build data centers. The DCIM segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing construction of facilities has increased power consumption and carbon emissions. Therefore, the monitoring of each IT infrastructure component, especially in medium- and large-sized facilities, becomes cumbersome. Hence, the installation of DCIMs, which are integrated into the data center infrastructure for monitoring and managing the facility, is expected to grow. Besides, power surges are also leading to infrastructure failures and equipment damage. Retail colocation services are likely to grow among several African and Eastern Europen countries. Companies are shifting from on-premise to colocation services to improve reliability and scalability in their services. The increased demand for business-specific IT infrastructure with 100% uptime and scalability is driving organizations to shift from on-premise to colocation services. .

Key Vendor Analysis For instance, Equinix completed the acquisition of Switch Datacenter AMS1 to expand its operations in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The company expands or constructs new facilities due to the growing demand for cloud-based services. Moreover, the market in Western Europe and Nordic is likely to witness more construction of wholesale data center space than retail during the forecast period. The Western Europe market has witnessed multiple mergers and acquisitions in the past decade. CyrusOne acquisitions of Zenium Data Centers in 2018, has helped CyrusOne to establish a strong base in Germany, meanwhile expanding in the UK and the Netherlands markets.
