In-depth analysis and data-driven insights on the impact of COVID-19 included in this UK data center market report.

CHICAGO, Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The UK data center market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 1.86% during the period 2020−2026. The UK data center market research report includes market size in terms of area, investment, power capacity, and colocation revenues. Get insights on 186 Existing and 11 Upcoming facilities spread across Greater London, Berkshire, Greater Manchester, and other counties.

Key Highlights Offered in the Report:  

  1. The UK is the largest data center market in Western Europe and a part of the FLAP markets. The data center market is thriving due to increased digitalization, strong connectivity with other markets, and adoption of advanced technology such as IoT and big data.
  2. The UK moved out of the European Union (Brexit) on January 31, 2020. Until the transition phase is over, the UK-based organizations will have to abide by the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and the UK Data Protection Act 2019. Brexit has led many organizations to open or expand data center facilities in the country.
  3. With 56 existing third party data centers, Greater London is a major data center hub in the UK, with its data centers contributing to around 37% of the existing power capacity in the country, followed by Berkshire, that contributed around 20% of the existing power capacity.
  4. London will witness increased brownfield investment, especially in commercial buildings in coming years. For example, Ark Data Centres acquired Renault Retail Group's West London showroom in 2020 for the development of a data center facility set on five acres of land.
  5. The UK market is also witnessing the entry of new players. SliverEdge DC was a new entrant in the UK market in 2020. CloudHQ and Pure Data Centres are some other data center operators planning to develop hyperscale campuses in the UK.
  6. In 2020, the renewable energy production in the UK was estimated at around 40%. In March 2021, the Scottish government launched the green data center action plan that listed 12 potential data center locations, enabling investors to achieve zero-carbon data center goals.

UK Data Center Market – Segmentation

  • Software-defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) tools have gained traction in the market with several organizations using these tools for cloud migration. In 2020, Kao Data partnered with Megaport to offer a private Software Defined Networking (SDN) access to clients to improve cloud and connectivity ecosystems.
  • Diesel generators are widely adopted among data center operators in the UK market. The presence of data centers in populated areas is likely to increase concerns over carbon emission, which are likely to push the adoption of efficient generator systems such as DRUPS.
  • Data center facilities open and under construction from 2020 to June 2021 added over 17,000 rack cabinets. Higher rack units of 45U, 47U, 48U to 52U are adopted among data center operators, thereby replacing 42U racks during the forecast period.

In February 2020, Google announced the migration of the UK user data related to services such as Gmail, YouTube, and Android Play Store from Ireland to the US to avoid post Brexit legal risks. Government initiatives such as Local Digital Declaration, Technology Code of Practice, Cloud First Policy, and Digital Marketplace will attract organizations to adopt the public cloud in the UK.
