New research from commercial real estate services and investment firm, CBRE, projects 937MW of new supply in European markets in 2025. If this data centre supply is delivered, it will set a new record for Europe, representing an increase of 282MW more than the 655MW of capacity delivered last year.
More than half (57 per cent) of this capacity is expected to be delivered in the leading European data centre markets – Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris and Dublin – collectively referred to as FLAPD.
In 2024, facilities of unprecedented size were delivered across Europe for the industry’s largest customers, but demand for colocation data centre space continued to outstrip supply, at 706MW and 655MW respectively. Customer appetite for capacity has grown despite the difficulties data centre providers are having sourcing power and available land for new facilities.
Nevertheless, a greater proportion of supply will be delivered to Europe’s smaller secondary markets than ever before. CBRE expects double-digit supply growth in five of the 10 secondary European markets tracked in 2025. There are seven markets, such as Milan and Madrid, expected to have 100MW of supply or more by year-end, compared to just four markets at the end of 2022.
Kevin Restivo, Head of European Data Centre Research commented: “The data centre construction boom will continue unabated. Available power and appropriate land, government incentives, and hyperscaler ambitions are key factors that are driving the rapid growth of markets such as Milan, as well as the continued expansion of leading markets like London and Frankfurt.”
Managing incoming deliveries in facilities, whether for a retail business, a corporate office, residential complex or healthcare facility, requires a seamless flow to ensure efficiency and security.
Software development and logistics consultancy, ZoneManager, has launched a quick and easy survey to learn how your sites are managing their inbound deliveries, the issues that delivery management systems could help solve and get an idea of the most likely sites that might require a delivery management solution. This will help ZoneManager determine the top priorities for FMs when choosing a delivery management option.
