Ireland Data Center Colocation Market - Supply & Demand Analysis 2024-2029

COLOCATION DEMAND AND SUPPLY HIGHLIGHTS

The Ireland data center colocation market size was valued at USD 490 million in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 710 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.38% during the forecast period. In Ireland, Dublin emerged as a key colocation data center hub, with more than 25 new facilities, driven by industry leaders such as Equinix, Echelon data centers, Keppel Data Centres, and CyrusOne, fueling the growth. Further, despite its small size, the colocation industry of Ireland has development constraints due to hyperscale operators' self-built data centers. However, with the projected removal of the de facto moratorium by 2028, expect considerable investments in the country, using cutting-edge sustainable technology.

In Ireland, retail colocation contributed to around 73% of the market, whereas wholesale colocation accounted for the remaining 27%. By 2029, the market share for retail colocation revenue is likely to decline to around 67%, and wholesale colocation revenue is likely to increase to around 33%. Furthermore, as of June 2024, the utilized power capacity of data centers in the Ireland industry stands at around 93% of the total installed power capacity. With the rising digitalization and growing demand in the industry, we expect a significant increase in the ratio of utilized capacity vs installed capacity by 2029.

Ireland's commitment to data protection is demonstrated by its compliance with GDPR and the implementation of the Data Protection Act in 2018, with recent progress highlighted by the introduction of the Digital Services Bill in 2023, which reinforces regulatory measures to protect digital privacy. Also, the country’s commitment to sustainability is incorporated in legislation, motivating it to meet high carbon emission reduction targets. By 2024, the country hopes to have 80% of its power coming from renewable sources, including significant capacity in offshore wind, onshore wind, and solar energy.
