State of European Data Centres 2025 

The State of European Data Centres 2025 is the inaugural flagship report from the European Data Centre Association (EUDCA), offering an unprecedented deep dive into the infrastructure that powers Europe’s digital economy. Developed in collaboration with National Trade Associations and leading researchers, this full report goes far beyond the management summary - presenting a large, data-driven examination of the economic, environmental, and technological landscape of Europe’s colocation and hyperscale data centres.

Inside, the report reveals how €100 billion in investments are reshaping Europe’s data centre landscape, advancing AI, boosting digital sovereignty, and expanding from FLAP-D hubs to fast-growing Nordic and Southern regions. It highlights a projected €83.8 billion GDP impact and over 80,000 jobs by 2030, while addressing key challenges like power access, skills shortages, and sustainability, underscored by the sector’s use of 94% renewable energy.

Whether you’re a policymaker, investor, data centre operator, or digital strategist, this report is the critical intelligence you need to navigate the future of digital infrastructure in Europe.
