cycles in its history. Total installed IT power supply continues to expand at double-digit rates, with scale colocation facilies driving a rising share of capacity additions. The shift toward scale is significant: operators are increasingly developing larger, campus-based facilities that offer long-term expansion potential for cloud and Al workloads. accelerate. Southern Europe, the Nordics and certain Tier-2 metros digital infrastructure segments, driven by sustained demand for cloud are atracting unprecedented levels of investment, offen driven by on-ramps, high-density compute environments, interconnection improved connectivity, the availability of renewable power, and more services and, increasingly, sovereign hosting capacity. favourable permitting conditions. At the same time, near-metro and second-ring expansions around constrained hubs, such as Amsterdam, few metropolitan hubs, the market is now expanding across nearly Dublin, London and Frankfurt, are becoming an important pattern in all European regions. Power availability, renewable-energy access, market development. Second-ring expansions allow further growth in these regions. Key to the success of these expansions is the growing in determining where operators build next. As a result, Europe's scale of the individual data centre size, making the business case colocation landscape is shifting toward a multi-regional, multi-tier feasible to invest in strong (inter-)connectivity across a longer distance.
