UK Data Centre Market Trends

Tier 3 is the largest Tier Type

  • Tier 3 data centers are the most preferred due to features such as onsite assistance, power, and cooling redundancy. The Tier 3 DC market was operating at 1540.98 MW in 2022. The expected capacity during the forecast period is expected to grow from 1813.19 MW in 2023 to 3369.24 MW in 2029 at a CAGR of 10.88%. These data centers are 'concurrently maintainable' with redundant components as a key differentiator.
  • SMBs generally prefer to use at least a tier III-rated system for the far superior redundancy protections offered. In the United Kingdom, SMEs account for 99.9% of the business population. At the start of 2022, there were estimated to be 5.5 million businesses in the UK private sector. Major adoption of tier 3 facilities is reflected in BFSI, telecom, and media and entertainment users are majorly adopting wholesale and hyperscale colocation. As of 2022, there are around 148 Tier 3 data centers in the country, and around 28 upcoming data centers are under construction with Tier 3 standards.
  • Tier 4 is the next most preferred data centers by large enterprises due to their fault-tolerant functionality, lower downtime, and 99.99% uptime. It is expected that the market will showcase potential growth during the forecast period with the adoption of hyperscale colocation by major end users in the cloud and telecom sectors. The UK government's G-Cloud program is changing the way public sector organizations purchase information and communications technology. In 2022, the country had two Tier 4 data centers owned by Exascale Ltd and ServerMania.
  • The Tier 1&2 data centers are the least preferred due to their single path for power and cooling and providing expected uptime of 99.671% (28.8 hours of downtime annually) when compared to Tier 3 and Tier 4 facilities.
