Industrial Hubs and Colocation Growth in the UK
The UK is a significant hub for industrial parks and estates in the Western European region, with key locations including Ransomes Industrial Estate, Slough Trading Estate, Thorp Arch Trading Estate, Springfield Road Industrial Area, and Trafford Park. To meet the increasing demand for colocation services, operators such as Ark Data Centres, Datum, Kao Data, and Pulsant are actively expanding their infrastructure by constructing and upgrading data center facilities. As of March 2023, the cost of industrial land ranged between $3–$7 per square foot, with prices varying by region. Higher costs are observed in West London and North London, while comparatively lower prices are seen in South London and East London.
The UK Growing ImportanceRole of UK in the Data Center Market
In the Western European landscape, the UK has emerged as a prominent player in the data center market. Its robust submarine cable infrastructure, which connects key global data center hubs, makes the country an attractive destination for significant investments and operational expansion by leading global cloud operators.
Renowned players in the cloud services sector, including AWS, Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, Tencent, IBM, and Oracle, have firmly established their presence in the thriving UK market.
In November 2023, Google made a strategic move by acquiring a 129-acre plot (formerly Arena Essex Raceway) in Purfleet, Essex, for $57.3 million. This development, located in the PowerGate neighborhood, aligns with the rising demand for data centers in the UK, marking it as a key investment in Google’s infrastructure portfolio.
Similarly, in October 2023, Microsoft committed to expanding its data center presence with plans for a new facility in Newport, Wales. The company confirmed its intention to seek planning permission for a data center at Quinn Imperial Park, reinforcing its ongoing investment in data center infrastructure. The location, near Vantage’s Newport campus, further strengthens the region as a critical hub for tech and data center developments.
The influx of major global cloud service providers, strategic investments by tech giants like Google and Microsoft, and collaborations between governmental departments and leading cloud service firms underscore the UK’s pivotal role in the evolving data infrastructure landscape.
Colocation Services Market Revenue and Trends
As of June 2024, revenue generated for colocation services ranges between $1 million to $4 million per megawatt (MW). In 2023, the total revenue from existing colocation operators reached approximately $3.69 billion, with retail colocation operators currently holding the largest market share.
However, market forecasts indicate a shift in dynamics, with revenue from wholesale colocation expected to grow significantly. Wholesale colocation is projected to contribute 50% to 60% of the total market revenue during the forecast period. This growth is largely driven by the expansion of major cloud service providers, including Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Web Services, which are increasingly adopting hyperscale colocation services to meet their infrastructure needs.
Additionally, the entry of new players into the market is expected to drive competition, leading to a decline in the cost of wholesale and hyperscale colocation services.
