The data centre sector is booming, reaching a critical inflection point. However, this rapid expansion brings a unique set of challenges. How should the sector prepare to navigate the complexities of the supply chain, rising costs, and increasing power demands?
Our latest annual Data Centre Trends Report, based on insights from 535 executives across the UK and Europe, delves deep into the current landscape, revealing the realities of this dynamic market. The report uncovers opportunities and obstacles, from soaring demand and supply chain strains to the critical need for innovation and resilience.
Despite a perceived decrease in disruption compared to last year, the 2025 findings highlight the continuing price rises and the significant strain faced by the supply chain to keep pace with demand.
