Switzerland Data Center Market Trends



Tier 3 is the largest Tier Type




  • The Tier 3 segment of the market had the largest market share of 81.5%, with an IT load capacity of 371 MW in 2022. It is further projected to exhibit a CAGR of 1.9%, surpassing 435.49 MW by 2029. On the other hand, tier 4 data centers are expected to gain traction with a projected CAGR of 15.49% to reach a capacity of 226 MW by 2029.

  • Tier 1&2 segments already have an adequate supply of retail colocation and large-scale builds to cater to the increasing hyperscale cloud requirements, which are driving the demand as the need for lower latency and more efficiency is growing.

  • Facilities in Tier 1 and Tier 2 data centers gradually lose their demand and display a decrease in growth in the upcoming years. Tier 1&2 facilities are expected to hold a market share of nearly 1.6% by 2029 with minimal growth. This is a result of the prolonged and inconsistent outages. Most users eventually switch to Tier 3 and Tier 4 facilities, holding 62.4% and 36% of market shares, respectively, owing to the increased demand for storing, processing, and analyzing data.

  • The fintech sector of the economy is expanding. In 2018, SIX, which is the main infrastructure provider for the Swiss financial market, plans cloud for banking in Switzerland.

  • Tier 4 data centers are expected to expand significantly in the years to come due to the fact that more businesses are providing cloud-based services, which caused more businesses to construct facilities to provide colocation space with the best technology. For instance, cloud expenditure in Switzerland was already CHF?4.93 billion in 2021, and only 5% of companies adopted cloud services by 2022.
