Norway Data Center Market Trends



Tier 3 is the largest Tier Type




  • Growing awareness among countries to increase sustainability practices and offer a better quality of life to its citizens has led to the rising number of smart cities in Norway. Evolving smart cities, in addition to factors such as the use of smart devices for streaming, playing games, transactions, online food ordering, home security, and lighting, have led to increased consumption of data.

  • Tier 3 and tier 4 data centers have advanced infrastructure facilities and offer additional features such as remote assistance, disaster recovery, lower downtime, and low latency; therefore, large enterprises like content-oriented companies prefer using these data centers. Tier 3 and tier 4 facilities are expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, with 59.2% and 39.5%, respectively, of the studied market by 2029. Tier 3 is expected to witness a decrease in market share, while tier 4 data centers will gain traction due to the country’s increasing digital inclusion.

  • For instance, around 1.9 million people used food delivery applications for ordering food in Norway, which generated an annual value of around USD 223.9 million in 2022, suggesting the growing acceptance of quick commerce software. Also, since the number of users accessing social media in Norway increased from 3 million in 2014 to 4.75 million in 2022, this has led to clients opting for tier 4 data centers to provide uninterrupted service. Streaming services require delivering high-quality content and low latency for the best viewing experience.

  • Hence, growing data consumption is expected to increase the IT load capacity of tier 4 data centers from 105.2 MW in 2023 to 293.4 MW by 2029 at a CAGR of 18.65%.
