Poland Data Center Market Trends



Tier 3 is the largest Tier Type




  • Tier 4 data centers lead the market in terms of tier capacity. Tier 4 data centers are expected to increase from 65.2 MW in 2023 to 226.7 MW by 2029 while recording a CAGR of 23.1%. The initial data centers constructed were small and had basic infrastructure facilities. These facilities were Tier 1&2, which served a minimal purpose and had fewer racks. Growing demand for smartphone applications by Polish users for various digitized services has led companies to opt for data centers housing more racks, better infrastructure facilities, better bandwidths, and lower downtime. This led the IT load capacity to increase from 23 MW in 2017 to 65.2 MW in 2023.

  • Tier 1&2 facilities witnessed a steady demand over the years and are expected to see steady growth over the coming years as well. Tier 1&2 facilities held a market share of 8% in 2017 and are expected to hold an 8% share in 2023 and 9% in 2029. On the other hand, the demand for Tier 4 facilities has gained traction as its market share increased gradually from 12.9% in 2017. It is expected to reach 26.8% and 37.7% in 2023 and 2029, respectively.

  • Nearly 24 facilities are configured under Tier 3 standards, which are majorly preferred by small, medium, and large data center facilities. Of these 24 facilities, 11 of them are located in Warsaw, which is one of the prime hotspots for data center facilities as it is the economic capital of the country.

  • The development of smart cities and connected network solutions have triggered the adoption of Tier 4 facilities. For instance, Tychy recently implemented a new intelligent transport system (ITS) that would help Poland monitor real-time traffic. Thus, to facilitate uninterrupted vigilance with assured uptime to process these huge amounts of data, Tier 3 and Tier 4 data center facilities are expected to grow proportionally.
