The Data Processing and Hosting Services industry has transformed over the past decade, with the growth of cloud computing creating new markets. Demand surged in line with heightened demand from banks and a rising number of mobile connections across Europe. Many companies regard cloud computing as an innovative way of reducing their operating costs, which has led to the introduction of new services that make the sharing of data more efficient. Over the five years through 2025, revenue is expected to hike at a compound annual rate of 4.3% to €113.5 billion, including a 5.6% jump in 2025. Industry profit has been constrained by pricing pressures between companies and regions. Investments in new-generation data centres, especially in digital hubs like Frankfurt, London, and Paris, have consistently outpaced available supply, underlining the continent’s insatiable appetite for processing power. Meanwhile, 5G network roll-outs and heightened consumer expectations for real-time digital services have made agile hosting and robust cloud infrastructure imperative, pushing providers to invest in both core and edge data solutions. Robust growth has been fuelled by rapid digitalisation, widespread cloud adoption, and exploding demand from sectors such as e-commerce and streaming. Scaling cloud infrastructure, driven by both established giants, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud and nimble local entrants, has allowed the industry to keep pace with unpredictable spikes in online activity and increasingly complex data needs. Rising investment in data centre capacity and the proliferation of high-availability hosting have significantly boosted operational efficiency and market competitiveness, with revenue growth closely tracking the boom in cloud and streaming services across the continent. Industry revenue is set to grow moving forward as European businesses incorporate data technology into their operations. Revenue is projected to boom, growing at a compound annual rate of 10.3% over the five years through 2030, to reach €185.4 billion. Growth is likely to be assisted by ongoing cloud adoption, accelerated 5G expansion, and soaring investor interest in hyperscale and sovereign data centres. Technical diversification seen in hybrid cloud solutions, edge computing deployments, and sovereign clouds, will create significant opportunities for incumbents and disruptors alike. Pricing pressures, intensified by global hyperscalers’ economies of scale and assertive licensing strategies, will pressurise profit, especially for smaller participants confronting rising capital expenditure and compliance costs.
