According to Arizton research, the Netherlands data center colocation market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.89% during the forecast period. The country hosts around 127 operational colocation facilities, with Amsterdam leading development through its 56 advanced data centers.
Major operators such as Equinix, Digital Realty, NorthC, and EdgeConneX continue to expand capacity, while new entrants like Goodman and CloudHQ are increasing competition. However, the nationwide moratorium on new hyperscale data centers, allowing construction only in select regions like Groningen and North Holland, has moderated large-scale capacity additions, guiding the market toward more sustainable, policy-aligned growth.

The Netherlands Leads Europe’s Smart Data Revolution.
The Netherlands is emerging as a key connector between digital transformation and industrial innovation. In 2024, the intersection of big data and IoT is redefining how the country builds and operates its data centers, turning them into intelligent hubs that manage the flood of data from smart devices, cities, and industries. Amsterdam and Eindhoven are at the forefront, integrating IoT, 5G, and AI to create more responsive and efficient urban systems. The acquisition of TWTG Group B.V. by IMI Plc in October 2024 reflects rising global interest in the Netherlands’ IoT capabilities. Beyond infrastructure, the technology is transforming sectors such as healthcare and energy, where IoT-enabled smart grids and remote monitoring are driving operational precision and sustainability. As these technologies converge, the Netherlands is not just hosting data, it’s shaping the next wave of connected, data-driven growth in Europe.
Key Highlights of the Netherlands Data Center Colocation Market
- Amsterdam leads the Netherlands’ data center capacity with 662.8 MW (core & shell), 611.7 MW (installed), and 538 MW (utilized), reflecting an efficient 88% utilization rate and mature infrastructure performance.
- The Netherlands accounts for 2.8% of Europe’s data center market (2024), serving as a low-latency gateway to the continent. Nearly 90% of Dutch Data Center Association member facilities are powered by renewable energy.
- Solar energy dominates the renewable mix, contributing 67% of clean power generation. Data centers are increasingly adopting solar-based systems to lower emissions and support sustainability goals.
- Favorable climate conditions, with average winter temperatures around 3°C and summer temperatures near 17°C, enable energy-efficient cooling, reducing reliance on high-power air conditioning systems.
The Netherlands Turns Data Centers into Engines of Urban Energy
The Netherlands is setting a global benchmark for sustainable data center innovation by linking digital infrastructure with urban energy networks. Through district heating systems, data centers are turning waste heat into a renewable resource, warming nearby homes and businesses while cutting emissions. This integration isn’t just environmental; it’s strategic. As digital and climate policies converge, waste heat reuse is becoming a defining feature of sustainable data center operations. In 2024, nearly 57% of Dutch data centers were already reusing residual heat, according to the Dutch Data Center Association. Leading operators such as Google, Digital Realty, NorthC, and Microsoft are investing in large-scale heat recovery programs. Extending this momentum, Heijmans announced a new North Holland facility in 2025 designed to supply district heating near Haarlem, strengthening the Netherlands’ position at the forefront of green data infrastructure.
Beyond Broadband: How the Netherlands Is Powering Europe’s AI Economy.
The Netherlands is emerging as a strategic leader in Europe’s digital and AI transformation. With internet penetration surpassing 99% in early 2025 and over 18 million connected users, the country has built one of the most advanced digital ecosystems globally. Supported by strong public–private collaboration, digital adoption is accelerating across sectors such as education, healthcare, and commerce. Ranked seventh globally in the Government AI Readiness Index 2024, the Netherlands leads Europe in AI implementation, with 95% of organizations already running AI programs. The establishment of AINed, a national AI testing facility co-funded by the National Growth Fund, underscores the country’s focus on safe and scalable innovation. According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, digital infrastructure contributes nearly $28 billion to national welfare, reinforcing the Netherlands’ position as a frontrunner in Europe’s connected economy.
