Sweden Data Center Construction Market Trends

IT and Telecom to have significant market share

• The cloud and telecom segments are expected to generate the highest revenue among end-user industries in the Swedish data center market. In contrast, the manufacturing segment is expected to witness the highest growth, amounting to 8.25% over the forecast period. The IT load demand from the manufacturing end-user segment is expected to reach nearly 45.56 MW by 2029 from 25.97 MW in 2022, owing to the growing Industry 4.0 initiatives in the manufacturing sector, which is a significant backbone of the country's economy.
• The telecommunications end-user industry segment is expected to maintain its dominance owing to the growing usage of 5G services among users. In Sweden, 5G mobile data speed is expected to grow significantly and reach 591 Mbps by 2029 from 333.9 Mbps in 2021. Such factors suggest increasing data traffic and growing demand for data center servers.
• The Swedish government is expanding its focus across e-health and online education. For instance, it implemented the "Swedish National Digitalization Strategy for the School System 2017- 2022," which enables children, students, and staff to access relevant digital tools based on their needs and tailored to their conditions.
• The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) and the national government have established a vision for a Swedish e-Health plan. As per this vision, Sweden will invest USD 1.22 billion toward utilizing the opportunities afforded by digitization and eHealth, making it easier for all individuals to achieve good medical services by 2025.
• Major industries such as e-commerce, media, healthcare, telecom, and government are expected to significantly boost the demand for data center services and solutions as more service aggregators try connecting the urban populations with rural cultures and heritage, thereby offering a growth platform for MSMEs in the country.

Stockholm is expected to witness majority of data center construction in the country

• Stockholm has a major share of facilities in Sweden, followed by Falun, Pitea, and others. Stockholm DC's facilities' share accounted for 61% and others 39%. Stockholm is one of Europe's fastest-growing tech startup scenes, producing startups. This outstanding accomplishment demonstrates the power of the market, which is distinguished for its entrepreneurial spirit and thriving culture of interdisciplinary collaboration.
• The total IT load capacity in Stockholm is expected to register a CAGR of 6.29%, surpassing 265.05 MW by 2029. On the other hand, the rest of Sweden is predicted to register a CAGR of 5.22% to reach a capacity of 154.67 MW by 2029.
• Stockholm City in Sweden is implementing policies across all sectors to reach the goal of zero CO2 emissions in the coming years. Data center operators, like Conapto and Multigrid in Stockholm, operate their data centers on 100% renewable energy. In other hotspots, operators operate on renewable energy. For instance, EcoDataCentre's main site has a capacity of 500 MW of renewable power. Electricity consumed at this site in Falun is 100% wind and hydropower; at Pitea, it is 100% hydropower.
• Infrastructure development in Falun, Patia, Gothenburg, Falkenberg, and Lund regions was crucial for easing the economic pressure on the Stockholm region and developing the rest of the country. For instance, EcoDataCenter announced plans to build a new data center facility at its campus in Falun, Sweden, wherein it was investing SEK 1 billion (USD 102 million) in a new 15 MW facility.
