Seven new datacenter projects announced in the Netherlands, adding over 40,000 square feet of capacity.

Fiber connectivity, availability of renewable energy, free cooling, and district heating have positioned the Netherlands as a favorable location for data center development. Cloud spending in the Netherlands increased by 10%, generating revenue of $2.5 billion in 2019. The country ranks first in connectivity according to the EU's Digital Economy and Society Index, with Amsterdam (AMS-IX) among the largest internet exchange points in the world, hosting over 800 networks connected through the platform. Amsterdam accounts for over 60% of the data center market in the Netherlands, with analysts at Arizton expecting multiple new entrants involved in the procurement of land parcels for data center development over the next five years. Prominent investors in the Netherlands data center market include Equinix, Interxion, DataCenter.com, Alticom, Bytesnet, and Google.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a moderate impact on the Netherlands market. Non-essential construction projects have been halted to prevent virus spread, though construction work continues following government guidelines for the construction sector. However, COVID-19 is expected to have a higher impact on projects scheduled to open in Q4 2020 and 2021.

The Netherlands contributed 18% of overall investment in Europe, followed by Germany. Due to BREXIT, Netherlands investment is anticipated to grow as enterprises migrate their applications from the UK. The data center market is likely to experience increases in land cost and power pricing by 2025. Colocation providers in the Netherlands added approximately 200 MW of power capacity between 2017 and 2020. The acquisition of Interxion by Digital Realty in 2020 is expected to strengthen the growth of retail and wholesale colocation investments in the market.
