The Belgium data center market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.18% from 2024 to 2030.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
The demand for cloud computing in Belgium is experiencing significant growth, creating promising opportunities for cloud investors. This expansion is driven by factors such as government initiatives, rising cybersecurity threats, as well as the growing use of digitalization in different sectors and industries. For instance, in January 2025, Euroclear, a Belgian financial services company, announced the signing of a seven-year cloud agreement with Microsoft to utilize its cloud services for financial operations.
Belgium accounts for the presence of ample renewable resources such as wind energy, solar energy, biomass, hydro, and marine. In 2024, Belgium produced around 30% of its electricity from its green energy sources. The country is set to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
In October 2024, the European Investment Bank (EIB) announced the signing of the green credit facility agreement with Elia Transmission Belgium (ETB) for around USD 700 million to build the artificial energy island; this will connect Belgium to around 3.5 GW of offshore wind power energy.
According to the Belgian Institute for Postal Services and Telecommunications (BIPT), the Belgian telecoms regulator, around 50% of households in Belgium will be equipped with FTTP (Fiber to the Premises/Property) by 2025; FTTP uses optical fiber to provide high-speed internet connections to individual homes, apartments, and other properties. By 2028, this reach is expected to increase to 75% of households.
Data centers are the backbone of digital infrastructure as they are interconnected across the globe. However, there are significant concerns regarding their effects on the environment, sustainability, and energy use. To address these challenges, the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed the EU Code of Conduct (CoC) for data centers.
