CBRE Forecasts Significant Expansion for European Data Center Market by 2026
CBRE Group, Inc. has released a new outlook projecting robust growth for the data center sector across Europe. According to the commercial real estate services firm, the European market is positioned to expand by nearly a quarter in 2026. This anticipated surge underscores the increasing reliance on digital infrastructure and cloud computing capabilities throughout the region.
The forecast highlights a sustained demand for data storage and processing power, driven by enterprise digitalization and the proliferation of artificial intelligence.

Europe’s established connectivity and regulatory environment are cited as key factors supporting this upward trajectory.
Investors and stakeholders are monitoring this sector closely as data centers have become a critical component of the modern real estate landscape. The projected growth rate suggests a competitive and active market for development and acquisition in the coming years. This trend aligns with broader global patterns where digital infrastructure assets are attracting increased attention for their operational necessity.
Shares of CBRE Group, Inc. were trading at $149.50 during the current session, representing a market capitalization of approximately $44.26 billion. The stock is up 1.04% from the previous close of $147.96.
