"Power shortages, combined with increased regulation, inhibit data center development in Europe," says Andrew Jay, CBRE's head of data center solutions, Europe.
The European data center market's 20% growth faces issues like supply shortages, particularly in core markets like Frankfurt, with preleasing becoming common and power sourcing remaining a challenge.

Singapore faces severe power constraints with minimal available capacity, causing rental rates to soar, while emerging markets attract increasing data center investment.
