PMR and Atman Polish Data Centre Market Insight 2024

Paweł Olszynka, ICT Business Unit Director, PMR:

Data centres are one of the most rapidly growing, but at the same time energy-intensive and power consuming sectors of the economy. The Polish data centre market is now expected to triple its power resources by 2030. PMR forecasts indicate that operators in Poland will have a total of at least 500 MW of data centre power capacity by 2030. The main challenges for the industry in the next few years are related to regulatory factors emphasising a low carbon footprint, sustainability and the need for detailed reporting. The expansion of AI and the development of the wholesale market will force an increase in the use of liquid cooling. The very centre part of the investment map will remain Warsaw and its suburbs.

This material was prepared on the basis of the latest 2024 edition of PMR's flagship and comprehensive report on the data centre market, issued continuously since 2010: Data centre market in Poland 2024. Market analysis and development forecasts for 2024-2029
