The rising construction of mega data centers and the colocation trend are expected to drive the industry expansion. In September 2020, NTT Limited announced to open the Hamstead 4 Data Center in the UK by the fourth quarter of 2021. Mega data centers store and process a large amount of data and require high-capacity servers to manage & monitor the functioning of IT equipment. The exponential and rapid growth in data consumed by various individuals, organizations, and businesses will boost the market demand.

According to the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the COVID-19 pandemic impacted several European countries through five transmission channels including trade, value chain, commodity prices, the financial & credits market, and tourism. According to the European Parliament, compared to the global economy, the euro area has experienced a larger hit in 2020 and will experience a slower recovery in 2021. The EU is significantly lagging in the recovery forecasts compared to China (7.9% growth for 2021).

The IT sector in Europe witnessed high demand in FY2020 due to work from home and remote working.
