UK Data Centre Pipeline Exceeds £36 Billion

Rise in Data Centre Construction

The UK’s data centre pipeline has reached a record £36 billion, according to industry reports released in August 2025. With rapid growth in cloud computing, artificial intelligence and digital services, the demand for high-capacity, energy-efficient data centres has never been greater.

Major projects are underway across London, Manchester and other tech hubs, with developers seeking construction partners capable of delivering complex, high-security facilities.

Why this matters for the construction industry:

• High-spec build requirements – Data centres demand precision engineering, advanced cooling systems and robust security infrastructure.

• Sustainability focus – Many projects are prioritising renewable energy integration and green building practices.

• Ongoing demand – As data usage grows, the market is expected to expand significantly over the next decade.
