The Colo-X 2015 review of the London retail colocation market updates our 2013 UK report with the latest changes and trends.

In particular, our research shows the changing mix and market shares in the UK retail colocation market. The changes have largely been driven by the massive growth in colocation facilities around the M25 over the past few years. They have also been fuelled by with the huge volume of wholesale capacity now available to retail colocation buyers.

Our analysis in the report shows how this shift has affected the retail colocation industry. The industry was 90% based in London Docklands 10 years ago, but now around 40% is based there. Notably, there is now more capacity available in the M25 market than in central London for the first time. Accompanying this change has been major structural shifts in the market, with old boundaries between retail, wholesale and service providers now all but gone.  It was these significant changes that drove the proposed Interxion/Telecity deal which was then usurped by Equinix’s bid for Telecity later in 2015.
