AI is powering a boom in demand for data centres \u2013 but can supply chains withstand the pressure? Nikki Venetsanakis, head of advanced tech, UK & Europe at Rider Levett Bucknall, takes a look<\/h2>\n

Rider Levett Bucknall\u2019s second annual Data Centre Trends report showed the industry is experiencing unparalleled growth.<\/p>\n

Last, over 470 data centre operators and contractors told us they projected a 65% increase in commissioned capacity over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

However, this year\u2019s report, where over 535 data centre stakeholders were surveyed, shows that demand has surpassed expectations, with commissioned capacity having surged by nearly 300% since 2023, and operators averaging 47MW each in 2025.<\/p>\n

Key drivers of growth<\/h3>\n

The influx of private equity investment, coupled with AI-driven demand<\/a>, is accelerating the need for energy, power density and liquid cooling. Operators anticipate 61% of their estates will be liquid cooled by 2030, and 73% of respondents report increasing power density requirements from data centre occupants.<\/p>\n

The market for data centre retrofits is also expanding, with 66% of respondents planning to retrofit at least a quarter of their estates in the next five years.<\/p>\n

Supply chain struggles and cost pressures<\/h3>\n

Despite this rapid growth, the industry faces significant supply chain challenges. Over 70% of respondents believe the supply chain is failing to keep pace, and 53% fear that the sector won\u2019t meet capacity demands.<\/p>\n

Adding to the pressure, escalating costs are impacting the market, with an estimated average price increase of 5% year on year, including 3.0% uninterruptable power supply, 2.8% battery energy storage systems and 2.2% generators.<\/p>\n

Seizing opportunities through strategic planning<\/h3>\n

However, at RLB we believe the pace of growth and the supply chain constraints can be seen as an opportunity as well as a challenge.<\/p>\n

To navigate these constraints, industry leaders must adopt a proactive, forward-thinking approach. Early supplier engagement, flexible planning and adaption to market shifts will be essential.<\/p>\n

With only 21% having broadened their supply chain and under one in five of respondents adopting vendor-managed inventory agreements, there is opportunity for the industry to work differently.<\/p>\n

10 key strategies for supply chain resilience<\/h3>\n

1. Retrofitting ageing data centres<\/strong>: 10\u201315-year-old data centres can serve many needs including meeting the AI demand and enhancing efficiencies to comply with new regulations. Early design and commercial reviews are critical for cost-effective refits.<\/p>\n

2. Select strategic locations<\/strong>: Collaborate with designers to develop cost-effective facilities in high-growth regions, considering infrastructure, current and future power availability and analysing zoning regulations and local permitting processes.<\/p>\n

3. Leverage data for better decision-making<\/strong>: Implement an information management system to ensure real time, accurate data is available for decision making.<\/p>\n

4. Innovate in energy sourcing<\/strong>: Think laterally on the future of energy, considering innovative solutions and long-term strategies. Consider collaborating with local energy providers or exploring the use of small or micro-modular reactors.<\/p>\n

5. Ensure regulatory compliance<\/strong>: Make sure when building a new facility or retrofitting that accreditations and standards are compliant with current regulations such as LEED and BREEAM.<\/p>\n

6. Secure connectivity and sustainability<\/strong>: Beyond power, ensure adequate fibre connectivity for high speed, low-latency data transmission, as well as access to sustainable water sources.<\/p>\n

7. Leverage digital technology for supply chain visibility<\/strong>: Real-time analytics and dashboards can help identify potential disruptions before they occur.<\/p>\n

8. Prioritise adaptability in design<\/strong>: Modular design and build techniques allow facilities to evolve in response to shifting workloads, emerging technologies and supply chain\u00a0 constraints.<\/p>\n

9. Mapping supply chain for resilience to mitigate risks<\/strong>: Identify risks related to regulations, trade policies and cybersecurity threats. Diversification of the supply
\nchain to avoid over reliance on a limited pool.<\/p>\n

10. Monitor geopolitical risks<\/strong>: Work with experts to explore alternative suppliers and logistical routes to mitigate potential disruptions.<\/p>\n

With demand growing faster than expected, delivering projects on time and within budget requires a strategic, proactive planning approach. Innovation and collaboration \u2013 particularly through early supplier engagement \u2013 will be key to ensure scalable, sustainable infrastructure for the future.<\/p>\n
