# [Data Center Growth Isn’t Slowing—It’s Scaling](https://blog.harrisonstpw.com/real-assets/data-center-growth-isnt-slowing-its-scaling)

Demand for data centers has exploded—fueled by cloud computing and the rise of generative AI.

In just the previous two years, the U.S. and European data center markets have absorbed 16,000 MW of power—a 63% increase in total supply. Nearly all new supply is pre-leased to long-term, creditworthy tenants, often before construction even begins.

With $324B in expected hyperscaler CAPEX (capital expenditure) in 2025, this is no longer a niche trend, it’s digital infrastructure at global scale.

We believe data centers present a robust investment opportunity within real assets, driven by durable demand and supported by high-credit tenancy. Contact us to learn more about how we provide RIAs with access to institutional-grade digital infrastructure investments.
