Full analysis

The Israel Data Center Market is valued at USD 3.18 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 12.87 billion by 2035, up from USD 1.93 billion in 2025, a CAGR of 20.90% from 2025 to 2035 (DC Market Insights estimate). The market covers the capital spend on Israeli data centers: the IT infrastructure installed in them (servers, accelerators, storage and networking), power solutions, cooling systems and general construction. The 2025 build receipt is 45 megawatts (MW) of new IT capacity × USD 11.00 million of facility content per MW = USD 495.00 million, plus 20.25 MW of new artificial intelligence (AI) capacity × USD 35.00 million of IT fit-out per MW = USD 708.75 million, plus USD 724.08 million of IT refresh and replacement on 280 MW of installed capacity. Colocation and Wholesale is the fastest-growing segment at 25.43% a year as Nebius, Crusoe and Serverfarm lease AI halls from Israeli developers, and the Southern District is the fastest-growing region at 32.12% a year because the 130 MW Ofek campus in Ashdod and the Masmiyya site move capacity away from the Tel Aviv core.

Key Market Statistics: How Big Is the Israel Data Center Market in 2026?

DC Market Insights values the Israel Data Center Market at USD 3.18 billion in 2026, 65.1% above the USD 1.93 billion of 2025, as new IT capacity rises from 45 MW to 70 MW and AI halls take 60% of it.

DC Market Insights estimates that new Israeli IT capacity rises from 45 MW in 2025 to 210 MW in 2030 before the grid limit pulls it back to 140 MW a year, lifting the market to USD 11.12 billion in 2030. The 1,500 MW of new capacity the model adds from 2026 to 2035 equals the 1,500 MW of data center connections the power system has already committed (Source: Globes). Israel is a 0.34% slice of the Data Center Market in 2025, and the facility layer alone is sized in the Israel Data Center Infrastructure Market report.

Key takeaways:

  • USD 1.93 billion in 2025, USD 3.18 billion in 2026 and USD 12.87 billion by 2035, a 20.90% CAGR.
  • IT Infrastructure is the largest component at 74.32% (USD 1.43 billion) because AI servers cost about three times the building around them.
  • Central District leads with 60.00%; the Southern District grows fastest at 32.12%.
  • An Israeli data center costs about USD 11.00 million per MW to build in 2025 before servers, and an AI hall needs another USD 35.00 million per MW of IT.
  • The July 2026 grid freeze caps the market: new capacity peaks at 210 MW in 2030 in the base case.

What Is the Israel Data Center Market, and What Does It Cover?

The Israel Data Center Market is the annual capital spend on data centers located in Israel, USD 1.93 billion in 2025, across 280 MW of installed IT capacity (DC Market Insights estimate). It runs from 12 MW hyperscale halls in the Tel Aviv area to the 64 MW NVIDIA Corporation (NVIDIA) campus near Yokneam, which Calcalist values at about NIS 4.84 billion (USD 1.5 billion) including equipment (Source: Calcalist (CTech)).

Included: servers, graphics processing unit (GPU) systems, storage and data center networking (IT Infrastructure); medium-voltage switchgear, transformers, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), generators and power distribution (Power Solutions); chillers, computer room air handlers and liquid cooling (Cooling Systems); and the shell, core and fit-out (General Construction), for cloud, colocation, enterprise and government sites. Excluded: land, electricity bills, power plants built to serve data centers, software licences and cloud or colocation service revenue.

How the segments fit together: each of the four dimensions (component, workload, data center type and end user) splits the same USD 1.93 billion total in 2025 and the same USD 12.87 billion in 2035, and the five Israeli districts and the 12 hubs sum to the same totals.

Why Do Israel Data Center Market Estimates Differ?

Israel Data Center Market estimates differ because publishers count different layers: DC Market Insights puts the market at USD 3.18 billion in 2026 including IT equipment, while the facility layer alone is USD 805.00 million in 2026.

Broader definitions add colocation and cloud service revenue, power purchase costs or land; narrower ones count only the building and its mechanical and electrical plant. Colocation revenue, data center services, managed hosting, edge micro data centers inside telecom exchanges and the electricity bill are out of scope here, as are power plants such as the 840 MW Hagit station that will feed the NVIDIA campus (Source: Calcalist (CTech)). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), banks, defence buyers and research institutes are in scope when they buy equipment for their own server rooms or for colocation cages.

Element In this report Why
IT Infrastructure (servers, GPUs, storage, network) Yes, USD 1.43 billion in 2025 Largest capital item in an AI hall
Power, cooling and construction Yes, USD 495.00 million in 2025 Facility layer
Colocation and cloud service revenue No Recurring revenue, not capital spend
Electricity and power plants No Operating cost and utility capex
Land No Not a data center product

Facility-only spend in 2025 was USD 495.00 million, which matches the Israel Data Center Infrastructure Market definition more closely than this report’s total.

What Drives Israel Data Center Demand After the Grid Freeze?

Three drivers lift Israeli data center spend from USD 1.93 billion in 2025 to USD 11.12 billion in 2030: AI campuses, hyperscale cloud regions and sovereign compute, together behind 210 MW of new capacity in 2030.

AI Campuses Add 150 MW of Leases in 2026

Crusoe’s leasing in Israel reached 150 MW in June 2026 under a reported USD 10 billion plan over 10-15 years (Source: DatacenterDynamics). Nebius signed 80 MW with Mega Or in January 2026, 22 MW in Masmiyya and 58 MW in Beit Shemesh, costing about USD 880 million to build (Source: DatacenterDynamics). DC Market Insights models 60% of 2026’s 70 MW of new capacity as AI halls, worth USD 1.45 billion of new AI IT spend.

Three Hyperscale Regions Anchor Cloud Demand

Google Cloud opened its Tel Aviv region on 19 October 2022 (Source: Google Cloud), AWS opened the Israel (Tel Aviv) Region on 1 August 2023 (Source: AWS), and Microsoft launched Israel Central in October 2023 (Source: DatacenterDynamics). AWS plans to invest up to ILS 26.6 billion in Israel from 2023 to 2037 (Source: AWS), about USD 479 million a year at ILS 3.70 per dollar, or 24.9% of the 2025 market.

Sovereign AI Compute Targets 100,000 Processors

The government approved a National AI Plan on 16 June 2026 with a target of 100,000 processing units (Source: TPS). Its first step, the NIS 500 million national supercomputer awarded to Nebius in May 2025 (Source: Globes), went live in January 2026 with 1,000 NVIDIA B200 GPUs in about 8 MW (Source: DatacenterDynamics). Government and Defence buyers account for USD 289.17 million of 2025 spend.

AI halls take 59.34% of Israeli data center spend in 2025 and 81.15% by 2035, and capacity moves north and south from the Tel Aviv core.

AI Workloads Grow from USD 1.14 billion to USD 10.44 billion

AI workloads grow at 24.75% a year against 11.96% for conventional workloads. NVIDIA plans a 160,000 square metre campus in Kiryat Tivon (Source: Globes) next to its Yokneam data center.

Developers Build for AI Tenants Before They Sign

Mega Or plans up to 220 MW in Beit Shemesh, with a 20 MW first phase costing USD 200 million (Source: Globes). Colocation and Wholesale rises from 36.00% of spend in 2025 to 52.00% in 2035.

Israeli Capital Backs Data Centers at Home and Abroad

Azrieli Group’s data center net operating income (NOI) reached NIS 449 million in 2025, up 95% (Source: Globes), and Israeli institutions invested about USD 1.03 billion in EdgeConneX in July 2026 (Source: Globes).

What Challenges Hold Back the Israel Data Center Market?

Grid capacity is the binding constraint: pending data center requests total about 27,000 MW against average national demand of about 9,000 MW (Source: Calcalist (CTech)).

A 140-Day Freeze on New Grid Connections

In July 2026 the Electricity Authority ordered Noga, the system operator, to stop processing new data center connections of 8 MW or more for 140 days, until early December 2026 (Source: DatacenterDynamics). The Authority said existing commitments would exhaust planned production capacity through 2035 (Source: Calcalist (CTech)). DC Market Insights therefore holds new capacity to 1,500 MW over 2026-2035, and the low case cuts it by 30% to USD 9.39 billion in 2035.

Power Costs Rise and Requests Outrun Supply

Noga lists 100 separate connection requests, the largest 1,111 MW on the former Alliance site in Hadera (Source: Ynet). The consumer electricity tariff rose 3.5% in January 2025 (Source: Globes) and about 1.5% in January 2026 (Source: The Times of Israel), adding to running costs for 280 MW of installed load.

Where Are the New Revenue Opportunities in Israeli Data Centers?

The largest opportunity is AI IT refresh, which grows from USD 212.45 million in 2025 to USD 5.90 billion in 2035 as installed AI capacity rises from 50.6 MW to 1,084.8 MW.

AI Refresh Reaches USD 5.90 billion

DC Market Insights assumes 20% of installed AI IT is replaced every year, so by 2035 refresh spend exceeds new-build AI IT spend of USD 3.02 billion; server, storage and network vendors with Israeli service teams gain most.

The Southern District Adds USD 2.05 billion

The Ofek data center in Ashdod, built by Serverfarm and the Israel Infrastructure Fund for Dalia Energy, starts at 130 MW, grows to 200 MW and costs about USD 1.5 billion (Source: Globes). Southern District spend rises from USD 134.95 million in 2025 to USD 2.19 billion in 2035, a gain of USD 2.05 billion for contractors, switchgear and cooling suppliers.

How Much Does a Data Center Cost per MW in Israel?

An Israeli data center costs about USD 11.00 million per MW of IT capacity to build in 2025 before servers, rising to USD 15.01 million by 2035; an AI hall adds about USD 35.00 million per MW of IT equipment.

Price point 2020 2025 2030 2035
Facility cost per MW (USD million) 8.00 11.00 12.94 15.01
AI IT fit-out per new AI MW (USD million) 20.00 35.00 32.50 30.00
Conventional IT spend per installed MW a year (USD million) 2.20 2.50 2.65 2.80

Public anchors: Mega Or puts construction at USD 12 million per MW of IT capacity (Source: DatacenterDynamics); Ofek’s USD 1.5 billion for 130 MW is about USD 11.54 million per MW (Source: Globes); Nebius’s 80 MW at about USD 880 million is USD 11.00 million per MW (Source: DatacenterDynamics); and Mega Or’s 20 MW Beit Shemesh phase at USD 200 million is USD 10.00 million per MW (Source: Globes). On the rental side, Crusoe’s 40 MW Afula lease could be worth USD 3 billion over a decade (Source: Globes), about USD 7.5 million per MW a year.

Which Rules and Standards Shape Israel Data Center Investment?

Four rules shape where USD 3.18 billion of 2026 spend lands: the grid connection freeze, privacy law, data residency in government cloud and the National AI Plan.

  • Electricity Authority connection freeze (July 2026): new requests of 8 MW or more are on hold for 140 days (Source: DatacenterDynamics).
  • Privacy Protection Law, Amendment 13: in force since 14 August 2025, with stronger enforcement powers for the Privacy Protection Authority (Source: Library of Congress).
  • Project Nimbus: the NIS 4 billion (USD 1.2 billion) government cloud tender won by Google and AWS in April 2021 requires local hosting (Source: The Times of Israel).
  • National AI Plan (June 2026): a 100,000 processing unit target for sovereign compute (Source: TPS).
  • Design standards: operators build to the Uptime Institute Tier classification, ANSI/TIA-942 and ISO/IEC 22237 for facilities, and ISO/IEC 27001 for information security.

Which Segment Leads the Israel Data Center Market, and What Is the Fastest Growing Segment?

How Could the 2035 Israel Data Center Forecast Change? Three Scenarios

The 2035 Israel Data Center Market ranges from USD 9.39 billion to USD 15.76 billion around a base case of USD 12.87 billion, depending on how much grid capacity reaches data centers after the freeze.

Scenario 2035 (USD million) CAGR 2025-2035 Assumption
Low 9,388.75 17.15% New capacity from 2027 is 30% below base (freeze extended, 1,071 MW over 2026-2035)
Base 12,865.50 20.90% 1,500 MW of new capacity 2026-2035, equal to committed connections
High 15,762.80 23.38% New capacity from 2027 is 25% above base as new generation is added

All three scenarios keep 2025 and 2026 unchanged, because projects under construction in 2026 already hold grid connections.

Who Are the Leading Israel Data Center Companies, and What Is Their Market Share?

Amazon Web Services leads the Israel Data Center Market with about 25% of 2025 spend, based on its ILS 26.6 billion 2023-2037 plan averaged per year; DC Market Insights estimates the top three cloud providers (AWS, Google and Microsoft) held about 45% of 2025 spend.

How Did DC Market Insights Build the Israel Data Center Market Model? (Methodology)

The model multiplies 45 MW by USD 11.00 million per MW for 2025, adds 20.25 MW × USD 35.00 million of AI IT, and adds USD 724.08 million of installed-base IT spend. New Israeli IT capacity (20 MW in 2020, 45 MW in 2025, 210 MW in 2030, 140 MW in 2035; 280 MW installed at the end of 2025) × facility cost per MW gives facility spend; new AI MW (AI share 5% in 2020, 45% in 2025, 72% in 2035) × AI IT per MW gives new AI IT spend; 20% a year of the installed AI base is refreshed; and the installed conventional base × USD 2.50 million per MW a year gives conventional IT spend. Unit values match the Data Center Market model, so Israel is a consistent slice of the global total. District and hub splits are set for 2025 and 2035 and sum to the total.

Three bound checks:

  • Ceiling 1: the model’s 1,500 MW of new capacity over 2026-2035 equals the 1,500 MW of connections committed to data centers (Source: Globes), which the Electricity Authority says exhausts planned production capacity through 2035.
  • Ceiling 2: the same 1,500 MW is 5.6% of the roughly 27,000 MW of pending requests (Source: Calcalist (CTech)).
  • Floor: the tracker’s announced facility budgets of about USD 5.1 billion sit below the model’s USD 9.04 billion of facility spend over 2026-2030.
