Enterprise and colo spending strategies for 2026 vary

Operators in both enterprise and colocation segments anticipate larger budgets in 2026. While capacity expansion remains the primary driver of overall planned spending, investment priorities for supporting growth differ between the two groups. Year-on-year shifts also indicate that cost pressures may be easing in some areas, giving operators room to adapt their financial strategies.

Results from the Uptime Institute Data Center Spending and Supply Chain Survey 2025 highlight the distinct spending priorities now emerging between enterprise operators and colocation providers.
