Overview of Report Findings

Market Dynamics and Insights: The rapid expansion of digital public infrastructure—comprising data centers, AI hubs, cloud platforms, and advanced connectivity networks—is fundamentally reshaping the global digital landscape. The surging demand for data processing, AI computing, and cloud-native operations is driving this transformation.
On May 15, 2025, Blue Owl Capital Inc. announced the final close of its latest investment vehicle, the Blue Owl Digital Infrastructure Fund III (ODI III), with US$7 billion in capital commitments, surpassing its original US$4 billion target. ODI III aims to develop and acquire data centers and digital real assets purpose-built to support the world's leading cloud and technology companies.
The fund's focus on large-scale, build-to-suit infrastructure reflects the escalating requirements of AI and cloud technologies—sectors that generate vast volumes of sensitive and mission-critical data. Similarly, Brookfield Asset Management (BAM), a global leader in infrastructure investment, unveiled a US$10 billion AI infrastructure initiative in Sweden on June 4, 2025, with plans to build a state-of-the-art data center in Strängnäs. This facility, set to scale from 300MW to 750MW, will serve as Europe's key AI processing node.
Brookfield's broader commitment—over €100 billion (US$117.76 billion) in digital infrastructure, renewable power, and semiconductor assets—underscores a global shift toward high-performance, hyper-connected environments. As countries and corporations race to establish digital and AI leadership, expanding public digital infrastructure drives innovation and creates new layers of operational complexity and cyber risk. With billions of dollars invested in public digital infrastructure, ensuring these assets' integrity, availability, and security becomes mission-critical. Digital forensics plays an increasingly strategic role in post—incident analysis and supporting compliance, resilience, and governance frameworks across these complex digital environments. Forensic technology is poised to become a foundational layer of infrastructure protection as the backbone of modern economies becomes ever more digital.
Regional Insights: In April 2024 alone, Europe witnessed a significant escalation in cyber incidents, with over 24.5 million data records breached across a range of sectors, including healthcare, finance, government, and critical infrastructure. This alarming figure underscores the persistent vulnerability of European organizations to data breaches, phishing campaigns, ransomware attacks, and insider threats.
The increasing digitalization of services, the rise of remote work environments, and the growing interconnectedness of supply chains have broadened the attack surface, making it easier for threat actors to exploit security weaknesses. Additionally, the evolving threat landscape complicates matters, as cybercriminals are using AI, zero-day exploits, and highly targeted social engineering tactics to compromise sensitive data. As regulators continue to enforce stricter data protection laws under frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), organizations are under mounting pressure to prevent breaches and investigate and respond to them swiftly and forensically. This surge in cyber incidents is directly fueling the growth of the digital forensics market across Europe. Organizations increasingly recognize the need for comprehensive incident response capabilities, including conducting thorough forensic investigations that can trace the source of breaches, preserve evidence for legal proceedings, and ensure compliance with regulatory reporting timelines.
Governments and enterprises alike are investing in advanced forensic tools, skilled personnel, and integrated platforms capable of handling complex digital evidence across multiple devices and networks. Moreover, the expanding cyber insurance market and legal liabilities tied to data breaches are prompting businesses to embed forensic readiness into their cybersecurity strategies. As a result, the digital forensics sector in Europe is experiencing robust growth, driven by demand for expertise in malware analysis, endpoint forensics, and cloud investigation techniques, positioning it as a critical pillar in the continent's broader efforts to build cyber resilience and safeguard digital trust.
Geographical Insights: North America is expected to dominate the digital forensics market with the highest market share in 2024.
