DE-CIX releases Annual Report 2024

DE-CIX’s Annual Report 2024 is out, presenting a year of exceptional growth in network interconnection, data traffic, and infrastructure expansion. The report details a 10% increase in the number of connected networks worldwide, bringing the total to more than 4,000 – the highest in our 30-year history.

170 terabits of customer capacity

The standout figure in the report is a global peak traffic level of nearly 25 Tbps (we crossed this line in April 2025), driven by the increasing demand for peering, direct interconnection between networks. This represents an 11% year-on-year growth, further cementing DE-CIX’s position as a backbone of global Internet performance. Customer capacity on DE-CIX platforms also saw a significant rise to 170 terabits, a 20% increase from 2023.

In 2024, DE-CIX expanded to five new locations and announced our entry to the Brazilian market, bringing our presence to 60 markets across five continents.
