DE-CIX releases Annual Report 2024

Data being annual report

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.

Expansion to Southern America

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. With Internet Exchanges in strategic locations such as Frankfurt, New York, Madrid, Mumbai, and Dubai, we are supporting both wholesale providers and enterprise customers, including Fortune 500 companies, worldwide.
