Philippines Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2026-2031
Description
The Philippines data center market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.50% from 2025 to 2031.
PHILIPPINES DATA CENTER MARKET - KEY HIGHLIGHTS
Philippines has about 28 operational colocation data centers. Most colocation data centers are being developed according to Tier III standards.
Manila remains the primary data center hub in the Philippines, accounting for the largest concentration of operational facilities. The city at present hosts around 20 active data centers and 5+ upcoming data centers in Manila.
The cost of building data centers in the Philippines is relatively competitive, averaging $6.5–$7.5 million per MW, which is lower than in several other Southeast Asian markets such as Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. This cost advantage makes the Philippines an appealing destination for investors looking to maximize value in their regional expansion.
The retail colocation market dominated the Philippines in 2025. During the forecast period, we expect this sector to decline as most of the companies are slated to migrate some of their workloads to the cloud, which is likely to increase the wholesale colocation market.
The segmentation includes:
In the current landscape of colocation investors, several established companies play a significant role. Notable players include ePLDT, Converge ICT Solutions, Digital Edge, Global Telecom and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres among others.
Companies such as A-FLOW, Beeinfotech PH, and Digital Halo are emerging in the country, reflecting a growing demand for data center services and innovative colocation solutions. This dynamic environment is fostering competition and promoting advancements in technology and customer offerings.
In addition, global colocation operators like Equinix are entering the market by acquiring three data center facilities from Total Information Management (TIM) for approximately $180 million.
The cloud market in Philippines is expected to continue experiencing significant growth in the future. Global cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud and Huawei Cloud continue to expand their presence.
For instance, in July 2025, Alibaba Cloud announced it to open its second data center region/ cloud availability zone in the Philippines, enhancing the cloud capacity and support of the country for faster, more secure digital services.
