Description

The Southeast Asia data center colocation market size by investment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.88% from 2024 to 2030.

Singapore is an established market in the Southeast Asia data center colocation market. The countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines witness higher investments and are poised to become developed markets in the years to come. Furthermore, Malaysia at present leads Southeast Asia in terms of installed power capacity in 2024. Malaysia and Indonesia are key contributors to capacity growth in the region. In addition, we can expect increased investment activities in Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam throughout the forecast period.

SOUTHEAST ASIA DATA CENTER COLOCATION MARKET TRENDS

Sustainability & Renewable Energy Focus
  • The Southeast Asia region is prioritizing sustainability in its data center market to address skyrocketing energy and water demand, align with tightening green regulations and net zero goals, and attract eco conscious investments from operators.
  • In June 2025, BDx Indonesia, the country’s largest colocation provider, signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with PT PLN for 30MVA to support its nationwide data center operations. The power will primarily supply its CGK3A campus in South Jakarta and the upcoming 500MW CGK4 AI Campus in Jatiluhur, which aims to run entirely on renewable energy.
  • In June 2025, DayOne signed a 21-year deal with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) to secure up to 500 MW of solar power for its Malaysian operations. The renewable energy, supplied by TNB’s green energy arm, will power DayOne’s data centers in Nusajaya Tech Park and Kempas Tech Park in Johor, which together offer 120MW of capacity.
Adoption of Artificial Intelligence
  • Many leading data center and infrastructure companies in the region, such as Equinix and Digital Realty, are actively collaborating with technology partners and investing in AI development to enhance their service offerings. These efforts include integrating AI models for smarter energy management, predictive maintenance, and optimizing data center operations.
  • Equinix has launched its first AI-ready data center in Jakarta, Indonesia, marking a significant milestone in Indonesia's digital infrastructure. Located in the Central Business District, the data center is designed to support high-performance computing workloads, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications.
  • NDP1, BW Digital’s first data center in Southeast Asia, is set to be the centerpiece of their campus. With a 120MW IT capacity, it’s designed for high-density, scalable, and cost-effective solutions to support enterprise, cloud, and AI workloads starting Q4 2025.
SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS
  • Facilities in the Southeast Asia data center colocation market are shifting to lithium-ion UPS systems for higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and compact design as compared with traditional lead-acid batteries. Several data center companies are adopting innovative UPS batteries across their facilities as a sustainability and efficiency measure.
  • Data centers are increasingly adopting Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) for generators as a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to traditional diesel fuel. Several companies are conducting tests across the data centers to adopt HVO for generators.
  • With a rise in workloads, rack power density, and the AI boom, liquid immersion cooling and direct-to-chip cooling systems are gaining traction in the Southeast Asia data center colocation market as a replacement for traditional air-based cooling systems.

SOUTHEAST ASIA DATA CENTER COLOCATION MARKET’S GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
  • Cumulatively, data center operators in Southeast Asia are expected to add over 6,068 MW of installed power capacity between 2025 and 2030. Malaysia is likely to lead the Southeast Asia data center colocation market by contributing more than 3,087 MW of this capacity, followed by Thailand with over 1,092 MW and Indonesia with over 892 MW of installed power capacity.
  • Singapore at present dominates the data center industry in Southeast Asia. It accounts for approximately 57% of the overall data center revenue generated in the year 2024 in Southeast Asia. The country witnesses billions in investments from several operators.
  • Southeast Asia emerges as a key destination for data centers, with countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand experiencing increased investments. In 2024, the Southeast Asia data center industry contributed around 20% of the total investments in the APAC region.
  • Data center construction costs differ widely across countries, with the Philippines and Singapore among the priciest markets. The average industrial electricity pricing in Singapore as of 2025 ranges between $0.25-$0.3 per kWh, which is comparatively higher than in other developed economies. These high costs are largely due to factors such as scarce land, expensive labor, and strict building regulations. The average industrial pricing in the Philippines as of 2025 ranges between $0.11-$0.15 per kWh, which is comparatively higher than in other Southeast countries such as Thailand and Vietnam.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
