Description

Enterprise demand for data center colocation services is rapidly growing. While growth varies across countries, enterprises recognize the benefits of outsourcing infrastructure to third parties and working with service providers. The expansion of 5G networks in Latin America will drive the construction of edge data centers, enabling faster, more stable data transfers. Submarine cable deployment is also occurring throughout the region to improve connectivity.

Continuous digital transformation and the adoption of technologies such as Big Data, IoT, and AI/ML are driving enormous investments from local and global colocation operators. AI data centers require massive and consistent power, but many regions face grid capacity constraints, high costs, grid instability, or stringent sustainability regulations. Latin America’s abundant renewable energy and integrated grid system can support large-scale AI workloads for hyperscalers and environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-conscious enterprises. AI workloads and digital services in Latin America and other regions often rely on servers hosted in the United States or Europe, resulting in latency, increased bandwidth costs, and compliance hurdles.

Strategically located data centers help reduce latency for AI applications, a crucial factor in performance that directly impacts efficiency and user experience. Local data centers also ensure compliance with Latin American data protection regulations and sectoral data localization rules, such as those in healthcare, finance, and government. Scaling AI clusters requires a combination of high-density colocation, advanced cooling, and a skilled workforce. Many emerging markets struggle with one or more of these factors. Latin America, particularly Brazil, has a maturing data center construction ecosystem, experienced data center colocation providers, and a growing workforce with expertise in hyperscale and regional AI deployments. However, the scale of new AI cities poses several challenges, as data center sites are hyperdense and 10 times larger than current ones. This Frost & Sullivan study analyzes the Latin American data center colocation services market, covering strategic imperatives, market insights, competitive landscape, industry background, market trends, country-wise market dynamics, company analysis, and growth opportunities.
