DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Data Center Market in Southeast Asia – Industry Outlook and Forecast 2021-2026” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Southeast Asia data center market by investment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 8% during the period 2021-2026.

The data center market in Southeast Asia is growing significantly, with multiple investments in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Southeast Asia is among the fastest-growing digital markets worldwide. The internet usage and social media trends have increased the demand for faster internet networks and data centers to store data generated by them. The internet penetration is one of the strongest drivers for the data center market in Southeast Asia.

Moreover, social media usage among consumers and digital transformation by enterprises across industry verticals are other major factors promoting data center growth. The investments are growing significantly across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand.

In 2020, Equinix, Digital Realty, NTT Global Data Centers, Space DC & GIC, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, DTP, and DCI Indonesia were major investors in the Southeast Asia data center market.

Southeast Asia Data Center Market Segmentation

The Southeast Asia Data center market research report includes a detailed segmentation by IT infrastructure, electrical infrastructure, mechanical infrastructure, cooling technique, cooling systems, general construction, tier standards, geography. The server market expects to witness significant growth in the next few years due to increased investments from large cloud service providers in the region.

The adoption of converged and hyper-converged infrastructure solutions is projected to increase the demand for servers with multicore processors. The migration of enterprises from on-premises to colocation facilities is likely to aid in the growth of high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure in the Southeast Asia market.

The data center generator market is likely to grow due to the construction of large and mega facilities across the Southeast Asia region. The adoption of efficient power systems such as gas generators is growing. The implementation of the carbon tax in countries such as Singapore has driven operators to opt for efficient generators.

Although generators are the significant sources of carbon emission, their adoption among facilities continues to grow. However, operators are adopting efficient and cleaner power sources. Innovations in terms of fuel cells are expected to reduce the use of generators during the forecast period.

Most data centers in Singapore design to cool infrastructure through water-based cooling techniques. The use of air-based cooling is low in Singapore than in other Southeast Asian countries. Data centers are designed for hot/cold aisle containment systems and are equipped with 42U and 45U racks.

However, 47U-48U racks expect to witness high growth during the forecast period. In Malaysia, both air-based and water-based cooling systems use for cooling purposes. Large facilities in the country expect to use water-based cooling solutions, whereas small ones are likely to use air-based cooling systems. Similarly, several small data centers in Thailand implement air-based cooling systems.

The majority of data center development in Malaysia is greenfield construction. The market has strong growth potential for modular projects. The labor cost in Malaysia is cheaper than in Singapore. However, the non-availability of a skilled workforce is a significant challenge among service providers operating in the country.

Several facilities in Singapore install DCIM, BMS, and EMS systems for physical security, monitoring, and management. The data center market in Thailand includes greenfield and brownfield data center construction. It requires trained data center professionals to overcome the shortage of skilled workforce in the country. Infrastructure providers and their local partners also serve as a strong backbone for installation and commissioning services.

The Tier III data center market in Southeast Asia expects to reach USD 1.3 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of over 8%. There are over 89 tier III certified facilities in seven countries, including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Indonesia is the major location with around 40 certified facilities. Most new data centers in the region are designed according to Tier III standards with a minimum of N+1 redundancy. The Tier IV data center market is expected to reach over USD 620 million by 2026.

Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Myanmar are witnessing Tier IV facilities’ construction, with Indonesia and Thailand accounting for seven Tier IV facilities. Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, and Google are the major contributors to the Tier IV market.
