Installed IT power capacity is expected to reach 94.4 gigawatts (GW) by 2028, representing a five-year CAGR of 14.2%. Citing International Data Corporation (IDC) data, Na notes that the region’s rate of expansion “is unmatched in other global regions”.
The Asia-Pacific (Apac) data centre market is forecast to almost triple from US$29.5 billion ($38.1 billion) in 2025 to nearly US$79 billion by 2030, at 22% CAGR, says Patrick Na, market head of financial services for South Asia and Australasia at Dutch professional services firm TMF Group.
The surge is driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, which drive unprecedented demand for hyperscale data infrastructure.
