Asia – A global data centre Hub
Data centres have become a central character in Asia’s digital transformation story in 2025. The region’s data centres have been experiencing a surge in demand for capacity and computing power, catalysed by enterprises' adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. According to the Asia Pacific Data Center Market Report, the data centre industry is expected to be worth US$71.67 billion by 2032.
Data centres are critical for businesses to address new infrastructure challenges that are emerging as AI continues to evolve in 2025. New large language models are entering the market, democratising access to AI and potentially creating even stronger demand. Asia’s regulatory landscape is likely to evolve as nations prioritize data sovereignty and security. Sustainability targets mean that there is a need to maximise the energy efficiency of the infrastructure that powers AI. Businesses must also rethink the location and anatomy of their IT infrastructure to meet requirements that will continue to transform in the coming years.
