Data Center Growth and Investment in Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia, including countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and others, is witnessing significant growth in data center development. These large facilities house servers and routers that enable essential tasks such as streaming, fast financial transactions, and data processing across regions. The rising demand for data centers is driven by the growth of cloud technologies and AI, necessitating more buildings, land, cooling systems, and electricity to sustain 24/7 operations.

Singapore and Malaysia are the largest data center markets in the region, with the capacity doubling in the last four to five years. The growth is fueled by an attractive business environment, low land costs, and supportive government initiatives. Notably, Google has announced plans to invest around $3 billion in cloud infrastructure in Thailand and Malaysia. Malaysia, in particular, is seeing increased investments in green data centers to reduce carbon footprints.

The Southeast Asia data center market continues to expand due to the rising demand for data storage, cloud computing, 5G, IoT, and AI, creating more opportunities for investment and development.

 

Data Center Growth in Singapore: A Strategic Hub for Southeast Asia

Singapore has emerged as a key player in Southeast Asia’s data center market, benefiting from its advanced telecommunications infrastructure, reliable network connectivity, and strategic location. The growing demand for data centers is driven by the rise of IoT, 5G, AI, and cloud technologies, particularly in sectors like e-commerce, banking, and telecommunications. Major cloud service providers, including Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Huawei Cloud, and Tencent Cloud, have established multiple availability zones in the country.

Singapore’s stable political and economic environment makes it an attractive destination for both multinational companies and startups, further bolstered by government initiatives such as IT Masterplan 2025 and Smart Nation, aimed at enhancing digital infrastructure. The government is also focused on adopting greener methods by 2030.

With over ten submarine cables already in place and more planned, Singapore boasts 40 operational data center facilities and several under development, including those by Singtel, ST Engineering, and Amazon Web Services.

 

Data Center Investors Insights Across Southeast Asia

  • Hyperscale operators, such as Meta (Facebook), Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are leading the market in terms of hyperscale investments and innovative technologies. Even these operators are shifting toward solar power into the data centers with power purchase agreements.
  • Colocation vendors should target global service providers with a strong customer base and help them set up a physical presence. The competition will grow in terms of cost and the high availability of service offerings.
  • The data center operators that will offer renewable energy to power the facilities, as well as account for efficient power and cooling infrastructure, will attract more customers; this will be the major source of revenue generation for operators.
  • Local telecom and colocation operators are likely to face high competition from global operators, in terms of efficiency and advanced innovative technologies.
  • Operators are more likely to be attracted by supportive government initiatives, special economic zones, and the ease of adoption of new technologies by countries.

 

Competitive Landscape in Southeast Asia Data Center Industry

The data center industry in Southeast Asia is experiencing intense competition, particularly in the power infrastructure and cooling solutions sectors. Key players like ABB, Caterpillar, Eaton, Schneider Electric, Cummins, Vertiv, and Siemens dominate the power segment, driving innovation to offer highly efficient and reliable products. Data center operators are shifting from air-based to liquid-based cooling systems and integrating lithium-ion batteries, PDUs, and electric generators to boost operational efficiency.

The adoption of renewable energy sources, such as solar power, is becoming increasingly popular to reduce dependence on traditional grids and lower carbon footprints. In response to the growing demand for energy-efficient cooling, vendors like Delta Electronics, Mitsubishi Electric, and Schneider Electric are playing a larger role in the cooling market. Water-based cooling solutions, including liquid cooling, are being prioritized for better efficiency and sustainability.

Additionally, AI implementation for monitoring cooling systems and security, as well as the growing use of advanced fire detection and suppression systems, is intensifying competition among providers. The rise of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) and Building Management Systems (BMS) is also contributing to competitive dynamics, as these solutions help reduce operational costs and improve overall facility management.
