Explosive Growth in Thailand’s Data Center Market
Being strategically placed in the heart of ASEAN – poised to become the world’s fourth-largest economy, Thailand is your prime destination for data center and cloud services. By 2024, the Data Center Market Sector in ASEAN is projected to be worth up to USD 5.4 billion.
Thailand’s data center market is set to skyrocket, with a projected CAGR of 9.79% from 2022 to 2028. This surge is driven by enhanced connectivity, cloud adoption, and the rise of Big Data & IoT technologies. Global heavyweights like OneAsia Network, Telehouse, Bridge Data Centers, and Chindata Group, alongside tech giants Amazon Web Services and Google, are funneling significant investments into Thailand. AIS, Singtel, and Gulf Energy are teaming up to construct data centers nationwide, slated for completion by 2023.
Emerging Trends in Data Center Services
Cloud-based services are fuelling the demand for retail and wholesale colocation services. Retail colocation appeals to small-scale firms, while local governments, travel and tourism, the BFSI sector, and hospitals opt for wholesale colocation. Hyperscale solutions are preferred by content providers, cloud operators, leading e-commerce firms, public sector agencies, and banks. As 5G networks roll out, they will catalyze the digital economy, driving high-bandwidth networking infrastructure demand.
Why Choose Thailand for Data Centers and Cloud Services?
The Thai Government’s commitment to the digital economy, with the aim of becoming “ASEAN’s Digital Hub,” is underscored by the country’s impressive internet infrastructure, featuring international internet gateways, internet exchange points, and a multitude of Internet Service Providers. Thailand’s strong connectivity, coupled with its submarine cable network and 5G adoption, is set to propel it from an emerging Cloud & Data Center Market to a pivotal player in Asia.
As Thailand positions itself to amplify its digital economy, aiming to reach a valuation of 2 trillion USD by 2025 and secure the status of the second-largest market in Southeast Asia by 2030, this topic explores the multifaceted appeal of Thailand as a premier destination for digital infrastructure investment. It delves into the critical factors contributing to Thailand’s burgeoning digital economy, including the pursuit of ambitious economic targets, the availability of resources, and the enactment of supportive government policies designed to enhance competitiveness and attract foreign investment.
An element of uncertainty is now shadowing the outlook for a number of key Asia Pacific economies. While the International Monetary Fund states that Asia will remain the driver of global growth, it charts a decline from 4.6% growth in 2023 to 4.2% in 2024 and 3.9% in the medium term following. How will the prospect of lower economic growth impact demand for data centres? And what might be the consequences for companies designing, building, operating and owning them?
Traditionally, data centers have survived well and even prospered through economic downturn (for example, through the GFC of 2007 to 2009, and more recently through the economic impacts of the pandemic) as growing global digitalization has driven the sector forward. What is the opinion of leading industry analysts on the strength of the drivers of digital infrastructure growth and on the next few years for data centers? This session brings together a number of the region’s leading data center analysts to look at these key questions across APAC and with a focus on Thailand.
