Singapore – A recent report from Credence Research revealed that Singapore’s data centre market is projected to increase from US$1.3b in 2023 to US$3b by 2032, noting a 9.53% compound annual growth rate.
It was further reported that a major contributor to these figures is the growing demand for cloud services given the business shift to cloud-based solutions for enhanced efficiency and scalability.
In fact, many companies in Southeast Asia are already addressing their digital needs through the adoption of cloud solutions. Government frameworks such as the Data Centre Development Blueprint from the Infocomm Media Development Authority are also driving this transition.
The report further noted advancements in technology like the introduction of 5G networks and the continued rise of e-commerce as crucial drivers of this growth.
More specifically, the firm found that the increasing prevalence of Internet of Things devices, AI, and smart technologies is driving the need for more scalable and efficient data infrastructure.
Meanwhile, sustainability has become a central concern in the Singapore data centre market.
In particular, the government’s push for environmentally friendly operations has led operators to invest in energy-efficient solutions like liquid cooling and renewable energy sources.
