Data Center Market in Southeast Asia: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increase in application of IoT is notably driving the data center market growth in Southeast Asia, although factors such as the shortage of land in Singapore may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the data center industry in Southeast Asia. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Data Center Market Driver in Southeast Asia
One of the key factors driving market growth in the data center market in Southeast Asia is the proximity to connectivity gateways and the presence of strong submarine cable networks. Internet landing stations, which are also sometimes called connectivity gateways, are locations where submarine cables connect to the network infrastructure of a particular region. Such stations are strategically located in areas where marine traffic is minimal to reduce the risk of damage to cables by objects such as the anchors of ships. Many colocation service providers and cloud service providers (CSPs) are strategically choosing the locations of their data centers near Internet landing stations, which will enable them to reduce connectivity costs and overall latency. The presence of Internet landing stations is one of the key growth drivers for data centers in any particular region. The presence of a good subsea cable network has been one of the important factors that drive investments in data centers in Singapore. These factors have contributed to the growth of data centers in Singapore.
Key Data Center Market Trend in Southeast Asia
The shift toward large data center facilities is a data center market trend in Southeast Asia that is expected to have a positive impact during the forecast period. In South-East Asia, there is a visible shift toward large multi-storied data center facilities. Land shortage and the high cost of land acquisition are some of the factors that are prompting service providers to build high-capacity multi-story data center facilities. Data centers with 59 megawatts (MW) of information technology (IT) power were considered large in 2019. Colocation service providers and CSPs are looking to build larger data center facilities with higher gross floor areas than that available today. Some service providers are also looking to build multi-storied 150 MW data center facilities in the region. Large data center facilities will have a higher number of storage and computer resources and can serve more clients than small data center facilities. The maintenance of such large data centers is also a simpler task for service providers than the management of multiple small data centers. Such large data centers can also help service providers to remain competitive in terms of pricing.
Key Data Center Market Challenge in Southeast Asia
The shortage of land in Singapore will be a major challenge for the data center market growth in Southeast Asia during the forecast period. Singapore has emerged as a preferred destination for data center operators due to its network infrastructure and the presence of Internet landing stations, favorable government policies, and a conducive business environment. However, data center operators are exposed to zoning restrictions and a shortage of land. The total area of Singapore is approximately 446 square miles, and the country is significantly smaller than some of its neighbors in South-East Asia. Other industries in the country also require land. Hence, the availability of land for data centers is limited. These factors, the presence of zoning restrictions, and the need to obtain consent from JTC Corp. complicate issues related to the shortage of land. Multi-story data centers helped combat the shortage of land and enabled service providers to serve more customers. The advent of such data centers also simplified the overall maintenance requirements. Many service providers in Singapore are focusing on building large data centers to combat the shortage of land.
