Southeast Asia’s Rising Powerhouse
Overview
Southeast Asia’s data centre landscape has evolved rapidly over the past few years. While Singapore initially set the pace with its strong fundamentals—business-friendly policies, political stability, and robust infrastructure—the regional spotlight has gradually broadened. The moratorium in Singapore acted as a catalyst, pushing investors and operators to explore emerging opportunities across neighbouring markets.
What followed was a wave of development—first in Jakarta, followed by Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur—as alternative markets began to establish themselves as viable options for data centre investment. Today, market indicators point to Bangkok as the next market to watch. Momentum is building, and Thailand is emerging as Southeast Asia’s next breakout data centre hub.
