The Asia Pacific region is on track to overtake the United States as the largest colocation data center market by both capacity and rental revenue before 2030, according to analysis from Cushman & Wakefield.
The Asia Pacific Data Center Investment Landscape report, which explores key metrics driving investment activity in the sector, showed that by 2030 the region is likely to have around 23,904 megawatts of capacity, compared to around 18,256 megawatts in the United States.
“Various forecast models show that Asia Pacific will overtake the United States as the largest colocation market in either 2028 or 2029. Based on the population differential, this is expected — but still significant given the depth and maturity of the U.S. market,” said Pritesh Swamy, head of insights and analysis for Cushman & Wakefield’s Asia Pacific Data Center Group.
