Snapshot: data center platforms in Thailand poised to gain from surging demand
Empyrion Digital is strengthening its presence in Bangkok to boost cloud computing capabilities in the face of rising regional competition. Thailand's cloud market is projected to surge from $1.6 billion to $7.3 billion by 2030, with a robust CAGR of 28.9%.
Empyrion Digital is expanding in Bangkok, aiming to enhance cloud computing capabilities amid regional competition. Thailand’s cloud spending may rise from $1.6bn to $7.3bn by 2030, growing at 28.9% CAGR.
Key takeaways
- Empyrion Digital’s expansion in Bangkok and the completion of the TH1 data center will enhance Thailand’s ability to meet growing cloud computing demands.
- Thailand’s data center market is less saturated than peers like Indonesia and Malaysia, presenting a unique investment opportunity.
- With cloud computing spending expected to grow at a 28.9% CAGR through 2030, Thailand’s strategic location and government-backed digital transformation initiatives attract the interest of global tech players.
Empyrion Digital, a digital infrastructure platform operating within multiple Asian markets, is expanding their operations within Bangkok, Thailand.
While Thailand will continue to face stiff competition against regional peers, in attempt to become a digital hub, expansions from data centre operators and telecom operators will remain key to reaching national targets.
Upon completion of its data centre (TH1) in Bang Ha, Bangkok, this will enable the capabilities to meet the cloud computing requirements in the region.
While activity has been plentiful in Bangkok, much of the planned capacity is within Chonburi, where Bangkok’s planned capacity remains subdued, in comparison.
Compared to leading regional peers, Thailand present only one additional sub-market, indicating that the country is less saturated that Indonesia and Malaysia.
However, speed and agility will be primary, as comparable ambitions across Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam aim to establish these markets as regional digital hubs, leveraging the technological overflow from the saturated Singapore market.
From our forecasts, Thailand’s annual cloud computing spending is set to increase from USD1.6bn to USD7.3bn between 2024 and 2030, attributing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.9%.
Compared to Singapore, a leading digital hub in Southeast Asia, both Thailand and the Philippines are starting from a lower base, a key confounding factor to the large, anticipated growth.
With this in mind, Singapore is expected to growth at a CAGR of 14.9% between the same period, signaling a much more developed technological environment.
Thailand’s data center market is poised for significant growth, propelled by a surge in demand from both local and international businesses.
As organizations increasingly rely on data-driven technologies, the need for robust infrastructure has never been greater. The country’s strategic location as a hub for Southeast Asia offers businesses a competitive advantage, leading to heightened interest from tech giants and startups alike.
The spillover effect from neighboring markets, particularly Singapore, has further catalyzed this growth. As companies seek more cost-effective solutions outside of saturated markets, Thailand emerges as an attractive alternative, ripe for investment in data center platforms.
This influx of demand is not only expected to enhance Thailand’s technological prowess but also to stimulate job creation and foster innovation.
Furthermore, with the Thai government actively promoting digital transformation initiatives, the overall ecosystem is becoming increasingly conducive to data center development.
Enhanced regulatory support and infrastructure investment will ensure that Thailand continues to attract both domestic and foreign players in the data center sector, solidifying its position as a leader in the regional digital landscape.
