Singapore leads the highly competitive data centre market in Asia


SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BuddeComm has released a series of country reports on data centres and analysts found that Singapore is one of the four major sub-markets for data centres in Asia alongside Hong Kong, Australia and Japan.

The Asia-Pacific region is undergoing very strong data centre growth driven by large-scale international cloud providers including Amazon Web Service, Google, Microsoft and IBM as they expand aggressively in major hubs including Singapore.

Key findings include:

  • Singapore is one of the most mature data centres markets globally and Asia’s leading market ahead of Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan.
  • The market is highly competitive due to a large number of local and international colocation providers
  • High growth in data storage and management related to the digital economy will be a strong driver over the next 10 years. In particular, digital media companies emerging from industries such as e-commerce, content, gaming and software applications especially from large emerging markets such as China and India
  • During late 2019 and 2020 a significant amount of new capacity is expected to enter the Singapore market. New capacity is especially coming from the international data centre specialist providers including Equinix and Digital Realty.
  • This growth will begin to slow as the Singapore data centre market faces mounting challenges including from cheaper markets Malaysia and Indonesia.
  • Data centre construction is now being led by the large global multimedia companies.
