New York, Nov. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Data Center Colocation Market in APAC - Industry Outlook and Forecast 2020-2025" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p05587797/?utm_source=GNW


The APAC data center colocation market is witnessing growth due to the increased physical presence of hyperscale service operators in the region. The market is expected to observe an increase in the deployment of edge data centers post 2022 due to the growth in the use of connected devices among businesses and consumers.

Telecommunication operators in China are expected to lead the way with the construction of edge data centers. Major data center providers, including hyperscale providers, are likely to invest in edge data center infrastructure during the forecast period. The colocation demand is also aiding in the growth of services such as cloud connectivity, interconnection, and hybrid infrastructure services. Adopting cloud connectivity solutions will grow at a CAGR of 40% in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, China, India, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, and Hong Kong.

The following factors are likely to contribute to the growth of the APAC data center colocation market during the forecast period:
• Increasing Procurement of Renewable Energy among Colocation Providers
• M&A Activities to Improve Colocation Market Share
• Increased Adoption of Lithium-ion Batteries
• Increasing Hyperscale Deployments by Colocation Providers

The study considers the present scenario of the APAC data center colocation market and its market dynamics for the period 2019?2025. It covers a detailed overview of several market growth enablers, restraints, and trends. The report offers both the demand and supply aspect of the market. It profiles and examines leading companies and other prominent ones operating in the market.

APAC Data Center Colocation Market Segmentation
The APAC data center colocation market research report includes a detailed segmentation by electrical infrastructure, mechanical infrastructure, general construction, service and geography. Several data center facilities in APAC with power capacities of more than 10 MW are expected to adopt over 500 kVA capacity UPS systems. However, the service providers are also investing in DRUPS systems with capacities of around 1,500 kVA to power their facilities. Colocation providers in Southeast Asian countries are the major revenue contributors to the power infrastructure market. Modular facilities deployed in the region will procure single-phase lithium-ion UPS systems. Also, large facilities will procure lithium-ion UPS to avoid high OPEX through the maintenance of VRLA systems. Mega data center projects in China & Hong Kong are increasingly deploying 2N redundant UPS systems. Since most vendors offer lithium-ion-based UPS systems, the APAC data center colocation market is expected to become highly competitive during the forecast period.

In China and Hong Kong, most data centers adopt a combination of air and water-based cooling techniques for cooling purposes. A few facilities are built to support free cooling techniques. The adoption of CRAC units and chillers will continue to grow in China and Hong Kong. The facilities located in Australia majorly adopt free cooling solutions. The trend of using free cooling solutions is likely to continue during the forecast period. In New Zealand, the use of free cooling/air cooling solutions is expected to grow because climatic conditions are beneficial for the data center cooling market, leading to the adoption of free cooling solutions in the country.

China is witnessing growth in greenfield data centers construction. In Hong Kong, on the other hand, there will be more brownfield developments due to the shortage of land during the forecast period. In terms of physical security, most facilities use four-layered physical security with on-site security personnel. The need for DCIM software to monitor facilities will continue to grow among existing facilities, and new data centers are likely to be part of the investment. The market in Japan witnessed an increase in general construction and is likely to continue on account of increased demand for data services. The cost of developing data centers, especially in Japan, is high along with the procurement cost of land. The Indonesian market is expected to witness a rise in the construction of greenfield projects with a power capacity of over 5 MW. The cost of construction averages around $4 million. However, it will differ based on the installation of infrastructure and the corresponding redundancy. The increasing construction of new facilities will provide several opportunities for local contractors to gain expertise in building data centers.

Retail colocation services in APAC are likely to grow as several developing countries are shifting from traditional server room infrastructure to data centers. However, the adoption of in-house prefabricated data center solutions by enterprises and government agencies in the region is likely to pose a challenge to the retail colocation market. These solutions provide more control over operations at reduced CAPEX. However, the lack of fundamental prerequisites such as high-speed fiber connectivity and disaster recovery locations to operate in-house prefabricated facilities will drive enterprises to consider managed retail colocation as the best alternative, thereby leading to steady growth of the retail colocation market during the forecast period.

INSIGHTS BY GEOGRAPHY
In the APAC region, China & Hong Kong are the prominent markets for data center operations. China & Hong Kong will exceed supply due to the increasing demand for cloud-based services, big data analytics, and IoT. China is the world’s largest IoT market, with 64% of 1.5 billion global cellular connections. The government has set a goal of enabling more than 1.7 billion public machine-to-machine connections by 2020; with this, the IoT market in China is likely to reach revenue of $200 billion by 2020. This will boost the construction of mega and large colocation facilities and prompt regional cloud service providers to establish multiple availability zones across the country as the demand for hybrid infrastructure services increases. Besides, there is a high demand for cryptocurrency data centers in China, boosting the development of high-performance computing infrastructure. The mega data center projects in China & Hong Kong are designed to be of Tier III and Tier IV standards, with the increased deployment of 2N redundant UPS systems.
