APAC data centers: Track at the facility level, covering operational sites, physical infrastructure, upcoming projects, investment pipelines, capacity additions, operators, locations, and colocation pricing across 16 key countries and markets.

APAC DATA CENTERS

Asia-Pacific is a diverse data center market, bringing together established hubs such as Australia, Japan, India, and South Korea with rapidly expanding markets across Southeast Asia.

The APAC Data Center Portfolio profiles 1,473 facilities, including 946 existing and 527 upcoming data centers, across 16 countries and markets. It covers facility capacity, infrastructure characteristics, operators, investment, development status, geographic distribution, and colocation pricing.

The database helps users compare mature data center markets with emerging locations where new infrastructure is being planned and developed.

DATA CENTER FACILITIES IN APAC

The APAC Data Center Portfolio goes beyond a basic list of facilities by tracking the physical, technical, commercial, and development characteristics of individual data centers.

For existing facilities, the database captures location, address, operator/owner, facility name, white-floor area, IT load capacity, rack capacity, year of operation, Tier standard, and power/cooling redundancy.

For upcoming projects, it tracks investor, location, planned area, IT load, total investment, infrastructure investment split, announcement year, project status, and expected opening year.

This facility-level structure supports comparisons across markets, operators, individual assets, and development pipelines. The existing-facility database excludes data center facilities in China.

APAC DATA CENTERS - PROJECTS DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

APAC’s development pipeline reflects both continued expansion in established markets and the emergence of new data center locations.

India, Australia, Malaysia, and South Korea collectively account for more than 70% of upcoming power capacity, according to Arizton’s portfolio overview. Meanwhile, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand are among the markets attracting significant new development activity.

The portfolio tracks upcoming projects at the facility level, linking planned capacity with location, investor, investment estimates, project status, and expected opening timelines. This helps users distinguish between individual projects and assess the development pipeline market by market.

GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE ACROSS APAC

The portfolio covers 16 countries and markets:

Australia | Bangladesh | Hong Kong | India | Indonesia | Japan | Malaysia | Nepal | New Zealand | Pakistan | Philippines | Singapore | South Korea | Taiwan | Thailand | Vietnam

This geographic coverage supports analysis of:

1. Established data center clusters
2. Emerging development locations
3. Operator expansion patterns
4. Regional capacity distribution
5. New project activity
6. Country-level investment opportunities
7. Differences between operational markets and upcoming development pipelines

*The existing facility database does not include China data center facilities.

DATA CENTER CAPACITY & INFRASTRUCTURE

Counting data centers alone does not explain the scale of a market. The database therefore captures three important facility-level capacity indicators:

1. White-Floor Area: Understand the physical IT space available or planned at each facility.
2. IT Load Capacity: Compare current and planned IT power capacity in MW.
3. Rack Capacity: Assess the number of racks supported by individual facilities where available.

Together, these metrics provide a more useful view of data center scale and capacity distribution across APAC. The current portfolio specifically highlights white-floor area, IT load, and rack capacity as core database attributes. Compare current and planned IT power capacity in MW.

INFRASTRUCTURE & RESILIENCY DETAILS

For existing facilities, the database captures Tier standards and power/cooling redundancy, helping users understand differences in facility design and resiliency.

Coverage includes:

1. Tier I–IV classification
2. Electrical redundancy
3. Mechanical/cooling redundancy
4. IT load capacity
5. Rack capacity
6. White-floor area
7. Year of operation

APAC DATA CENTER COLOCATION PRICING

The portfolio includes colocation pricing alongside facility and infrastructure information, supporting comparisons across covered markets.

PRICING COVERAGE

1. Quarter rack / 1⁄4 rack pricing
2. Half rack cabinet pricing
3. Full rack cabinet pricing
4. Full cabinet configurations such as 42U / 45U / 47U
5. Wholesale colocation pricing per kW

This allows users to assess retail rack and wholesale colocation pricing alongside facility capacity, infrastructure, and market location.

3. Compare operators — Benchmark operators by facility footprint, IT capacity, rack capacity, and geographic presence.
4. Map new investment — Identify where new capital is being directed and which organizations are expanding.
5. Assess regional capacity — Compare existing and upcoming white-floor area, IT load, and rack capacity.
6. Evaluate markets — Compare established data center hubs with emerging locations across APAC.
7. Benchmark colocation — Use retail and wholesale pricing data to understand commercial conditions across covered markets.
8. Support market entry — Identify operators, investors, locations, projects, and potential expansion opportunities.
9. Support infrastructure planning — Review facility-level capacity and infrastructure characteristics when assessing potential requirements.
10. Monitor competitive activity — Track operator presence and project development across multiple countries.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

1. Primary sources: data center contractors and subcontractors, system integrators (power, cooling, physical security, fire suppression), developers and infrastructure providers.
2. Secondary sources: Arizton monitors 500+ colocation operators across about 50 countries through press releases, annual reports, investor presentations, industry reports, and news.
3. Clean counting: phase-wise expansions sit in existing facilities. Ground-up builds sit in upcoming. Campuses count only operational buildings. Capacity colocated inside another provider's facility is not double-counted.
4. Actual and estimated values: investment figures blend reported and estimated values, with estimates based on the average data center build cost in APAC.
