MARKET OUTLOOK

Colombia data center market will witness investments of over USD 705 million by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 8.17% during 2023-2028. The country has the fourth-largest economy among all Latin American countries. The economic freedom score of Colombia stands at 65.1, higher than the world’s average, attracting data center investments into the country. Organizations across sectors such as BFSI and IT are migrating their on-premises workloads to the cloud to enjoy the associated benefits of a cloud landscape, such as reduced costs and increased flexibility. Huawei has planned to expand into the Latin American market with its first Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Colombia, offering cloud services.

Colombia offers excellent connectivity due to the presence of Atlantic and Pacific submarine cables. The country has around ten submarine cables, such as AMX-1, ARCOS, CFX-1, Colombia Festoon, and GlobeNet, among others which are in operation; two upcoming submarine cables are in the pipeline. Further, steps are being taken for the decarbonization of the energy transmission system of the country as the government is working on transitioning from the usage of fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. In December 2022, Elecnor inaugurated one of the largest wind farms in Colombia, consisting of 10 wind turbines with an investment of over USD 18.9 million.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

• The ongoing digital transformation and adoption of technologies such as big data, IoT, AI & ML by organizations in the country are driving huge investments from local and global colocation operators in the Colombia data center market.
• The capital Bogota hosts the maximum number of data centers in the country. The city has around 80% of Colombia's total existing data center capacity. The capital provides high-bandwidth capacity while great connectivity to the countries such as the U.S., making it a prominent location for data center investments.
