JAPAN DATA CENTER COLOCATION DEMAND AND SUPPLY HIGHLIGHTS
The Japan data center colocation market size was valued at USD 2.87 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 6.70 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 15.18% during the forecast period. The data center market in the country is experiencing the emergence of self-built hyperscale data center facilities by major operators such as Google, Microsoft, and AWS. This development is expected to impact the colocation market in Japan. Since these hyperscale operators store workloads in their own data center facilities, it may reduce the source of revenue generation for colocation operators.
The Japan colocation data center market is one of the leading data center colocation markets in the APAC region. And the average occupancy rate of data center facilities is expected to reach around 93% by 2030. Furthermore, data center operators in Japan are constructing large-scale, high-powered facilities to meet the rising demand for digital services across various industries. NTT DATA, GLP (Ada Infrastructure), EdgeConneX, APL, and Global Compute Infrastructure (GCI) are building data center campuses with capacities of more than 100 MW. These development initiatives clearly indicate that the market share of large colocation facilities is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
Some of the leading colocation operators in the Japan data center colocation market are NTT Communications, Equinix, MC Digital Realty, AirTrunk, Colt Data Centre Services, AT TOKYO, and Others. Japan is advancing toward sustainable and green data centers by adopting energy-efficient designs, renewable energy sources, and innovative cooling solutions. For instance, in June 2024, Digital Edge signed a 500 MW renewable energy partnership with Peak Energy, owned by Stonepeak, to deploy renewable energy projects in Japan. The projects will support up to 1 GW of power and generate more than 1,300 GWh per year.
