NEW ZEALAND DATA CENTER MARKET SIZE & SHARE

The New Zealand data center market size will witness investments of USD 1.44 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.02% during the forecast period.

Auckland, a primary data center hub in New Zealand, is experiencing a surge in data centers, aiming at the expansion of cloud service providers in the Oceania region. The reliance on digital infrastructure is growing, attracting US cloud service providers. The government is actively supporting digital growth by implementing tax incentives and simplified permit processes for data centers, creating a favorable environment for the booming digital economy.

The New Zealand data center market is on the path of becoming a major hub, driven by the increasing demand for cloud services, digital transformation initiatives, and AI-driven workloads. Furthermore, the New Zealand Overseas Investment Office (OIO) plays a pivotal role in regulating and facilitating foreign investments in the country, including data centers. Its primary function is to assess and grant consent for overseas investments involving New Zealand assets, such as significant land acquisitions and substantial business assets.

New Zealand’s cloud-first policy is part of the broader New Zealand 4.0 initiative, aimed at transforming the country into a value-based, innovation-driven economy. This policy mandates that government agencies prioritize cloud services for their IT infrastructure requirements.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  1. As AI technology evolves, the demand for robust data infrastructure is intensifying, with New Zealand strategically preparing to serve this growing market. With increased investments in technology and infrastructure, the country can attract businesses looking for reliable data storage and processing solutions and support the New Zealand data center market growth.
  2. According to Turner & Townsend’s Data Center Cost Index for 2024, the construction cost of data centers in Auckland, New Zealand was approximately $12.00 per watt. The cost is expected to increase year over year due to several factors, including supply chain issues, inflation, and interest rates.
  3. According to our estimates, the average occupancy rate of third-party data center facilities in New Zealand as of 2024 was more than 89%. This rate is anticipated to grow significantly, possibly surpassing 95% by 2030. This upward trend can be attributed to the accelerating pace of digital transformation and substantial investments in artificial intelligence throughout the country.
  4. Currently, New Zealand has seven operational submarine cables and is witnessing investment in three additional submarine cables, which are expected to become operational by 2026–2027. Multiple submarine cables enable high-speed data transmission, decrease latency, and meet the increasing demand for broadband and cloud services, which are essential for New Zealand’s digital economy.
