Taiwan Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2025-2030

TAIWAN DATA CENTER MARKET SIZE & OUTLOOK

The Taiwan data center market size will witness investments of USD 2.94 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.05% during the forecast period. Taiwan is recognized as one of the leading technological destinations in Asia. It produces more than 60% of the global semiconductors. The Taiwan data center market is characterized by a growing demand for infrastructure, driven by increasing digitalization, cloud adoption, and the expansion of 5G networks.

The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) is the primary law that governs the collection, processing, and use of personal data in Taiwan. It was established in 1995 and is working to align with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR). As of January 2025, Taiwan has a social media penetration rate of 79%, which means around 18 million people in Taiwan are active users of social media. Furthermore, the country’s government is committed to sustainability, supporting initiatives such as the smart grid and renewable energy for power generation. Taiwan aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 through the growth of green energy.

Taiwan has about 12 existing submarine cables, with four upcoming ones during 2025–2027. Some of Taiwan’s major telecom operators are Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, and Far EasTone Telecommunications, and its regulatory authority is the National Communications Commission (NCC), which has regulated telecommunications and broadcasting services since 2006. Furthermore, global cloud providers such as Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud are established and expanding their operations in the Taiwan data center market. AWS continues to grow its cloud footprint, capitalizing on the country’s expanding digital economy. In January 2024, it announced its plan to launch its cloud computing infrastructure, named the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region, which is expected to be operational in 2025.
