Vietnam Data Center Colocation Market Growth Insights – Utilized White Floor Area to Reach 4,107.7 Thousand Sq. Ft., Utilized Racks to Reach 96.10 Thousand Units, and IT Power Capacity to Reach 890 MW by 2031.

VIETNAM DATA CENTER COLOCATION MARKET SIZE

Vietnam data center colocation market size was valued at USD 212 million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 760 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 27.71% during the forecast period. Vietnam colocation data center market is one of the top-rated colocation data center markets in the Southeast Asia region.

Vietnam continues to witness expansion in white floor area capacities, supported by relatively competitive land acquisition costs outside central business districts, particularly in locations such as Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park and the Rest of Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietnam's colocation market comprises a combination of domestic and international operators. Major providers include Viettel IDC, VNPT, FPT Telecom, CMC Telecom, NTT DATA, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), Gaw Capital Partners, Edge Centres, and other regional colocation operators.

Vietnam aims to achieve the full adoption of cloud computing across government agencies by 2030; this is part of its strategy to advance the digital economy and become one of the leading countries in ASEAN for data centers and cloud computing services by 2030. Furthermore, Vietnam is aiming to be a developed and high-income country by 2045. According to the program, by 2030, there should be at least three Made in Vietnam cloud computing platforms, which will be certified to international standards. It aims to attract domestic & foreign investment to build large-scale, modern, and high-performance data centers that are secure, green/sustainable, and of international standard. In June 2026, Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched a new Local Zone in Hanoi, Vietnam, to provide low-latency cloud infrastructure closer to end users. The local zone supports services, including Amazon S3 and Amazon EBS Local Snapshots, enabling customers to meet local data residency requirements.

The Vietnamese government has set a goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050; it is aiming to increase the share of renewable energy in its national energy mix to 39.2% by 2030.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS & NEWS IN THE VIETNAM DATA CENTER COLOCATION MARKET

1. In November 2025, Kinh Bac City Development Holding Corporation (KBC), Accelerated Infrastructure Capital (AIC), and VietinBank collaborated to develop an AI-focused data center campus, with a planned capacity of 200 MW, in Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park.
2. In June 2026, Foxconn partnered with Brookfield to develop up to 1GW of renewable energy and battery energy storage capacity in Vietnam under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The project will support Foxconn’s expansion and accelerate clean energy adoption to meet rising industrial and digital power demand.

VIETNAM DATA CENTER COLOCATION MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS

Rise in Automation & Digitalization Technology

Vietnam is accelerating digital transformation through the adoption of AI, cloud computing, automation, and advanced digital technologies across industries, driving demand for high-performance data center infrastructure.

AI adoption in Vietnam is still in its early stages; however, the government is actively promoting AI research and deployment through the National Strategy on Research, Development, and Application of Artificial Intelligence, aiming to establish Vietnam as a leading AI innovation hub in the ASEAN region by 2030.

The national AI strategy supports AI adoption across sectors such as agriculture, defense, digital economy, education, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, science & technology, and public services.

In May 2025, Viettel IDC partnered with KT to develop an AI-focused data center and GPU farm in Vietnam with an investment of around $94.5 million.

Kinh Bac City Development Holding Corporation (KBC), Accelerated Infrastructure Capital (AIC), and VietinBank signed a partnership agreement to develop a large-scale AI-enabled data center at Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park in Ho Chi Minh City.

Improvement in Connectivity VIA Submarine Cables

Vietnam currently has around six operational submarine cable systems that provide international connectivity and support the country's expanding digital economy. The development of approximately three upcoming submarine cable systems is expected to improve network redundancy, increase international bandwidth capacity, and strengthen Vietnam's attractiveness for cloud providers and colocation data center investments.

In August 2025, Vietnam launched the Vietnam-Singapore Terrestrial Network (VSTN), a 2,423.3-mile land cable from Da Nang to Singapore through Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia. It is owned by the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT).

INDUSTRY RESTRAINT

Power Availability and Outage Challenges

Reliable power infrastructure remains one of the key factors influencing data center site selection in Vietnam. Extreme weather events and submarine cable disruptions continue to pose operational challenges for digital infrastructure.

In September 2025, Typhoon Yagi caused widespread damage to northern Vietnam's power transmission network, disrupting electricity supply before restoration efforts recovered most of the affected 500kV, 220kV, and 110kV transmission lines.

In June 2025, the Asia Pacific Gateway (APG), Asia Africa Europe-1 (AAE-1), and Tata TGN Intra Asia submarine cables experienced partial and full outages, resulting in slower internet connectivity across Vietnam.

Vietnam continues to experience power supply constraints in several northern industrial provinces during periods of peak electricity demand, encouraging greater investments in grid expansion, renewable energy integration, and backup power infrastructure for mission-critical facilities such as data centers.

VIETNAM DATA CENTER COLOCATION MARKET SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS

INSIGHTS BY COLOCATION DEMAND

Based on the colocation demand by industry, in 2025, the cloud & IT sector dominated the colocation market in Vietnam, holding a market share of around 20%. This share is expected to increase in the coming years as several sectors continue to migrate their workloads to cloud platforms. Supporting this growth, Vietnam aims to achieve full adoption of cloud computing across all government agencies by 2031 as part of its strategy to advance the digital economy. Additionally, the country aims for 70% of businesses in Vietnam to use cloud computing services offered by domestic companies.

INSIGHTS BY COLOCATION REVENUE

Based on revenue, retail colocation dominated the market's total revenue in 2025. However, the contribution of the wholesale segment is projected to expand to nearly 47% by 2031. This transition is primarily driven by rising hyperscale deployments, increasing wholesale leasing activities, and continued cloud adoption.

The increasing development of hyperscale and AI-ready data centers by global cloud providers and infrastructure investors is expected to reshape Vietnam's colocation market. As hyperscale operators continue investing in large-scale facilities, demand for wholesale colocation capacity is expected to increase while supporting the country's long-term digital infrastructure growth.
