Brazil. Mexico. Chile. Colombia. Argentina. — Expanding Latin America's Data Center Construction Market to USD 6.93 Billion by 2031
Latin America is entering a new phase of digital infrastructure growth, emerging as a key destination for hyperscale, cloud, and AI-driven investments. Rather than being shaped by a single regional trend, each market is developing a distinct growth story, with Brazil leading hyperscale expansion, Mexico benefiting from nearshoring demand, Chile advancing policy-led infrastructure development, Colombia strengthening regional connectivity, and Argentina expanding AI-focused infrastructure opportunities.
Rising enterprise digitalization, AI adoption, cloud deployments, and 5G expansion are accelerating demand for modern data center capacity across the region. At the same time, growing investments from hyperscalers, colocation providers, telecom operators, and governments are strengthening Latin America’s position in the global digital infrastructure landscape.
Explore the country-specific trends transforming Latin America’s data center landscape.
Brazil: The Region’s Largest and Most Strategic Data Center Market
Market Size: USD 1.74 billion in 2025 → USD 2.87 billion by 2031
Brazil is expected to remain the largest data center market in Latin America by 2031, accounting for around 36% of the region’s total power capacity. The country continues to lead regional expansion through strong enterprise cloud adoption, advanced connectivity infrastructure, and growing hyperscale investments. Global cloud and AI providers are increasingly expanding in Brazil, highlighted by Alibaba Cloud’s plans to establish its first data center in the country. Rising AI workloads, digital consumption, and internet penetration are further strengthening Brazil’s position as the region’s leading digital infrastructure hub.
Mexico: Nearshoring Is Redefining Data Center Growth
Market Size: USD 532 million in 2025 → USD 1.76 billion by 2031
Mexico’s data center market is being reshaped by the movement of manufacturing, supply chains, and enterprise operations closer to North America. As companies expand regional operations, demand is increasing for low-latency infrastructure that can support cloud services, AI applications, and enterprise workloads. Telecom operators and government-backed projects are also supporting new infrastructure development across the country. Mexico’s expansion is increasingly tied to cross-border digital operations, industrial digitalization, and enterprise connectivity requirements, positioning the country as a critical digital infrastructure bridge between the US and Latin America.
Chile: Building Latin America’s Most Structured Digital Infrastructure Ecosystem
Market Size: USD 436 million in 2024 → USD 994 million by 2030
Chile is strengthening its position as one of South America’s most attractive data center investment destinations through long-term infrastructure planning and government-led digital initiatives. Policies focused on sustainability, cybersecurity, and regulatory efficiency are improving investment confidence and supporting future expansion. The country is also attracting growing hyperscale interest, including AWS’s approved cloud campus project in Santiago, reinforcing Chile’s role as a stable and investment-ready digital infrastructure market.
Colombia: Expanding Its Role in Latin America’s Digital Economy
Market Size: USD 70 million in 2025 → USD 590 million by 2031
Colombia’s data center market is gaining momentum as the country strengthens digital connectivity, enterprise technology adoption, and regional infrastructure development. Unlike larger Latin American markets focused mainly on hyperscale scale-up, Colombia’s growth is being supported by ecosystem expansion, industry collaboration, and rising demand for reliable digital infrastructure. The launch of the Colombian Association of Data Centers and Data Technology (ACOLDC) reflects growing efforts to position data centers as a critical part of the country’s digital economy and long-term technology development strategy. As operators continue expanding beyond traditional regional hubs, Colombia is increasingly emerging as an important connectivity market within Latin America.
Argentina: Expanding Investments in AI-Focused Infrastructure
Market Size: USD 49 million in 2025 → USD 180 million by 2031
Argentina is strengthening its position as an emerging AI-focused infrastructure market as operators expand investments in high-density and GPU-ready data center environments. Increasing demand for AI workloads is driving upgrades in power and cooling systems, while the government is actively promoting the country as a future global AI hub through investment-friendly policies, competitive energy costs, and land availability. Buenos Aires continues to host the highest concentration of data centers in the country, and Argentina’s network of free trade zones is creating additional advantages for long-term infrastructure development through lower operational costs, tax benefits, and simplified customs procedures.
Future Regional Growth Outlook
Latin America is expected to become one of the fastest-growing regions for digital infrastructure investment over the next decade, driven by rising AI workloads, hyperscale cloud expansion, enterprise digitalization, and increasing data consumption. As global operators expand beyond traditional markets in the US and Europe, Latin America is gaining importance as a long-term growth destination for cloud, colocation, and AI infrastructure development.
Countries with strong power availability, reliable connectivity, supportive regulations, and sustainable infrastructure strategies are expected to attract the next wave of hyperscale and AI-driven investments. With global technology providers continuing to strengthen regional presence, Latin America is gradually evolving from an emerging market into a critical part of the global digital infrastructure ecosystem.
