Singapore Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2024-2029

MARKET OUTLOOK

The Singapore data center market will witness investments of USD 5.48 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.35% during the forecast period. Singapore is one of the major markets in the Southeast Asia region. Data center investments in Singapore have slowed down in recent years due to the moratorium on data center construction. However, after lifting the moratorium in 2022, the Singapore data center market has started receiving investments. For instance, in August 2023, Singtel announced the start of the construction of its new data center facility (DC Tuas) located in Singapore facility, which is expected to become operational by 2025. Also, growing digitalization in industries such as healthcare, BFSI, education, transportation, and logistics, among others, will boost the Singapore data center market growth.

Singapore acts as one of the digital capitals in the APAC region with the start of government initiatives such as Infocomm Media 2025 and Smart Nation. The country leads in the high-density sub-sea cable network with diverse connectivity to other APAC, EMEA markets and the US. ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, Equinix, Keppel Data Centres, Digital Realty, Princeton Digital Group, Telin Singapore, and others are some of the major colocation service providers in the Singapore data center market. The growing demand for cloud operations will also support the growth of wholesale colocation revenue in the coming years. Further, the Singapore government is working toward sustainability. It supports building green data centers to reduce carbon emissions. For instance, the SS 564 Green Data Centers Standard (SS 564) stands as a notable certifiable guideline for sustainable and energy-efficient data centers in Singapore.
