APAC's IT Power Capacity to Reach 944GW by 2028: IDC

Growing Demand for Data Center Infrastructure

IDC's recent report on the Asia-Pacific (APAC) excluding Japan data center market forecasts a significant surge in installed IT power capacity over the next five years.

According to the report, the region's IT power capacity is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2%, reaching an impressive 944GW by 2028. This growth is largely driven by the increasing adoption of cloud computing, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across various industries in the region.

The report highlights the rapid expansion of data center infrastructure in APAC, particularly in key markets such as China, India, and Singapore. These countries are experiencing a surge in demand for data center services as businesses seek to meet the growing needs of their customers and capitalize on the opportunities presented by digital transformation.

The report also analyzes the different deployment models adopted by organizations in the region. Colocation data centers continue to be popular, offering flexibility and scalability for businesses. However, hyperscale data centers are also gaining traction as cloud providers and large enterprises seek to build their own private infrastructure.

The findings of the IDC report provide valuable insights for data center operators, investors, and government agencies in the APAC region. As the demand for data center infrastructure continues to grow, understanding the market trends and growth projections becomes crucial for effective planning and investment decisions.
