The Asia-Pacific region is leading the global datacenter industry with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of 12% and is expected to reach US$28 billion in 2021, becoming the world’s largest datacenter market. At the top of this wave is the two largest economies of China and Southeast Asia.

In China, the industry is developing rapidly, owning the second-largest number of datacenters in the world, after the United States, with an annual growth rate of more than 20% both in terms of quantity and scale. At an industry level, 5G, IoT, the industrial Internet and digital transformation abounds with waves of good news, propelled by the “new infrastructure” policy. From 2021 to 2022, China’s datacenter industry will usher in an outbreak period of landing and production.

In the Southeast Asia (“SEA”), market growth is expected to hit CAGR of 13% from 2019 to 2024. Amongst SEA, Singapore ranks third in the global datacentre market of 38 countries and is the only mature market. Vietnam, on the other hand, recently announced its 2025 National Digital Transformation Plan and 2030 Development Direction, whereas Malaysia has developed a “dual-core” datacenter deployment plan. Meanwhile, the Thailand government is strengthening domestic communication and network infrastructure to support the construction of hyper-large datacenters.

Such rapid growth and expansion of the Asian datacenter industry has increased competition amongst new entrants. However, whilst many will be enticed by the huge market potential and opportunities, whether it is the Chinese companies expanding to SEA or others looking to enter the Chinese market, they are set to face steep challenges in the various countries. To name a few; geographic landscape, imperfect infrastructure, policy constraints, business culture differences, and geopolitical instability all pose significant risks. 

Hence, W.Media is convening datacenter experts to offer an insider peek into the world’s two fastest-growing markets. Join us as we hear from industry leaders on the current situation, opportunities and challenges of the China and SEA market, and what you can expect in 2021 and beyond.

It will be an insightful dual-language event (English/Chinese), where you can gather cutting-edge industry information and in-depth market understanding from our experts.

亚太地区正在以12%的年复合增长率引领全球数据中心行业的发展的浪潮。在2021年，亚太地区的数据中心市场规模预计将达到280亿美元，有望成为全球最大的数据中心市场。在浪潮之巅，最引人瞩目的莫过于中国和东南亚两大经济体。

在中国，数据中心行业发展迅猛，无论在数量还是规模上，都保持了20%以上的年增长率，数据中心数量仅次于美国，位于世界第二。行业层面，5G、物联网、工业互联网和传统企业上云，持续释放利好。政策层面，“新基建”政策的出台，又助之一臂之力。2021至2022年，中国数据中心行业将迎来落地投产的爆发期。

 在东南亚，2019年至2024年，数据中心市场的复合年增长率预计将达到13%。其中，新加坡在全球38个国家的数据中心市场中排名第三，是东南亚唯一一个成熟的数据中心市场。越南在2020 年公布了《至2025年国家数字化转型计划及2030年发展方向》，马来西亚制定了“双核心“数据中心部署计划，泰国政府也在加强国内通信和网络基础设施，支持建设超大型数据中心。

数据中心行业在亚洲的迅速发展，为新进入者打开了竞争的大门。然而，无论是中国企业出海东南亚，还是海外企业进军中国市场，在看到巨大的市场潜力和机会的同时，在不同国家也会面临种种挑战：地理环境的差异、基础设施的不完善、政策的特殊性和不确定性、商业文化的差异、地缘政治风险等等。

W.Media将聚焦中国和东南亚两个市场，邀请不同市场的专家和玩家汇聚一堂，分享中国和东南亚数据中心市场投资与布局的现状、政策、特点、机会与挑战。
