China’s thriving data centre market

China’s data centre market is constantly growing, with several new data centre developments earmarked by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology within the ‘Eastern Data, Western Computing’ plan. According to Arizton, the Internet data centre market in China is expected to be valued at $34.03 billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 2.69% between 2022 and 2028.

In recent months, two investment funds in Singapore have announced commitments to invest in China. The CapitaLand China Data Centre Partners (CDCP) will invest $389.6 million in two hyperscale data centre developments in the Greater Beijing area, while Singapore’s Keppel Data Centre Fund II LP entered into a strategic partnership with Heying to develop a greenfield data centre in Beijing worth $218.9 million.

Opportunities for Chinese companies in Southeast Asia

Valued at $12.3 billion and considered one of the fastest-growing markets in the world, Southeast Asia presents many expansion and investment opportunities for companies in China.

Several Chinese companies have already expanded into the region, with investments in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Examples include Huawei’s partnerships with Aesler and PlanetComm, China Mobile International’s data centre agreement with Indonesia’s NeutraDC, Tencent Cloud’s recent developments in Indonesia and Thailand, Shanghai DC-Science’s new $600 million data centre facility in Malaysia, and a new 168MW data centre planned by GDS in Malaysia.
