The data centre colocation market in APAC is expected to grow from US$15.5 million in 2021 to US$47.9m by 2028 at an estimated CAGR of 17.5% across the same time frame thanks to substantial growth in the e-commerce and IT and telecom industries. This is down to the increasing population and rising penetration of the internet which, as a result, has boosted the construction of data centre colocation facilities.
