Increasing Implementation of Hyperscalers and Colocation Boosts Asia Pacific Data Center Construction Market

A hyperscale is a kind of large-scale data center that offers vast computing capabilities, often in the form of an elastic cloud platform. Organizations use them to manage and deliver extensive applications and services. The objective of hyperscalers is to expand their service offerings while maintaining better latency as well as improve availability in order to cover more ground. They face intense competition from colocation providers in addition to internal competitors. 37% of the capacity of data centers is owned by colocation providers such as Digital Realty, Equinix, CyrusOne, Chindata, and Global Switch; 32% by cloud service providers and hyperscalers; 20% by privately owned data centers; and 11% by telecoms.

Moreover, for small enterprises, constructing their data center involves huge capital. Since these enterprises have a limited budget or capital expenditure to construct a data center, the ROI is comparatively low. As a result, most of these enterprises are choosing colocation or cloud services. These companies do not require much storage space, and constructing their own data center is not feasible. Therefore, they depend on colocation or CSPs to store their data. Also, apart from the capital required to build a data center, other expenses and efforts such as maintenance and service become a burden for these companies.

Moreover, the demand for colocation services and hyperscalers is leading to the rise in the construction of mega data centers as they offer economies of scale. Thus, the increasing implementation of hyperscalers and colocation is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the Asia Pacific data center construction market growth during the forecast period.
