Thailand Data Center - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026 - 2031)

The Thailand Data Center Market was valued at USD 1.89 billion in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 2.22 billion in 2026 to reach USD 4.9 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 17.21% during the forecast period (2026-2031).

In terms of market size, the market is expected to grow from 0.77 thousand megawatt in 2025 to 2.93 thousand megawatt by 2030, at a CAGR of 30.60% during the forecast period (2025-2030). The market segment shares and estimates are calculated and reported in terms of MW. Hyperscaler capital commitments, Thailand 4.0 policy incentives, and aggressive submarine-cable builds underpin the expansion, while grid modernization and progressive renewable-energy purchase rules sustain operator confidence. Enterprise cloud migration accelerated AI adoption, and edge buildouts in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) further strengthen demand. Competition intensifies as global platforms enter, spurring facility upgrades in rack density, liquid cooling, and carrier-neutral interconnection.

Thailand Data Center Market Trends and Insights

Rising Cloud-First Digital Transformation Mandates Among Thai Enterprises

Continuous state-backed digital policies now oblige corporations to host regulated workloads in-country. The Board of Investment grants up to 13-year income-tax holidays on projects above THB 750 million (USD 21.7 million) that add local compute, lowering the effective total cost of ownership. Manufacturers such as Midea run 5G-enabled smart factories in the EEC that depend on proximate edge nodes for real-time quality control. Mergers in fixed broadband, notably AIS-3BB, lift access speeds and hasten enterprise cloud adoption. Carrier-neutral sites with dense on-ramps therefore secure long-term contracts despite premium pricing.

Aggressive Submarine-Cable Investments Enhancing International Connectivity

New trans-Asian systems shorten round-trip latency to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo below 10 milliseconds, enabling content, fintech, and SaaS firms to anchor regional workloads inside Bangkok. Hyperscalers cite bandwidth gains as the precondition for launching sovereign cloud regions, which cascade demand into wholesale colocation halls requiring triple-path fiber and dark-fiber diversity. Better throughput also lets Thai operators serve neighbouring Mekong markets from domestic hubs, opening wholesale revenue streams.

Land Scarcity and Soaring Bangkok Real-Estate Costs

Prime plots inside Bangkok's carrier hotels and CBD corridors command record premiums that squeeze multi-tenant operators on expansion budgets. Hyperscalers leverage deeper balance sheets to pre-empt entire industrial parks, leaving colocators to retrofit vertical extensions or migrate capacity to outer provinces. Resultant site hunts add months to project lead-times and compel higher rack-density strategies to lift revenue per square meter.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

1. Government Incentives Under Thailand 4.0 Driving Data Localization
2. Surge in AI and High-Density Computing Workloads Requiring Hyperscale Capacity
3. Chronic Grid Stability Issues Outside Primary Metro Areas

Segment Analysis

Medium facilities accounted for a notable slice of the Thailand data center market size, growing at 17.95% CAGR as enterprises and telecom carriers prioritize low-latency zones closer to users. Large campuses hold economies of scale and captured 26.35% of Thailand data center market share in 2025, but their downtown land constraints limit additional expansion.

Operators replicate standardized 6-12 MW blueprints in provincial industrial estates, aligning with 5G edge computing rollouts by Advanced Info Service that anchor private network cores near manufacturing clusters. The pattern lowers transport latency for factory automation and drives diverse demand beyond Bangkok.

Tier 3 specifications represented 85.62% of Thailand data center market share in 2025, demonstrating enterprise comfort with 99.982% uptime at more practical price points than Tier 4. Upgrades to support high-density AI racks fuel a 18.88% CAGR for Tier 3 builds over 2026-2031.

Colocation providers enhance redundancy via modular power trains and hot-swap chillers rather than shifting to full Tier 4, preserving capex discipline. STT GDC's Frost and Sullivan award spotlights operational excellence inside Tier 3 footprints optimized for liquid immersion cooling demand.
