Challenges include power-infrastructure shortages in Tier-2 cities and supply chain constraints.Dublin, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The <a href="https://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/6254175/asia-pacific-artificial-intelligence-ai?utm_source=GNE&amp;utm_medium=PressRelease&amp;utm_code=rj58x2&amp;utm_campaign=2293684+-+Asia-Pacific+Artificial+Intelligence+(AI)+Optimised+Data+Center+-+Market+Share+Analysis%2c+Industry+Trends+%26+Statistics%2c+Growth+Forecasts+(2025-2030)&amp;utm_exec=clshmsai" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence (AI) Optimised Data Center - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends &amp; Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025-2030)">"Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence (AI) Optimised Data Center - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends &amp; Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025-2030)"</a> has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The Asia-Pacific artificial intelligence data center market is projected to experience significant growth, reaching a valuation of USD 26.67 billion by 2030, at a 22.69% CAGR from USD 9.59 billion in 2025. This expansion highlights the rise in regional digital infrastructure spending. The market is segmented by various parameters, including Data Center Type, Component, Tier Standard, End-User Industry, and Country. Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence (AI) Optimized Data Center Market Trends and Insights Government-backed AI compute subsidies drive infrastructure acceleration: South Korea's investment in its AI-optimized data center ecosystem, with USD 7 billion allocated, showcases a 400% increase over previous budgets. China's policy to keep 80% of AI workloads onshore by 2026 has spurred pre-lease rates and a surge in GPU stockpiling, while similar mandates across ASEAN are increasing sovereign-cloud premiums. Hyperscale cloud build-outs reshape Southeast Asian infrastructure: Google plans USD 3 billion investments in Thailand and Malaysia, and Microsoft commits USD 1.7 billion to Indonesia, emphasizing these regions' strategic grid advantages while meeting data-localization demands. Power-infrastructure shortages constrain Tier-2 city expansion: India's cities face grid allocation challenges, leading to longer connection times and reliance on renewable power agreements, which, while environmentally beneficial, increase project costs. <ul><li>AI-led retrofit of brownfield facilities to liquid cooling</li><li>Increasing generative-AI inference traffic at telecom edge nodes</li><li>ASIC/GPU export controls affecting supply lead-times</li></ul> Segment Analysis Colocation facilities, comprising 28.35% of spend, will grow at a 24.23% CAGR, driven by domestic control mandates for banking, insurance, and government entities. Although hyperscalers lead with a 55.82% share, their growth rate has plateaued. Colocation operators that can offer liquid cooling capabilities see increased pre-leases. The enterprise on-prem market will surpass USD 3 billion by 2030, showcasing a shift from public cloud reliance. Hyperscalers' expansion, including Microsoft and Google's substantial investments, is expected to bolster the segment's growth rate to 21.8% CAGR. Companies integrating submarine-cable rights with GPU capacity are strategically positioned against competitors. Colocation providers offering low-latency connectivity find favor as they bridge private clusters to hyperscale resources. Software remains pivotal, forming 45.83% of 2024's expenditure, with hardware seeing the fastest growth at 23.67% CAGR, expected to exceed USD 10 billion by 2030. Focus on cooling systems and power infrastructure is increasingly necessary to handle high energy demands. Services, although impacted by hyperscalers' in-house capabilities, remain vital as customers pursue managed solutions, especially given supply-chain constraints in networking equipment.
