Thailand provides opportunities to join the market of data centers which are highly sought-after by foreign and domestic investors. Private equity firms, corporate investors companies’ investment funds for infrastructure and pensions along with sovereign wealth funds all have provided an impressive quantity of funds to this particular asset class. Investors looking to invest in this growing sector should be aware of tax-related and legal structuring factors to maximize the value of their investments.

Rising data traffic and investment promotion indicate potential growth opportunity      

Due to some businesses hosting their data “on-premise,” the new colocation developments will be more resistant to the expensive downtime that they currently experience. The rapid increase in investment is expected to be attested to the future growth of the data center market and are therefore securing sizeable land plots that can accommodate the multi-megawatt leasing deals that the likes of Tencent, Amazon, and Microsoft require to operate their Cloud platforms in the country.

  • In Q1 2022, Bangkok recorded 5 MW of take-up, attributable mainly to public Cloud deployments, whilst the total yearly take-up for 2021 was 14.32 MW which represents a nearly 900% increase on 2020 take-up, which goes some way in outlining the growth trajectory of the market is experiencing now that the hyper-scale cloud providers are focusing on the region. Aggregate current supply climbed marginally to 147 MW, with NTT announcing the development of their Bangkok facility.

Future supply growth is characterized by a plan to develop the data center campus by some of the developments taking place in the country:

  • Etix Everywhere after acquiring the majority stake in Genesis Data Center’s 2.4 MW facility.
  • Singtel, a Singapore telecommunications provider, has signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Thailand’s Gulf Energy and local telco Advanced Info Service (AIS) to develop data centers across the country.
  • Raimon Land, a top luxury property developer in Thailand, also made a big move to the data center sector after forming a strategic partnership with Nautilus Data Technologies, a US-based data center developer. The partnership allows Raimon Land to provide world-class infrastructure in the country as well as other regional neighbors.

By 2025, the data center market in Thailand is expected to double in size to 100 MW of live capacity, given the hyper-scale Cloud interest in the region. Furthermore, due to the increased emphasis on cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and reliability, it is anticipated that the shift from these company-owned servers inside office buildings towards public Cloud facilities will become more obvious.
