Explore a unique way to assess and score 92 global primary and emerging data center markets utilizing 14 criteria.
Report Highlights
The year 2024 has been challenging for commercial real estate and the economy. However, Cushman & Wakefield has observed strong growth in the global data center market, particularly in established and emerging markets. The increasing demand for AI deployment and cloud services is driving this growth, while scarcity of land and unreliable power supply remain significant challenges for hyperscale investors.
The 2024 Global Data Center Market Comparison report provides the 14 weighted categories for market analysis, covering core factors such as power availability, land availability, and market size, along with supplementary factors like development pipeline, land price, support policies, and sustainability elements.
Our data shows that land prices in many markets across APAC remain elevated. Even in secondary markets such as Bantam, Perth, Ho Chi Minh City, and Jakarta, land prices are on the rise, with data center operators increasingly active in acquiring land there. Ho Chi Minh City stands out as a rapidly developing market due to the advantage of geographic location and diverse infrastructure.
