Structure Research has released reports on Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta data centre markets, projecting Kuala Lumpur's colocation market to reach $1.1 billion by 2030 and Jakarta's to grow at a 5-year CAGR of 11% to $856 million. The reports highlight the emergence of these cities as strategic hubs in Southeast Asia, driven by hyperscale cloud expansion, AI infrastructure development, and regional positioning.

Structure Research has released comprehensive reports on the data centre markets in Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta, projecting significant growth in the colocation market. The Kuala Lumpur data centre colocation market is expected to reach USD $1.1 billion by 2030, representing a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31% [1]. Meanwhile, Jakarta's market is projected to grow at a 5-year CAGR of 11% to reach USD $856 million by 2030 [1].

The reports highlight the emergence of Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta as strategic hubs in Southeast Asia, driven by hyperscale cloud expansion, AI infrastructure development, and regional positioning. Kuala Lumpur, with its proximity to Singapore and Johor, is poised to attract AI inference and cloud infrastructure workloads. Jakarta, on the other hand, is witnessing steady growth with Chinese cloud platforms resuming CapEx investments and U.S.-based hyperscalers increasing their presence [1].

Key findings from the reports include the expansion of hyperscale cloud providers in Kuala Lumpur, with Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Microsoft, and Google increasing their presence. Jakarta is expected to see over 65MW of hyperscale colocation inventory come online in 2025, with overall capacity projected to double by 2030 [1]. Both markets are also seeing renewed interest in interconnection, particularly from global operators and enterprises seeking to diversify deployments across the region [1].

These reports provide detailed data on market size, hyperscale leasing, self-build capacity, interconnection, and geographic clustering, equipping investors, operators, and stakeholders with insights to guide expansion strategies in Southeast Asia. The Bangkok 2025 Report, to be released in Q4, will provide further insights into the region's rapidly growing data centre market [1].
