The APAC region is experiencing a data centre construction boom, driven by the rapid growth of generative AI, IoT, and cloud computing. With capacity expected to soar from 14,270 MW in 2024 to 23,200 MW by 2029, the region is becoming the epicentre of the digital age. As demand accelerates, traditional construction methods are facing new challenges, leading to the rise of modular construction as a potential game-changer. Offering faster deployment, scalability, and cost savings, modular solutions are reshaping the landscape in advanced markets like China, Singapore, and Japan. However, emerging markets face barriers such as regulatory hurdles and resource shortages. In this evolving sector, a hybrid approach that blends the efficiency of modular systems with the bespoke nature of conventional builds may be the key to future-ready infrastructure. Explore how these trends are shaping the future of data centre construction in APAC and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
