Argentina Data Center Market Size, Share & Forecast to 2035

The Argentina Data Center Market is valued at USD 588.92 million in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 3.93 billion by 2035, up from USD 464.09 million in 2025, a CAGR of 23.81% from 2025 to 2035 (DC Market Insights estimate). What moves the money in Argentina is electricity policy more than server demand: Secretaría de Energía Resolution 264/2026, published on 25 September 2026, created a data-center category, XDEM-DATOS (DATOS is Spanish for data), in the wholesale power market that must contract 115% of its demand as firm capacity (Source: Secretaría de Energía), and that rule now decides where the 500 MW Stargate Argentina letter of intent signed with Sur Energy in October 2025 can be built. The Argentina Data Center Market covers spending on IT hardware, power and cooling equipment and the construction of facilities that house it, across colocation, cloud, telecom-operator, enterprise and government sites. The 2025 receipt is 12 MW of new IT capacity × USD 8.80 million per MW = USD 105.60 million of facility spend, plus USD 70.77 million of AI servers and refresh, plus about 120 MW of conventional IT in service at the start of 2025 × USD 2.40 million per MW-year = USD 287.72 million. AI Workloads are the fastest segment at 40.52% a year, and Patagonia is the fastest region at 47.09% a year because cheap wind power, free zones and the RIGI tax regime pull gigawatt-scale AI campus proposals to Chubut.

How Big Is the Argentina Data Center Market in 2026, in Numbers?

DC Market Insights estimates the Argentina Data Center Market at USD 588.92 million in 2026, 26.90% above the USD 464.09 million of 2025.

Key Takeaways: What Should Buyers Know About the Argentina Data Center Market?

• The Argentina Data Center Market grows 23.81% a year to 2035 because AI halls cost about USD 35 million per MW of IT against USD 2.40 million per MW-year for conventional IT.
• Power cost decides site choice in the Argentina Data Center Market because a 100 MW AI hall pays between USD 85.5 million and USD 153.0 million a year for energy at July 2026 wholesale prices (DC Market Insights estimate on CAMMESA prices).
• Patagonia rises from 5.00% to 28.00% of the Argentina Data Center Market because the 300 MW Atlas GigaHub and the 500 MW Stargate proposals sit outside the congested Buenos Aires grid.
• Colocation stays the largest data center type at 40.00% of 2035 value because Equinix lists no Argentine site among its 19 Latin American data centers, so cloud providers enter through local partners such as Claro.

What Is the Argentina Data Center Market Worth from 2020 to 2035?

The Argentina Data Center Market size was valued at USD 229.00 million in 2020, reached USD 464.09 million in 2025, and is anticipated to reach USD 3.93 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 23.81% during the forecast period.

Attribute	Argentina Data Center Market
Historical period	2020-2024
Base year	2025
Forecast period	2026-2035
Market size 2025	USD 464.09 million
Market size 2026	USD 588.92 million
CAGR 2025-2035	23.81%
Market size 2035	USD 3.93 billion

Growth in the Argentina Data Center Market ran at 15.17% a year from 2020 to 2025 as installed IT capacity rose from about 90 MW to about 132 MW and operators such as Cirion Technologies added halls in Buenos Aires. From 2026 the slope steepens: new IT capacity rises from 12 MW in 2025 to 46 MW in 2030 and 76 MW in 2035, and the AI share of each new megawatt climbs from 15% to 50%, so installed capacity reaches about 569 MW in 2035, of which about 208 MW serves AI.

What Does the Argentina Data Center Market Include?

The Argentina Data Center Market includes USD 464.09 million of 2025 spending on equipment and construction inside Argentine data centers of every size.

Included

• IT hardware in Argentine data centers: servers, AI accelerators, storage and data center networking, including the hardware behind cloud storage, big data and computing power services sold in Argentina.
• Power solutions (switchgear, UPS, generators, busways) and cooling systems for new and expanded halls.
• General construction and fit-out of colocation, cloud, telecom-operator, enterprise and government facilities, including micro and mobile data centers and provincial (federal) edge computing sites.

Excluded

• Electricity bills, land, grid connection works paid by the utility and colocation rental revenue.
• Software licences and cloud subscriptions bought by Argentine users from data centers abroad.

Data Platforms, Microservices and Hosting Services

Searchers often look for an Argentina autonomous data platform market, an Argentina microservices architecture market or an Argentina hosting infrastructure services market; in this report those layers count only through the servers, storage and halls they run on in Argentina, worth USD 358.49 million of IT Infrastructure in 2025, while the software licences and hosting fees themselves sit outside the scope. The same rule applies to searches for an Argentina portable data storage market, an Argentina open database connectivity (ODBC) market and an Argentina private cloud services market: portable storage and database connectivity software are excluded, and hosted private cloud is counted through the colocation and enterprise halls it runs in, worth USD 297.02 million in 2025.

How the Segments Fit Together

Component, workload, data center type, end user and tier standard each split the same USD 464.09 million total for 2025. Sites up to 5 MW are analysed in more depth in the Argentina Edge Data Center Market, which is a subset of this market; the Argentina Data Center Market is in turn one country line of the Latin America Data Center Market.

Why Do Argentina Data Center Market Estimates Differ?

Estimates for the Argentina Data Center Market differ because the 2026 figure of USD 588.92 million counts only equipment and construction inside Argentine sites, while broader definitions add cloud revenue, software and IT services.

Earlier editions of this DC Market Insights page counted IT services and were not built from capacity, so they gave a much larger number. The new build counts megawatts first and prices each one, which gives USD 464.09 million for 2025. Broader definitions also count cloud storage subscriptions, big data analytics software, telecom and managed IT services, and public cloud bills paid to regions in Brazil and Chile; this report leaves those out.

Element	In this report	Why
IT hardware in Argentine sites	Yes, USD 358.49 million (2025)	Physical spend tied to installed MW
Power, cooling and construction	Yes, USD 105.60 million (2025)	Facility spend per new MW
Cloud and software revenue	No	Revenue on top of the same hardware
Electricity and land	No	Operating cost, not equipment
Small and mid-sized enterprise server rooms	Yes, inside Enterprise and Government (USD 120.66 million)	On-premise IT counted where it sits

Buyer groups inside the scope include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with server rooms, provincial governments, banks, energy producers in the Vaca Muerta basin and the cloud providers that rent wholesale halls.

Market Drivers: Why Is Spending on Argentine Data Centers Rising?

Three Argentina-specific forces lift the Argentina Data Center Market from USD 464.09 million in 2025 to USD 1.84 billion in 2030: a power-market rule written for data centers, an investment-tax regime that has drawn gigawatt proposals, and hyperscale cloud arriving through local partners.

XDEM-DATOS: A 115% Firm-Power Rule Written for Data Centers

The Secretaría de Energía created the Régimen de Grandes Demandas en el MEM (XDEM) in Resolution 264/2026 of 24 September 2026, with a category for loads used for intensive computing such as data centers (Resolution 264/2026). A new load of at least 0.5% of average wholesale-market demand, about 82 MW on 2025 generation of 142,789 GWh (Source: Central Puerto, March 2026), must contract firm capacity for 115% of its demand, cover at least 80% of its energy and pay a capacity reserve charge of USD 2,500 per MW per quarter. The rule gives AI campus developers a defined route to grid power instead of case-by-case approval, which is why DC Market Insights models AI capacity in the Argentina Data Center Market rising from about 3 MW at end-2025 to about 208 MW in 2035.

Stargate Argentina and RIGI: A 500 MW Letter of Intent Worth Up to USD 25 Billion

On 10 October 2025 the Presidency announced a letter of intent between OpenAI and Sur Energy for a data center of up to 500 MW and up to USD 25 billion, structured under the Régimen de Incentivo para Grandes Inversiones (RIGI) (Government of Argentina). RIGI had 25 approved projects worth USD 68.44 billion by 19 October 2026, none of them a data center yet (Source: Casa Rosada press briefing, 19 October 2026), and the Súper RIGI announced on 8 May 2026 cuts income tax to 15% from 25%. DC Market Insights counts only 30% of the Stargate capacity in the base case before 2035; the full 500 MW is the main reason the high case reaches USD 6.05 billion.

Hyperscale Cloud Through Partners: AWS Local Zone and Oracle Alloy at Claro

Amazon Web Services opened a Buenos Aires Local Zone on 28 November 2022, its first in Latin America (Source: Amazon Web Services), and Oracle said on 6 October 2026 that Claro will run the first Oracle Alloy hyperscale cloud in Argentina from its local data center from December 2026, with more than 200 cloud and AI services (Source: Oracle). Cloud and Hyperscale facilities therefore grow fastest among data center types in the Argentina Data Center Market, at 34.48% a year, from USD 64.97 million in 2025 to USD 1.26 billion in 2035.

Market Trends: How Is the Argentina Data Center Market Changing?

Two trends reshape the Argentina Data Center Market: large users can now buy power directly in a reopening wholesale market, and traffic growth keeps Buenos Aires interconnection halls full.

Large Users Buy Thermal Power Directly Under Resolution 293/2026

The second stage of wholesale-market normalization, announced on 21 October 2026, lets large users join the market monthly from 1 December 2026 and raises the share of thermal output allowed into large-user contracts from 20% to 60% in April 2027, 80% in April 2028 and no limit from 1 January 2029 (Source: Government of Argentina). For Argentine data center operators this means power contracts priced against an assigned market cost of 93.9 USD per MWh in July 2026 rather than the 167.9 USD per MWh charged for uncovered non-residential demand (CAMMESA, July 2026).

Traffic: 8.5 Million Fixed Accesses and a 4.15 Tbps Exchange Peak

INDEC counted 8,516,515 fixed internet accesses in the fourth quarter of 2025, up 4.1% a year, and 40,419,638 mobile accesses (INDEC, March 2026), while the CABASE exchange network peaked at 4.15 Tbps in June 2026 against about 3.20 Tbps on a normal day (Source: CABASE). That demand keeps Buenos Aires City and General Pacheco, together 50.00% of 2025 value, the core of the Argentina Data Center Market even as AI moves south.

Patagonia as the AI Campus Location

The Atlas GigaHub proposal in Chubut, cited in a Chamber of Deputies information request, plans about 300 MW in a first phase and up to 3,000 MW, linked to the Trelew free zone and RIGI (Source: Honorable Cámara de Diputados). DC Market Insights models Trelew rising from USD 4.64 million in 2025 to USD 471.26 million in 2035, the fastest location at 58.74% a year.

Market Challenges: What Slows Data Center Building in Argentina?

Two constraints hold the Argentina Data Center Market below its high case of USD 6.05 billion: summer grid peaks around Buenos Aires and a data protection law written in 2000.

Summer Peaks: 30,257 MW of Record Demand on 10 February 2025

Argentine demand hit a record 30,257 MW on 10 February 2025 (Source: Central Puerto, March 2026), so new loads in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area compete with air conditioning for scarce firm capacity. Installed data center IT of about 132 MW draws about 1.13 TWh a year, less than 1% of national generation, but a single 100 MW AI hall would add 130 MW of grid demand at a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.3, which is why DC Market Insights keeps Buenos Aires Province growth at 20.60% a year, below Patagonia.

An Ageing Data Protection Law and No Adequacy Update

Personal data in Argentina is still governed by Ley 25.326 of 2000; bill 3862-D-2026, filed on 11 August 2026, only amends it for financial entities (Source: Honorable Cámara de Diputados). Banks and insurers, 22.00% of the Argentina Data Center Market in 2025, keep core systems in Tier III halls in Buenos Aires while rules on cross-border transfer stay unchanged, which slows their move to cloud regions abroad and to new campuses in the south.

Where Are the Biggest Opportunities in the Argentina Data Center Market?

The two largest openings in the Argentina Data Center Market are AI halls in Patagonia, where spending rises 47.09% a year, and colocation for energy and retail companies, where Energy and Mining grows 31.54% a year.

AI Halls on Patagonian Wind Power

Patagonia grows from USD 23.20 million in 2025 to USD 1.10 billion in 2035, a CAGR of 47.09%, as AI capacity moves to sites with room under the XDEM rule; suppliers of power solutions (USD 396.72 million in 2035) and cooling systems (USD 211.58 million) gain most from the first 100 MW halls.

Colocation for Vaca Muerta Producers and E-commerce

Energy and Mining is the fastest end user at 31.54% a year, rising from USD 27.85 million to USD 431.99 million, as shale producers in Neuquén process seismic and drilling data locally; Retail and E-commerce rises from USD 55.69 million to USD 549.80 million as marketplaces such as Mercado Libre, which relies on third-party regional cloud infrastructure according to its 2025 annual report, add local capacity.

What Does a Megawatt of Data Center Capacity Cost in Argentina?

Each new megawatt of data center IT capacity in Argentina costs USD 8.8 million per MW to build before servers (DC Market Insights estimate for 2025), and that per-MW cost rises 32% by 2035 as rack density rises.

Unit price	2020	2025	2030	2035
Facility cost per MW of IT (USD million)	8.00	8.80	10.20	11.60
AI IT hardware per AI MW (USD million)	36.00	35.00	32.50	30.00
Conventional IT per installed MW-year (USD million)	2.10	2.40	2.55	2.70

Public price anchors: CAMMESA reported an assigned market cost of 93.9 USD per MWh, a spot price of 168.6 USD per MWh and 167.9 USD per MWh for uncovered non-residential demand in July 2026; the XDEM capacity reserve charge is USD 2,500 per MW per quarter (USD 5,000 during an extension). Cirion Technologies sized its August 2025 Buenos Aires expansion at more than 2 MW and about 160 racks (Source: Cirion Technologies, August 2025).

Which Rules and Standards Shape Data Centers in Argentina?

Five rules shape the Argentina Data Center Market, worth USD 588.92 million in 2026: one power-market regime, one market reform, two investment laws and one data law.

DC Exclusive: The Argentina XDEM-DATOS Power Cost Ladder

A 100 MW AI hall in Argentina would pay between USD 85.5 million and USD 153.0 million a year for energy plus USD 1.30 million in XDEM reserve charges, according to this DC Market Insights model built on 8 inputs (PUE 1.3, 80% utilisation, the two CAMMESA July 2026 prices, the USD 2,500 per MW per quarter reserve charge, the 115% firm cover, the 0.5% threshold and 2025 generation of 142,789 GWh).

Site class	IT load (MW)	Grid demand (MW)	Energy (GWh/yr)	Energy at 93.9 USD/MWh (USD m/yr)	Energy at 167.9 USD/MWh (USD m/yr)	Under XDEM	Reserve charge (USD m/yr)
Enterprise or colocation hall	10	13	91	8.6	15.3	No	0.00
Metro colocation campus	50	65	456	42.8	76.5	No	0.00
Large AI hall	100	130	911	85.5	153.0	Yes	1.30
Atlas GigaHub phase 1 class	300	390	2,733	256.6	458.9	Yes	3.90
Stargate Argentina class	500	650	4,555	427.7	764.8	Yes	6.50

The ladder shows the threshold effect in the Argentina Data Center Market: loads under about 82 MW of grid demand stay outside XDEM and buy power like any large user, while the 100 MW, 300 MW and 500 MW classes must contract 115% firm capacity. For a 500 MW Stargate-class campus the gap between the assigned market cost and the uncovered price is about USD 337 million a year, enough to pay for about 29 MW of new halls a year at 2035 facility prices; this is why power contracting, not land, sets the pace of AI campus building.

Which Region of Argentina Leads Data Center Spending?

Buenos Aires Province leads the Argentina Data Center Market with USD 241.33 million in 2025, 52.00% of value, while Patagonia grows fastest at 47.09% a year.

Methodology: How the Model Sizes the Argentina Data Center Market

DC Market Insights sized the Argentina Data Center Market bottom-up from 16 yearly capacity cohorts, 9 model inputs and 26 ledger facts, giving USD 464.09 million for 2025.

Facility spend = new IT MW × facility cost per MW (USD 8.80 million in 2025); AI IT = new AI MW × USD 35 million plus 20% yearly refresh of installed AI MW; conventional IT = start-of-year conventional MW × USD 2.40 million per MW-year with 1% retirement. Unit costs follow the Data Center Market report so that country lines add up across DC Market Insights reports; the full approach is in our research methodology.

• Bound 1 (ceiling): about 132 MW of installed IT at PUE 1.5 and 65% load uses 1.13 TWh, 0.79% of 2025 generation of 142,789 GWh.
• Bound 2 (ceiling): 208 MW of AI capacity in 2035 is 26% of the 800 MW announced by Stargate Argentina (500 MW) and Atlas GigaHub phase 1 (300 MW).
• Bound 3 (floor): 20.5 MW named by Telecom Argentina, Cirion and EdgeConneX × USD 2.40 million = USD 49.2 million of conventional IT, below the USD 287.72 million modelled for the whole country.

The neighbouring Latin America Edge Data Center Market uses the same capacity anchors for sites up to 5 MW.
