Full analysis

The Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market covers the physical infrastructure installed in Cambodian data centers: electrical systems, mechanical and cooling systems, civil, structural and architectural works, fire protection and monitoring hardware, and IT and network hardware (servers, storage, networking equipment, cabling, racks and enclosures). DC Market Insights values the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market at USD 60.88 million in 2025 and forecasts USD 376.30 million by 2035, a CAGR of 19.98%. The 2025 value is built from capacity: about 3.4 MW of IT load completed in 2025, at USD 6.42 million of facility infrastructure per MW in conventional halls, gives USD 22.09 million of electrical, mechanical, civil and other facility works, IT and network hardware for those new halls adds USD 11.49 million, and refresh of servers, storage and network equipment on an installed base of about 26.7 MW adds USD 21.74 million, with USD 5.56 million of facility retrofits on the same base. Edge data centers are the fastest-growing data center type at 28.41% a year as 5G services, launched in Phnom Penh, key areas of Siem Reap and 13 other provinces, expand to the rest of the country, and Sihanoukville and the coastal provinces are the fastest-growing region at 28.88% a year because the new Sihanoukville to Hong Kong cable lands there.

Executive Summary

The Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market size was valued at USD 23.51 million in 2020, reached USD 60.88 million in 2025, and is anticipated to reach USD 376.30 million by 2035, at a CAGR of 19.98% during the forecast period.

Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market Size 2035 USD 376.30 Million

The Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market grew at 20.96% a year between 2020 and 2025, but not in a straight line. DC Market Insights estimates spending peaked at USD 63.08 million in 2023, when ByteDC opened a facility with up to 3 MW of IT capacity in Phnom Penh, fell 30.4% to USD 43.89 million in 2024 as no project of that size completed, and recovered 38.7% to USD 60.88 million in 2025. Growth averages 19.98% a year to 2035 as annual completions rise from 3.4 MW to 16.3 MW.

IT and network infrastructure is 54.6% of 2025 value because refresh of servers, storage and network equipment in existing bank, telecom, government and colocation rooms is the largest single spend. The facility layer, worth USD 27.65 million in 2025, is where new capacity shows up first: every MW of new IT load needs switchgear, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and cooling before any server is installed.

Market Scope: What Does the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market Cover?

The Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market is the annual spend on physical infrastructure built into and installed in data centers located in Cambodia, valued in current US dollars, with 2025 as the base year and forecasts to 2035. DC Market Insights sizes it at USD 60.88 million in 2025.

Included. Electrical infrastructure (utility service and grid connection inside the site boundary, transformers, UPS systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), power distribution units (PDUs), transfer switches, switchgear and generators); mechanical infrastructure (computer room air conditioners and air handlers (CRAC and CRAH), chillers, hot and cold aisle containment, pumps and piping, and liquid cooling); civil, structural and architectural works (site preparation, foundations, superstructure, building envelope, raised floors and modular building systems); other facility systems (fire detection and suppression, physical security and building monitoring hardware); and IT and network infrastructure (servers, storage, networking equipment, structured cabling and optical fiber, racks and enclosures). New builds, expansions, retrofits and IT refresh are all counted, in enterprise, colocation, telecom and cloud, government and edge facilities, including modular units.

Excluded. Land, design and engineering fees, permits, software licenses, systems integration and managed services, utility-side power plants and transmission lines, subsea cables and landing stations, colocation and cloud service revenues, electricity and operating costs.

How the segments fit together. The infrastructure type, data center type, delivery model and tier splits each re-cut the same USD 60.88 million total. The electrical, mechanical and IT and network splits break down their own infrastructure type, and the regional split allocates the total across four Cambodian sub-markets. The installed base in the model, about 26.7 MW of IT load at the end of 2025, includes in-house server rooms run by banks, telecom operators and ministries as well as the commercial facilities that Knight Frank research estimates at around 7 MW of operational capacity. Their service revenues are covered in the Cambodia Data Center Colocation Market report.

Market Drivers: What Drives the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market?

A government data center program, telecom modernization worth about USD 300 million and new international cable capacity drive the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market, which DC Market Insights forecasts at USD 100.38 million in 2027 and USD 187.37 million in 2030.

A USD 30 Million National Data Center Leads Public Spending

The Cambodian government broke ground in July 2023 on a 12-story National Data Center in Phnom Penh, estimated to cost USD 30 million, which will reportedly seek Tier IV certification and was set to launch in 2025, according to Data Center Dynamics. Japan agreed to provide grant aid of up to 2.3 billion yen, about USD 16 million, for the data center and the government digitization plan. In February 2025 the Office of the Council of Ministers instructed the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications (MPTC) that it “must accelerate the construction of the National Data Center as soon as possible” (Source: Council of Ministers letter). Government data centers account for USD 5.54 million of infrastructure spending in 2025 and USD 31.61 million in 2035 in the DC Market Insights model, and 56.9% of their 2025 spend goes to the facility layer because the program is building new halls rather than refreshing old ones.

CellCard’s USD 300 Million Huawei Program Includes Data Center Modernization

CellCard (CamGSM) agreed a memorandum of understanding with Huawei described as an investment of approximately USD 300 million over the next few years, covering 5G expansion, cloud AI infrastructure, an upgrade of its core DWDM fiber network and the modernization of data centers with Huawei’s Fusion Module 2000 modular data center solution. Telecom and cloud data centers are worth USD 11.14 million of infrastructure spending in 2025 and USD 78.65 million in 2035, a CAGR of 21.59% by DC Market Insights estimates.

A 3,000 km Cable to Hong Kong Opens Sihanoukville to Interconnection

The SHV-HK cable, nearly 3,000 km long with an overall design capacity of 80 Tbps, had landed at China Unicom’s Tseung Kwan O cable landing station in Hong Kong, Submarine Telecoms Forum reported in July 2026. China Unicom signed the project with the MPTC, and it gives Cambodia its first state-owned submarine cable. International capacity raises demand for networking equipment, structured cabling and optical fiber inside data halls: networking equipment is worth USD 6.51 million in 2025 and cabling and optical fiber USD 2.29 million in the DC Market Insights model, and the Sihanoukville and coastal provinces grow from USD 3.84 million to USD 48.54 million by 2035.

Local cloud platforms, edge sites for 5G and modular construction are reshaping the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market: DC Market Insights estimates servers rise from 45.4% of IT and network spend in 2025 to 50.8% in 2035.

Local Cloud and AI Platforms Lift Server Spending to USD 111.76 Million by 2035

Viettel IDC launched its international cloud computing brand Vcloudia in Cambodia on 19 August 2025, and Viettel IDC and Qualcomm will jointly deploy artificial intelligence (AI) solutions customized for Cambodian businesses, according to VnEconomy. The Cambodia Digital Government Policy 2022-2035 notes that only 30 percent of ministries and institutions use local data center services, which leaves room for workloads to move onshore. Servers grow 22.18% a year in the DC Market Insights model, from USD 15.07 million in 2025 to USD 111.76 million in 2035, the fastest IT and network item, because an AI hall carries about USD 11.80 million of IT and network hardware per MW against USD 3.12 million in a conventional hall.

Edge Sites Follow the 5G Rollout Outside Phnom Penh

The first phase of 5G covered Phnom Penh, key areas of Siem Reap and 13 other provinces including Kandal, Preah Sihanouk and Kampot, with later phases extending it to the remaining provinces, according to Telecom Review Asia. Edge data centers are the fastest-growing data center type in the DC Market Insights model at 28.41% a year, from USD 2.13 million in 2025 to USD 25.96 million in 2035.

Modular Builds and Tier III Designs Become the Default

ByteDC holds a Tier III Uptime Design Certification, which it says made it the first such facility in Cambodia, and Knight Frank research describes Chaktomuk Data Center as Tier III Plus Design-compliant with space for up to 900 IT racks. Tier 3 facilities hold 52.9% of 2025 infrastructure spending and reach 62.3% by 2035 in the DC Market Insights model, and modular factory-built projects rise from 9.9% to 13.7% of the market as CellCard’s modular program shows how operators add capacity without a new building.

Market Challenges: What Holds the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market Back?

High electricity prices, uneven grid reliability and a small commercial base of around 7 MW of operational capacity are the main constraints DC Market Insights sees on the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market.

Electricity Tariffs Are Among the Highest in ASEAN

The ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) says Cambodia’s electricity tariffs remain among the highest in ASEAN, particularly for industrial users, and that competing destinations such as Vietnam offer industrial tariffs roughly half those in Cambodia. Knight Frank research uses an electricity price of USD 0.158 per kWh in its data center analysis. High power prices raise the value of efficient UPS systems, chillers and containment: containment systems grow 19.89% a year and chillers 21.13% a year in the DC Market Insights model, faster than room cooling units at 15.61%.

Grid Outages Force Investment in Backup Power

World Bank Enterprise Survey 2023 data cited by AMRO show that 42.8% of Cambodian firms experienced electrical outages. Operators therefore buy more switchgear, generators and batteries per MW than in markets with stable grids: UPS systems, transfer switches and switchgear, and other electrical items such as generators together account for USD 8.28 million, or 64.7% of electrical infrastructure, in 2025 by DC Market Insights estimates.

A Small Commercial Base Limits Project Size

Knight Frank research estimates operational data center capacity in Cambodia at around 7 MW, and ByteDC, the only facility it profiles with a stated power capacity, is a 3 MW building. DC Market Insights completes 3.4 MW in 2025 and 16.3 MW in 2035, and treats slower conversion of plans into builds as the main downside risk in its low scenario.

Market Opportunities: Where Are the New Revenue Pools in the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market?

Colocation data centers, growing 23.16% a year, battery energy storage systems, growing 26.68% a year, and IT and network hardware in enterprise data centers, worth USD 15.75 million in 2025, are the largest new revenue pools in the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market.

Colocation Overtakes Enterprise Spending Before 2035

Colocation data centers account for USD 16.68 million of infrastructure spending in 2025 and USD 133.96 million in 2035, rising from 27.4% to 35.6% of the market, by DC Market Insights estimates, as banks and ministries move out of in-house rooms. Data Center Map lists 10 data centers in Cambodia, including facilities run by ByteDC, Chaktomuk, Daun Penh Data Center, Kepstar, MekongNet, Sabay Digital, Seatel and HTN Networks. The wider demand picture is covered in the Cambodia Data Center Market report.

Battery Energy Storage Nearly Doubles Its Share of Electrical Spend

Battery energy storage systems grow from USD 0.78 million in 2025 to USD 8.30 million in 2035, from 6.1% to 11.4% of electrical infrastructure. Huawei Digital Power commissioned a 12 MWh energy storage project developed with SchneiTec, including a 2 MWh grid-forming testbed that Huawei claims is Cambodia’s first grid-forming BESS, as reported in June 2025, and in April 2026 Greenlyzer and Royal Group signed a memorandum of agreement to explore pilots of hydrogen-based off-grid power for sites such as data centers, industrial facilities and remote locations.

Enterprise IT Refresh Keeps Hardware Demand Steady

Enterprise data centers spend USD 15.75 million on IT and network infrastructure in 2025 in the DC Market Insights matrix, 25.9% of the whole market. IT refresh on the installed base reaches USD 130.60 million in 2035.

Pricing: How Much Does Data Center Infrastructure Cost per MW in Cambodia?

A conventional data center hall in Cambodia needs about USD 6.42 million of electrical, mechanical, civil and other facility infrastructure per MW of IT load in 2025, and an AI hall about USD 8.95 million per MW. These are DC Market Insights estimates, excluding land, design fees and IT hardware.

Infrastructure spend per MW (USD million) 2025 2030 2035
Facility infrastructure, conventional hall 6.42 6.95 7.52
Facility infrastructure, AI hall 8.95 8.60 8.26
IT and network hardware, conventional hall 3.12 3.33 3.55
IT and network hardware, AI hall 11.80 11.11 10.46
IT refresh per installed MW per year 0.86 1.00 1.16

Announced figures give a cross-check. ByteDC’s 3 MW facility would carry about USD 28.62 million of facility and IT infrastructure at 2025 conventional costs, a DC Market Insights calculation, against the USD 30 million budget of the larger 12-story National Data Center.

Standards and Regulation: Which Rules Shape Data Center Infrastructure in Cambodia?

Three sets of rules shape data center infrastructure in Cambodia: the Digital Government Policy 2022-2035, Uptime Institute tier certification and the draft Law on Personal Data Protection.

Digital Government Policy 2022-2035. The policy also calls for national data centers with both operation and disaster recovery centers and commits the government to develop data center standards that define the technical frameworks and mechanisms for the design and construction of quality, safe and sustainable facilities.

Uptime Institute tiers. The Uptime Institute Tier Standard defines Tier III as concurrently maintainable, with redundant components as the key differentiator, and Tier IV as built on several independent and physically isolated systems. ByteDC holds Tier III design certification, and Tier 4 grows fastest of the tiers at 24.39% a year in the DC Market Insights model.

Draft Law on Personal Data Protection. The draft law would require a two-year implementation period after promulgation, breach notification to the ministry within 72 hours, and fines for legal entities of up to 600 million riels, about USD 145,000, or 10% of annual turnover. Transfers abroad would need ministry permission, appropriate safeguards or a listed exception such as written consent.

Commercial capacity is concentrated: ByteDC’s 3 MW facility equals about 43% of the around 7 MW of operational capacity estimated by Knight Frank research (DC Market Insights calculation). Knight Frank research also names Ezecom, Seatel, MekongNet and NeocomISP (NTC) among Cambodia’s operators, and Kepstar’s facility, listed by Data Center Map as Kepstar DC1 in Phnom Penh, was described at its November 2022 groundbreaking as the Kingdom’s first Tier III data center. On the equipment side, Huawei’s Fusion Module 2000 modular data center solution is the planned basis of CellCard’s data center modernization, and Huawei Digital Power worked with SchneiTec on a 12 MWh storage project with what Huawei claims is Cambodia’s first grid-forming BESS, while Viettel IDC brings its Vcloudia cloud platform with Qualcomm as an AI partner.

Methodology: How We Built the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market Model

DC Market Insights built the Cambodia Data Center Infrastructure Market from 17 annual capacity cohorts (2019 to 2035), each split into conventional and AI halls, starting from an installed base of 13.6 MW of IT load at the end of 2018 and reaching about 26.7 MW at the end of 2025 and about 120.1 MW at the end of 2035, with 2% of the base retired each year. New halls were priced at USD 6.42 million of facility infrastructure and USD 3.12 million of IT and network hardware per MW in conventional halls in 2025, and USD 8.95 million and USD 11.80 million per MW in AI halls; IT refresh was priced at USD 0.86 million and facility retrofit at USD 0.22 million per installed MW per year. The total was split by 5 infrastructure types, 6 electrical items, 5 mechanical items, 6 IT and network items, 5 data center types, 5 delivery models, 4 tiers and 4 regions, and every split sums to its parent. The result was checked top-down against the around 7 MW of operational commercial capacity in Knight Frank research, the 3 MW ByteDC facility completed in 2023, the 2023 take-up peak, and the USD 30 million National Data Center budget.
