Full analysis
The Thailand AI Data Center Market is valued at USD 903.78 million in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 4.56 billion by 2035, up from USD 391.51 million in 2025, a CAGR of 27.84% from 2025 to 2035 (DC Market Insights estimate). The Thailand AI Data Center Market covers the facility infrastructure built and run for artificial intelligence (AI) workloads in Thailand: electrical systems, cooling, the building shell and fit-out, the AI network fabric, and operations services and software; graphics processing unit (GPU) servers and storage are excluded. The 2025 build receipt is half of the 22.80 megawatts (MW) of AI IT capacity completed in 2025 (24% of the 95 MW completed in Thailand) × USD 10.20 million per AI MW, plus half of the 51.00 AI MW completing in 2026 × USD 10.46 million, = USD 383.01 million of capital spend, plus USD 8.50 million of services on about 21 MW of installed AI capacity. Operations Services and Software is the fastest-growing segment at 59.15% a year as the installed AI base grows from 44 MW to about 2,055 MW, and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is the fastest-growing region at 34.92% because the 250 MW AI campus of True Internet Data Center (IDC), branded True IDC, and the Skyline, Bridge and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) campuses sit in Chonburi and Chachoengsao.

- Bangkok Metropolitan Region leads with 62.00% of 2025 spend; the Eastern Economic Corridor overtakes it by 2035 with 48.00%.
- An AI data center in Thailand costs about USD 10.20 million per MW of IT load in 2025 before servers, in DC Market Insights estimates.
- Power is the binding limit: the EEC Office sees long-term data center demand above 10,000 MW against a plan of about 3,800 MW.

What Is the Thailand AI Data Center Market, and What Does It Cover?
The Thailand AI Data Center Market is the annual spend on facility infrastructure for AI workloads in Thailand, USD 391.51 million in 2025, across about 44 MW of installed AI IT capacity at the end of the year (DC Market Insights estimate). A Thai AI data center is a hall or campus built for GPU clusters at 30 kilowatts (kW) to over 130 kW per rack, such as the 20 MW AI hyperscale facility True IDC opened in Bangkok in May 2025 (Source: True IDC).
Included
- Electrical Infrastructure: substations, switchgear, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, generators, busways and power distribution for AI halls.
- Cooling Infrastructure: chillers, coolant distribution units, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, rear-door heat exchangers and air handling.
- Building Shell and Fit-Out: structure, raised floors, fire protection, security and commissioning.
- AI Network Fabric: high-bandwidth GPU interconnect cabling, switches and optics inside the hall.
- Operations Services and Software: maintenance, monitoring, data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software and facility operations on the installed AI base.
Excluded
- GPU servers, accelerators and storage (the TikTok server project and GPU cloud hardware are IT equipment, not facility spend).
- Land, electricity bills and power plants built for data centers.
- Colocation rent, GPU cloud and AI-as-a-service revenue.
- Conventional (non-AI) data center halls, sized in the Thailand Data Center Market report.
How the segments fit together
Every split sums to the same total every year: five components (Electrical USD 153.21 million, Cooling USD 76.60 million, Shell USD 107.24 million, Network USD 45.96 million, Operations USD 8.50 million in 2025), four data center types, two workloads and five Thai regions. The boundary with the Thailand Data Center Market is the AI hall: that report counts all halls and the IT inside them, this market counts only the facility layer of AI halls, so it is not a slice of the Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market total but overlaps its AI share.
Why Do Thailand AI Data Center Market Estimates Differ?
DC Market Insights values the Thailand AI Data Center Market at USD 903.78 million in 2026, and published estimates differ mainly because broader definitions add the GPU servers inside the halls. One AI MW carries about USD 10.20 million of facility content but USD 30 million or more of accelerator servers, so a definition that counts servers is roughly four times larger. Other definitions add GPU cloud and AI-as-a-service revenue, colocation rent for AI tenants, or the whole multi-year budget of a Board of Investment (BOI) approval in the year it is announced. An earlier DC Market Insights edition of this page put 2025 at USD 216.71 million on a mixed definition; the current USD 391.51 million is built from AI MW and the cost per MW.
| Element | In this report | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Power, cooling, shell and fit-out of AI halls | Yes, USD 337.05 million (2025) | Facility content per AI MW |
| AI network fabric inside the hall | Yes, USD 45.96 million (2025) | Installed with the hall |
| Operations services and DCIM software | Yes, USD 8.50 million (2025) | Recurring spend on the installed AI base |
| GPU servers, accelerators and storage | No | IT equipment, refreshed every 4-5 years |
| GPU cloud and colocation revenue | No | Service revenue, not infrastructure spend |
| Power plants and land | No | Energy and real estate, not data center content |
Out-of-scope terms such as GPU server spend, AI-as-a-service revenue, colocation rent, sovereign AI cloud subscriptions and captive renewable power plants are therefore not added to the total. In-scope buyers include hyperscale cloud providers, colocation operators, government and state enterprises, banks, telecom operators and the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that rent GPU racks in colocation halls.
What Drives Thailand AI Data Center Demand in 2026?
Three drivers lift new Thai AI capacity from 22.80 MW in 2025 to 211.50 MW in 2030: record BOI data center applications, hyperscale cloud regions, and a national AI and sovereign-cloud policy.
THB 728 billion of BOI data center applications in 2025
The BOI received 36 data center projects with a combined investment value of more than USD 23.1 billion (THB 728 billion) in 2025 (Source: Thailand Board of Investment (BOI)). In May and June 2025 alone it approved six projects worth THB 115.4 billion (USD 3.57 billion) with about 740 MW of IT load (Source: BOI). Since 2025 the BOI also gives its highest incentive tier to data centers with a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.3 or lower and GPU-enabled computing, which steers new halls toward AI designs (Source: BOI). DC Market Insights counts only the AI share of capacity that reaches construction: 51.00 MW in 2026 and 115.50 MW in 2027.
Three hyperscale cloud regions in 13 months
Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched its Asia Pacific (Thailand) Region with three Availability Zones in January 2025 and plans to invest more than USD 5 billion in Thailand (Source: Amazon). Google Cloud opened its Bangkok region with three zones in January 2026 as part of a USD 1 billion investment (Source: Google Cloud), and Microsoft named True IDC as a data center partner for its Thailand cloud region in October 2025 (Source: Microsoft). Hyperscale Self-Build grows at 30.90% a year in DC Market Insights estimates, from USD 117.45 million to USD 1.73 billion.
A national AI strategy and sovereign GPU cloud
The Thai cabinet approved the Thailand National AI Strategy and Action Plan (2022-2027) in July 2022, aiming at an AI development and application ecosystem by 2027 (Source: National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC)). Siam.AI Cloud, a Gulf-backed company, became the first Thai NVIDIA Corporation (NVIDIA) Cloud Partner and launched an NVIDIA H100 GPU cluster hosted at the Gulf, Singtel and AIS (GSA) Data Center in December 2024 (Source: Siam.AI Cloud). Draft government cloud guidelines from the Digital Government Development Agency (DGA) require highly protected data to stay in sovereign or state-controlled clouds in Thailand (Source: DGA). Sovereign and Government AI grows at 30.19% a year to USD 547.79 million by 2035.
Which Trends Are Reshaping Thailand AI Data Center Build-Outs?
Three trends shape the build-out: AI campuses of 100-300 MW in the EEC, liquid cooling as standard, and a shift of spend from training to inference.
From 20 MW halls to 250 MW AI campuses
True IDC broke ground on a 250 MW AI hyperscale data center in the EEC in April 2026 at a cost of THB 77 billion (USD 2.36 billion), with the first phase due in 2027 (Source: True IDC). Skyline Data Center and Cloud Services (DAMAC Group) won BOI approval for 200 MW in Chachoengsao and Bridge Data Centres for 134 MW in Chonburi in May 2026 (Source: BOI). DC Market Insights lifts the AI share of new Thai capacity from 24% in 2025 to 45% in 2030 and 50% in 2035.
Liquid cooling becomes the default
Racks of 30-130 kW cannot be cooled by air alone, so Cooling Infrastructure rises from 19.57% to 20.95% of spend and grows at 28.72% a year to USD 956.44 million by 2035 (DC Market Insights estimate). The BOI PUE threshold of 1.3 reinforces the shift, because direct-to-chip cooling cuts fan and chiller energy.
Inference overtakes training
AI Inference holds 38.00% of 2025 spend and 60.00% by 2035, growing at 33.82% a year, as Thai banks, retailers and government agencies run models close to users under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). In July 2026 the BOI approved USD 235.2 million for Datasection to build GPU server infrastructure in Bangkok and Pathum Thani (Source: BOI, July 2026).
What Challenges Hold Back the Thailand AI Data Center Market?
Grid capacity and community opposition in the EEC are the two largest constraints, and together they explain why the base case adds 2,087 MW of AI capacity over 2026-2035, not the 2.5 GW of IT load in the announced pipeline.
Power demand of 10,000 MW against a plan of 3,800 MW
The EEC Office estimates that long-term electricity demand from data centers could exceed 10,000 MW, while its current accommodation plan is about 3,800 MW (Source: EEC Office, August 2026). The BOI set up a subcommittee on energy management for data center investment, chaired by the Minister of Energy, to screen projects before they apply for incentives (Source: BOI, July 2026). Data centers are expected to use 6 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity by 2030 (Source: Ember). In the low case, with 30% less new AI capacity, the 2035 market is USD 3.29 billion instead of USD 4.56 billion.
Tariffs, water and local opposition
The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) set the power charge at THB 3.95 per unit for May-August 2026 (Source: ERC), and its direct renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) framework is still a draft that requires at least 50 MW of IT load per building (Source: ERC). The Prachin Buri People’s Network gathered more than 11,207 signatures against EEC expansion in August 2026, citing water and power (Source: Prachin Buri People’s Network). Each 100 MW AI campus delayed by one year removes about USD 1.0 billion from the forecast years in DC Market Insights estimates.
Where Are the New Revenue Opportunities in Thai AI Data Centers?
The two largest new revenue pools are cooling retrofits and liquid cooling, USD 956.44 million by 2035, and operations services on the installed AI base, USD 886.28 million by 2035.
Liquid cooling and power trains
Electrical Infrastructure reaches USD 1.40 billion by 2035, growing 24.74% a year, and Cooling Infrastructure reaches USD 956.44 million, growing 28.72% a year (DC Market Insights estimate). Delta Electronics (Thailand) reported 2025 sales of THB 198,514 million, up 20.3%, driven by demand for data-center energy-management solutions (Source: Delta Electronics (Thailand)), and Thai suppliers of switchgear, busways and coolant distribution units gain from local-content preferences.
Operations services: USD 8.50 million to USD 886.28 million
Operations Services and Software is the fastest-growing segment at 59.15% a year because every AI MW installed needs about USD 0.40-0.50 million of maintenance, monitoring and DCIM software a year (DC Market Insights estimate). The installed AI base rises from about 44 MW at the end of 2025 to about 2,055 MW at the end of 2035, so service contracts become a fifth of the market.
What Is the Thailand AI Data Center Cost per MW?
An AI data center in Thailand costs about USD 10.20 million per MW of IT load to build in 2025 before servers (DC Market Insights estimate), rising to USD 12.00 million per MW by 2035 as liquid cooling and denser power trains spread.
| Price point | 2020 | 2025 | 2030 | 2035 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Facility and network content per AI MW (USD million) | 8.40 | 10.20 | 11.50 | 12.00 |
| Operations spend per installed AI MW a year (USD million) | 0.32 | 0.40 | 0.45 | 0.50 |
Public price anchors:
- True IDC’s 250 MW EEC AI campus at THB 77 billion (USD 2.36 billion) implies USD 9.44 million per MW (Source: True IDC).
- Skyline’s 200 MW Chachoengsao project at THB 46 billion (USD 1.4 billion) implies USD 7.0 million per MW, and Bridge Data Centres’ 134 MW at USD 746 million implies USD 5.57 million per MW, both for mixed-use halls (Source: BOI).
- The six May-June 2025 BOI approvals, USD 3.57 billion for about 740 MW, average USD 4.82 million per MW across conventional and AI halls (Source: BOI).
The model’s USD 10.20 million per AI MW sits above the mixed-use anchors because it adds the AI network fabric (about USD 1.2 million per MW) and the denser power and cooling of a GPU hall, and close to the True IDC AI campus.
Which Rules and Standards Shape Thailand AI Data Center Investment?
Five rules shape AI data center investment in Thailand, led by the BOI incentive conditions that tie the top tier to a PUE of 1.3 and GPU capability.
- BOI data center promotion conditions: construction and service standards, PUE and water-management requirements; ISO/IEC 27001 certification is required before the corporate income tax exemption applies (Source: BOI).
- Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA): the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) had imposed about THB 21.5 million of fines by August 2025, raising demand for in-country hosting (Source: PDPC).
- DGA government cloud guidelines: highly protected government data must stay in sovereign or state-controlled clouds in Thailand (Source: DGA).
- Draft AI law: Thailand’s draft AI principles went to public hearing in June 2025 and are to become a draft AI Act (Source: Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA)).
- ERC direct PPA framework (draft): BOI-promoted data centers with at least 50 MW of IT load per building could buy 100% renewable power directly (Source: ERC).
DC Market Insights treats the PDPA and DGA rules as a demand driver for local AI hosting, worth USD 39.15 million of Sovereign and Government AI spend in 2025.
Which Segment Leads the Thailand AI Data Center Market, and What Is the Fastest Growing Segment?
Electrical Infrastructure leads the Thailand AI Data Center Market with 39.13% of 2025 spend (USD 153.21 million), and Operations Services and Software is the fastest-growing segment at 59.15% a year to 2035 (DC Market Insights estimate).

Chonburi overtakes Bangkok by 2035 (USD 1.10 billion against USD 867.33 million) because the largest AI campuses under construction are in Chonburi industrial estates.
How Could the 2035 Thailand AI Data Center Forecast Change? Three Scenarios
The 2035 Thailand AI Data Center Market ranges from USD 3.29 billion to USD 5.75 billion around a base case of USD 4.56 billion, depending on how much grid power the EEC can supply and how fast AI halls replace conventional ones.
| Scenario | Assumption | 2035 (USD billion) | CAGR 2025-2035 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | AI capacity 30% below base (EEC grid plan stays at 3,800 MW) | 3.29 | 23.71% |
| Base | 2,087 MW of AI capacity added 2026-2035; AI share 50% by 2035 | 4.56 | 27.84% |
| High | AI capacity 25% above base (direct PPAs approved, TikTok and hyperscale halls built on time) | 5.75 | 30.83% |
The ERC direct PPA framework is the swing factor: if it is adopted in 2027, the market tracks the high case.
Who Are the Leading Thailand AI Data Center Companies, and What Is Their Market Share?
True IDC leads with about 22% of 2025 spend, and the four largest builders (True IDC, AWS, Google and GSA Data Center with Siam.AI Cloud) hold about 55% (DC Market Insights estimate, based on disclosed AI MW and cloud-region builds).

How Did DC Market Insights Build the Thailand AI Data Center Market Model? (Methodology)
The model books half of each AI hall’s capital spend in its completion year and half in the year before: 11.40 MW × USD 10.20 million (USD 116.28 million) plus 25.50 MW × USD 10.46 million (USD 266.73 million) gives USD 383.01 million for 2025, and it adds USD 8.50 million of operations spend on the installed AI base. Thai completions (30 MW in 2020, 95 MW in 2025, 470 MW in 2030, 600 MW in 2035) match the Thailand Data Center Market model; the AI share rises from 3% (2020) to 24% (2025), 45% (2030) and 50% (2035); content per AI MW is USD 8.40 million (2020), USD 10.20 million (2025), USD 11.50 million (2030) and USD 12.00 million (2035); 1% of the installed AI base retires each year. Component, type, workload, region and province shares are set for 2025 and 2035, interpolated, and sum to the total every year.
Three bound checks:
- Ceiling 1: the 755 MW of AI capacity added over 2026-2030 is 30% of the 2.5 GW of IT load in the announced Thai pipeline (DC Market Insights estimate).
- Ceiling 2: model spend of USD 9.86 billion over 2025-2030 is 42.7% of the USD 23.1 billion of BOI data center applications received in 2025 alone, which also include servers and land (Source: BOI).
- Floor: True IDC’s 20 MW Bangkok AI facility at the USD 9.44 million per MW of its EEC campus is about USD 189 million, below the model’s USD 553.66 million of AI capital spend in 2024-2025.
