Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market Size, Share & Forecast to 2035

The Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market covers the electrical, mechanical, civil, structural and architectural works and the IT and network infrastructure (racks, structured cabling, network equipment and monitoring) installed in data center buildings and campuses in Thailand; servers, storage and land are excluded. DC Market Insights values the Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market at USD 1.09 billion in 2025 and forecasts USD 5.90 billion by 2035, a CAGR of 18.39%. The 2025 value is built from the build itself: about 95 MW of IT capacity completed in 2025 and 170 MW completing in 2026, at about USD 6.37 million of infrastructure per MW in conventional halls and USD 9.13 million per MW in AI halls, gives USD 1.01 billion of new-build spend, and upgrades on an installed base of about 352 MW add USD 79.20 million. Mechanical infrastructure is the fastest-growing infrastructure segment at 19.25% a year because AI halls need liquid and high-density cooling, and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is the fastest-growing region at 24.18% a year because the largest new campuses are being built on industrial estates in Chonburi, Rayong and Chachoengsao.

Executive Summary

The Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market size was valued at USD 229.74 million in 2020, reached USD 1.09 billion in 2025, and is anticipated to reach USD 5.90 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 18.39% during the forecast period.

Report attribute	Details
Historical Period	2020-2024
Base Year	2025
Forecast Period	2026-2035
Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market Size 2025	USD 1.09 Billion
Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market, CAGR	18.39%
Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market Size 2035	USD 5.90 Billion

The market grew at 36.56% a year between 2020 and 2025, and 2025 alone added 73.9% over 2024 as projects promoted by the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) moved into construction. Growth is fastest in 2026 and 2027, when 170 MW and 300 MW complete, then slows as refresh work grows to USD 1.15 billion a year by 2035.

Live capacity was about 350 MW nationally in 2024, while the announced pipeline reached about 2.5 GW of IT load, roughly seven times what operates. DC Market Insights does not assume the whole pipeline is built: the model completes about 1,890 MW between 2026 and 2030 and puts cumulative infrastructure spending over those five years at USD 17.46 billion.

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

The Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market covers the physical infrastructure that turns land and a grid connection into an operating data hall in Thailand, valued at first sale in current US dollars, with 2025 as the base year and forecasts to 2035. DC Market Insights sizes it at USD 1.09 billion in 2025.

Included. Electrical infrastructure (switchgear, transformers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, batteries, generators and power distribution), mechanical infrastructure (chillers, air handlers, fan walls, liquid cooling and piping), civil, structural and architectural works (foundations, superstructure, building envelope, fire protection and physical security) and IT and network infrastructure (racks, containment, structured cabling, network equipment and data center infrastructure management (DCIM) systems).

Excluded. Servers, storage arrays and accelerators, land acquisition, utility-side grid investment, renewable generation assets and 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 1.09 billion total. The delivery-model split separates retrofit and upgrade work on existing halls, worth USD 72.86 million in 2025, from new-build work.

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

BOI investment applications of THB 728 billion in 2025 drive the Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market. Hyperscale cloud regions anchor the largest campuses, and AI halls raise infrastructure spend per MW to about USD 9.13 million.

BOI Applications of THB 728 Billion in 2025 Feed a Pipeline Seven Times Live Capacity

The BOI received 36 data center projects in 2025 with a combined investment value exceeding USD 23.1 billion (THB 728 billion) (Source: Thailand Board of Investment release). In the first half of 2025 alone, the data center business attracted THB 521.2 billion from 28 projects, part of record total applications of THB 1.06 trillion, up 139% on the year-earlier period. In May and June 2025 the board approved six data center projects worth THB 115.4 billion with a combined IT load of about 740 MW, from Stratus Technology (203 MW), Galaxy Peak Data Center (160 MW), Galaxy Data Center (150 MW), Digital Edge (96 MW), Bridge Data Centres (80 MW) and Vistas Technology (50 MW). DC Market Insights converts that pipeline into completions of 170 MW in 2026, 300 MW in 2027 and 520 MW in 2030, which lifts the installed base from about 447 MW at the end of 2025 to about 2,337 MW in 2030.

Hyperscale Cloud Regions Anchor the Largest Campuses

Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched its Asia Pacific (Thailand) Region in January 2025 with three availability zones and plans to invest more than USD 5 billion in the country (Source: Amazon press release). Google announced a USD 1 billion investment in a data center in an industrial estate in Chon Buri and a cloud region in Bangkok. Microsoft has named CP Group and True as partners for its Thailand cloud region, with True Internet Data Center (IDC) as data center operator for a facility scalable up to 60 MW. Hyperscale self-build infrastructure is a USD 340.42 million segment in 2025, 31.2% of the total by DC Market Insights estimates, growing 21.03% a year to USD 2.30 billion by 2035.

AI Halls Raise the Share of New Capacity from 6% to 59%

Graphics processing unit (GPU) halls need heavier power trains and liquid cooling. True IDC has launched what it describes as Thailand’s first AI hyperscale data center in Bangkok, with over 20 MW of power capacity and support for liquid cooling. True IDC has also broken ground on a THB 77 billion, 250 MW AI hyperscale data center in the EEC, with a first phase scheduled for 2027. DC Market Insights estimates that AI halls took 24% of new Thai capacity in 2025, up from 6% in 2023, and forecasts 52% in 2030 and 59% in 2035. New-build spend in AI halls rises from USD 387.49 million in 2025 to USD 2.98 billion in 2035.

Market Trends: How Is Data Center Infrastructure in Thailand Changing?

The Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market is shifting to campuses of 100 MW and more, to factory-built modules and to financing tied to renewable power.

Project Sizes Move from 12 to 20 MW to 100 MW and Above

A Siemens senior vice president has said that most bids used to be in the 12 to 20 MW range and that proposals now reach 100 MW. The BOI approvals confirm the shift: 10 of the 12 projects with a named IT load in the three BOI approval rounds covered in this report are 80 MW or larger, led by Stratus Technology at 203 MW and Skyline Data Center and Cloud Services at 200 MW. Larger halls shift the bill of materials toward medium-voltage switchgear, large UPS blocks and generator farms.

Modular and Prefabricated Delivery Rises to 17.2% of Spend

True IDC’s 250 MW EEC campus uses modular construction designed for faster deployment, and Vertiv opened an 84,000 m² plant for prefabricated data center modules in Rayong in 2018. Modular and prefabricated delivery is a USD 141.16 million segment in 2025 (12.9%), forecast by DC Market Insights to grow to USD 1.02 billion in 2035, growing 21.84% a year.

Green Loans and Direct Power Purchase Agreements Shape Design

Digital Edge and B.Grimm Power obtained USD 880 million of green loan financing for the 100 MW BKK Data Center Campus in Chonburi. The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) draft framework for direct power purchase agreements (PPAs) requires BOI promotion, at least 50 MW of IT baseload per building and 100% renewable procurement.

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

Grid capacity is the main brake: EEC data center power demand could exceed 10,000 MW against a 3,800 MW plan. Community opposition to new sites and electricity tariffs are the other constraints DC Market Insights expects to slow the Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market.

Power Supply Plans Cover Less Than Half of Long-Term EEC Demand

The EEC Office estimates that long-term data center electricity demand in the corridor could exceed 10,000 MW, while the current accommodation plan stands at around 3,800 MW. The direct PPA pilot quota of 2,000 MW, aimed mainly at data centers, was described as far from sufficient by Arnon Kulawongvanich, managing director of B.Grimm Technology. CGS International Securities (CGS) takes a different view: it does not see the EEC at risk from electricity limits to 2030 because the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has extended transmission to meet demand of up to 3.8 GW. Energy think tank Ember projects Thai data center electricity demand of 6 TWh by 2030 and 10 TWh by 2037.

Community Opposition Slows Site Approvals Beyond the EEC

Water is not the binding limit inside the corridor: CGS International Securities puts EEC water headroom at 117 to 184 million cubic meters a year between 2026 and 2031. Community consent is the harder test. In Prachin Buri, a province approved in principle for addition to the EEC, the Prachin Buri People’s Network collected more than 11,207 signatures opposing the expansion. DC Market Insights expects that scrutiny to favor air-cooled chillers and closed-loop liquid cooling.

Electricity Tariffs of 3.95 Baht per Unit Raise Running Costs

The ERC set the electricity tariff at 3.95 baht per unit for May to August 2026, up from 3.88 baht in the previous period. At those tariffs a 1 MW hall running all year at a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.4 consumes about 12.3 GWh and pays roughly THB 48 million for power (DC Market Insights calculation), which makes every 0.1 of PUE worth about THB 3.5 million a year and justifies spending on efficient cooling and power.

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

The two fastest-growing revenue pools in the Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market are retrofit and upgrade work, growing 30.64% a year, and edge data centers, growing 22.44% a year.

Retrofit and Upgrade Work Reaches USD 1.06 billion by 2035

Retrofit and upgrade spending is a USD 72.86 million segment in 2025, forecast to grow to USD 1.06 billion in 2035, when it reaches 17.9% of the market. Delta Electronics (Thailand), a supplier of data center power systems, reported 2025 sales of THB 198,514 million, up 20.3%, driven by demand for data center energy-management solutions (Source: Delta Electronics (Thailand) filing with the Stock Exchange of Thailand).

Industrial Estates Sell Land and Utilities to Data Centers

CGS expects data centers to account for 39.4% of new land sales at AMATA Corporation (AMATA) and WHA Corporation (WHA) in 2026. Edge data centers are a smaller pool, worth USD 49.10 million in 2025 and USD 371.93 million by 2035.

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

A conventional data center hall in Thailand costs about USD 6.37 million of infrastructure per MW of IT load in 2025, and an AI hall about USD 9.13 million per MW. These are DC Market Insights estimates, excluding land and servers.

Infrastructure spend per MW (USD million)	2020	2025	2030	2035
Conventional hall	6.00	6.37	6.76	7.18
AI hall	9.60	9.13	8.68	8.26
AI share of new capacity	2%	24%	52%	59%

The two lines converge. Conventional cost per MW rises about 1.2% a year as redundancy and fire-safety requirements rise, while AI cost per MW falls about 1.0% a year as liquid cooling and large UPS blocks are standardized. BOI-reported values give a check: the six projects approved in May and June 2025 imply about THB 156 million of total investment per MW, Skyline’s 200 MW campus about THB 230 million per MW and True IDC’s 250 MW EEC campus about THB 308 million per MW (DC Market Insights calculation from the reported values); these totals include land and buildings.

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

Four sets of rules decide how Thai data centers are built: BOI incentive conditions, the ERC power framework, data protection and cybersecurity rules, and international infrastructure standards.

BOI incentive tiers. The BOI offers two data center categories: the higher tier requires a PUE not exceeding 1.3, and ISO/IEC 27001 certification is a binding precondition for exercising the corporate income tax exemption. Recently approved projects also had to meet PUE standards and water management measures.

ERC direct PPA framework. The ERC draft rules for direct PPAs require new data centers to hold BOI promotion, run at least 50 MW of IT baseload per building, submit a ten-year energy plan and buy 100% renewable energy. The Ministry of Energy targets at least 50% renewable energy by 2037.

Data protection and cybersecurity. Operators must comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), Bank of Thailand cloud-outsourcing rules for financial institutions and National Cyber Security Committee standards for critical infrastructure.

ANSI/TIA-942-C. The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) published TIA-942-C in May 2024; it specifies infrastructure requirements for data centers and computer rooms, including single-tenant enterprise and multi-tenant data centers.

Market Segmentation: Which Segment Leads the Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market?

Electrical infrastructure leads the Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market with 41.0% of 2025 value, colocation leads data center types with 51.5%, and Tier III leads tiers with 63.4%. Among infrastructure types, mechanical infrastructure is the fastest-growing segment at 19.25% a year, against 18.62% for electrical, because AI halls in a tropical climate spend a larger share of their budget on cooling.

By Infrastructure Type: Electrical Infrastructure Leads with 41.0%

Infrastructure type	2025 (USD billion)	Share 2025	2035 (USD billion)	CAGR 2025-2035
Electrical Infrastructure	0.45	41.0%	2.47	18.62%
Mechanical Infrastructure	0.30	27.3%	1.74	19.25%
Civil / Structural & Architectural	0.21	18.9%	0.92	16.17%
IT & Network Infrastructure	0.14	12.7%	0.78	18.79%

Electrical infrastructure, worth USD 447.35 million in 2025, scales directly with MW. Civil, structural and architectural works lose share as more of the build moves into factory-made modules.

By Data Center Type: Colocation Leads with 51.5%

Data center type	2025 (USD billion)	Share 2025	2035 (USD billion)	CAGR 2025-2035
Colocation	0.56	51.5%	2.88	17.73%
Hyperscale	0.34	31.2%	2.30	21.03%
Enterprise	0.14	12.8%	0.36	9.94%
Edge	0.05	4.5%	0.37	22.44%

Colocation projects account for USD 561.90 million of 2025 spending and lead because DC Market Insights classifies most BOI-approved projects with named developers, such as Bridge Data Centres, Digital Edge and NextGen Data Center, as colocation builds. Edge data centers grow fastest at 22.44% a year from a small base, and enterprise data centers grow slowest at 9.94%.

By Delivery Model: EPC and Design-Build Lead with 47.4%

Delivery model	2025 (USD billion)	Share 2025	2035 (USD billion)	CAGR 2025-2035
EPC and Design-Build	0.52	47.4%	2.21	15.63%
Turnkey	0.28	25.9%	1.19	15.52%
Modular and Prefabricated	0.14	12.9%	1.02	21.84%
Construction Management	0.08	7.1%	0.42	18.59%
Retrofit and Upgrade	0.07	6.7%	1.06	30.64%

Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and design-build contracts lead because 100 MW campuses are procured as single packages. Retrofit and upgrade is the fastest-growing delivery model at 30.64% a year as the installed base grows more than tenfold by 2035.

By Tier Type: Tier III Leads with 63.4%

Tier III designs are worth USD 691.74 million in 2025 and USD 3.53 billion by 2035 (17.70% a year). Tier IV, at USD 269.50 million (24.7%), grows faster at 22.09% a year because hyperscale and financial-services tenants specify fault-tolerant power and cooling paths.

EEC Industrial Estates: What Is Thailand’s EEC Data Centre Demand and Supply in 2025?

EEC industrial estates account for USD 356.78 million of 2025 data center infrastructure spending, 32.7% of the national total by DC Market Insights estimates, rising to USD 3.11 billion in 2035 as the EEC overtakes Bangkok before 2030.

Supply. The named EEC pipeline is led by industrial estate campuses: True IDC’s 250 MW AI hyperscale campus, Bridge Data Centres’ 134 MW project in Chonburi, Digital Edge’s 100 MW BKK campus in Chonburi, Skyline’s 200 MW project in Chachoengsao, an 80 MW project at Amata City Chonburi linked to ZDATA, whose subsidiary Vistas Technology won BOI approval for 80 MW, and the 300 MW Haoyang Data Center at WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 4 with an investment value of more than THB 72,670 million.

Demand. CGS International Securities expects EEC data center capacity to reach 2.7 GW by 2030, and electricity plans for the corridor accommodate about 3,800 MW. DC Market Insights is more conservative: its national model completes about 1,890 MW between 2026 and 2030, with the EEC taking the largest share of new builds. Grid and water supply, not tenant demand, set the pace.

DC Exclusive: The EEC vs Bangkok Build-Cost Matrix

At USD 261.74 million in 2025, electrical infrastructure in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region is the single largest cell of the matrix and 24.0% of all Thai data center infrastructure spending.

2025, USD billion	Electrical	Mechanical	Civil and Architectural	IT and Network	Total
Bangkok Metropolitan Region	0.26	0.17	0.11	0.10	0.64
Eastern Economic Corridor	0.15	0.10	0.08	0.03	0.36
Other Central and Eastern Provinces	0.02	0.02	0.01	0.01	0.06
North, Northeast and South	0.02	0.01	0.01	0.01	0.04
Total	0.45	0.30	0.21	0.14	1.09

Bangkok spends 15.2% of its infrastructure budget on IT and network infrastructure, against 8.5% in the EEC, because Bangkok halls are carrier-dense colocation and interconnection sites. The EEC spends 21.9% on civil, structural and architectural works against 17.0% in Bangkok, because its campuses are greenfield builds on industrial estate land.

The matrix is a DC Market Insights model, not a project count. It is built from 68 inputs: 34 capacity cohorts (17 years of conventional and AI completions), 2 cost-per-MW curves, 1 refresh rate, 12 infrastructure-mix weights, 16 regional cost weights and 3 BOI project cost ratios used as a cross-check. The model and its assumptions are explained on our research methodology page.

Regional Insights: Which Region Leads the Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market?

The Bangkok Metropolitan Region leads with 58.3% of 2025 value. In the Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market, the Eastern Economic Corridor is the fastest-growing region at 24.18% a year because the 100 MW and larger campuses need industrial estate land, substations and water that Bangkok cannot supply.

Bangkok Metropolitan Region Leads with 58.3% Share

The Bangkok Metropolitan Region, including Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and Samut Prakan, is worth USD 636.10 million in 2025 and USD 2.08 billion by 2035, a CAGR of 12.57%. Bangkok carrier-neutral colocation capacity was about 105 MW in 2024; in the first half of 2025, Bangkok under-construction capacity rose from 46 MW to 169 MW and vacancy fell from 24% to 16%, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s first-half 2025 data centre update. The May 2026 approvals added TikTok’s data storage and processing expansion in Bangkok, Samut Prakan and Chachoengsao.

Eastern Economic Corridor Holds 32.7% Share

The EEC (Chonburi, Rayong and Chachoengsao) is worth USD 356.78 million in 2025 and USD 3.11 billion by 2035, growing 24.18% a year and overtaking Bangkok in the 2028 to 2029 build wave.

Other Central and Eastern Provinces Hold 5.2% Share

Provinces next to the corridor, such as Prachin Buri, Saraburi and Ayutthaya, are worth USD 56.74 million in 2025 and USD 478.19 million by 2035, a CAGR of 23.76%, as developers look for land and grid capacity beyond the EEC; community opposition in Prachin Buri is the main risk to that forecast.

North, Northeast and South Hold 3.8% Share

The rest of Thailand, led by Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen and the southern provinces, is worth USD 41.46 million in 2025 and USD 236.15 million by 2035, a CAGR of 19.00%, mainly from edge and enterprise rooms.

Forecast Scenarios: How Could the 2035 Forecast Change?

The Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market reaches USD 5.90 billion by 2035 in the base case, with a range of USD 4.24 billion to USD 7.22 billion across the low and high scenarios.

Scenario	Assumption from 2026	2035 (USD billion)	CAGR 2025-2035
Low	Completions 28% below base; AI share of new capacity 15% lower	4.24	14.55%
Base	Completions rise to 600 MW a year; AI share reaches 59%	5.90	18.39%
High	Completions 22% above base; AI share 10% higher	7.22	20.80%

The low case is what grid and water limits in the EEC look like: approved projects slip and fewer AI halls are built. The high case assumes direct PPA quotas and transmission upgrades keep pace with the pipeline.

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

DC Market Insights built this market bottom-up from 17 annual completion cohorts (2020 to 2036), each split into conventional and AI halls and priced with an infrastructure cost per MW: USD 6.37 million for conventional and USD 9.13 million for AI halls in 2025. Spend is recognized 60% in the year before completion and 40% in the year of completion. Retrofit and upgrade spending was added at 3.2% of the blended cost per MW on the installed base, which starts from about 350 MW in 2024. The total was split by 4 infrastructure types, 4 data center types, 5 delivery models, 3 tier groups and 4 sub-regions, and every split sums to the market total. The result was checked top-down against BOI-reported project values per MW (THB 156 million for the six projects approved in May and June 2025, THB 230 million for Skyline and THB 308 million for True IDC, including land and buildings) and against the 2.5 GW announced pipeline.
