Full analysis
The Thailand Data Center Market is valued at USD 3.26 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 18.20 billion by 2035, up from USD 1.95 billion in 2025, a CAGR of 25.05% from 2025 to 2035 (DC Market Insights estimate). The jump of 67.3% in 2026 is a construction effect, not a demand forecast: the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) received THB 728 billion of data center applications from 36 projects in 2025, according to the BOI’s 2025 investment release, and about 170 MW of those halls complete in 2026, against 95 MW in 2025. The Thailand Data Center Market covers spend inside Thai data centers on IT infrastructure, power, cooling and construction; the 2025 receipt: 95 MW completed at USD 6.37 million per MW in conventional halls and USD 9.13 million per MW in AI halls, plus refresh of the existing base, gives USD 1.09 billion of facility spend; IT fit-out of about 63 MW of newly occupied halls adds USD 326.54 million and IT refresh on an occupied base of about 314 MW adds USD 529.54 million. Hyperscale and cloud halls grow fastest, at 29.95% a year, because Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google already run Thai cloud regions, and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) grows fastest among regions, at 31.88% a year, because six named campuses of 100 MW or more sit in Chonburi and Chachoengsao.

The Thailand Data Center Market grew at 31.91% a year between 2020 and 2025, and 2025 added 56.9% over 2024 in the DC Market Insights model as the AWS cloud region opened and newly approved campuses moved into construction. After the 2026-2027 peak, growth settles below 10% a year by 2035.
Live capacity was approximately 350 MW nationally in 2024, and the announced pipeline reaches 2.87 GW, approximately 2.5 GW of IT load, according to a Mondaq legal briefing. The model completes 1,900 MW between 2026 and 2030, taking built capacity to about 2,347 MW at the end of 2030 and 5,147 MW at the end of 2035.

Market Scope: Where Does Thai Data Center Spend End and Colocation or Cloud Revenue Begin?
The Thailand Data Center Market is the annual spend on building, equipping and refreshing data centers located in Thailand, valued in current US dollars, with 2025 as the base year and forecasts to 2035. DC Market Insights sizes it at USD 1.95 billion in 2025.
Included. IT infrastructure (servers, storage, network equipment, racks and cabling), power solutions (switchgear, transformers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, batteries and generators), cooling systems (chillers, air handlers and liquid cooling) and general construction (shell, fit-out, fire protection and security). All facility types are counted, including edge and modular units.
Excluded. Land, utility-side grid and renewable generation assets, subsea cables and landing stations, software licences, colocation and cloud service revenues, electricity and operating costs.
How the segments fit together. The facility part of the market (power, cooling, construction and IT network infrastructure) equals the DC Market Insights Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market, and IT equipment fit-out and refresh complete the total. Every split re-cuts the same total. The boundary with the global Data Center Market report is geographic: this report counts only halls located in Thailand (about 0.3% of global spend in 2025, DC Market Insights estimate); AI halls are detailed in the Thailand AI Data Center Market report.
Market Drivers: Why Are Investors Filing THB 728 Billion of Thai Data Center Applications?
BOI applications worth THB 728 billion in 2025, hyperscale cloud regions and state cloud policy drive the Thailand Data Center Market, which DC Market Insights expects to grow 67.3% in 2026.
BOI Applications of THB 728 Billion in 2025 Turn into Construction
The BOI said the data center business alone attracted THB 521.2 billion from 28 projects in the first half of 2025, and the board approved six projects worth THB 115.4 billion (USD 3.57 billion) with a combined IT load of about 740 MW in May and June 2025. In November 2025 it approved four more projects worth a combined THB 100 billion (USD 3.1 billion), according to the BOI’s November 2025 approval release, and its January 2026 board meeting approved seven more worth about THB 96 billion (about USD 3.1 billion), according to a Fangda Partners briefing, including True IDC, GSA Data Center and Stellar DC. Colocation holds 46.2% of 2025 value in the DC Market Insights model.
Two Live Hyperscale Cloud Regions, and a Third Planned, Anchor Demand
According to an Amazon press release, AWS launched its Asia Pacific (Thailand) Region in January 2025 with three Availability Zones and plans to invest more than USD 5 billion in Thailand. Google launched its Bangkok cloud region with three zones in January 2026 as a key milestone in its USD 1 billion investment in Thailand’s digital infrastructure, which Google said in September 2024 would include a data center in Chonburi. Microsoft has said True IDC, part of CP Group, will host its planned Thai cloud region in a facility scalable up to 60 MW. Hyperscale and cloud data centers hold 30.5% of 2025 value and grow 29.95% a year by DC Market Insights estimates.
Cloud First Policy Lifts State Cloud Budgets Five-Fold
The fiscal 2025 budget for state cloud services procurement was set at THB 1 billion, up from THB 200 million in 2024, under the government’s Cloud First policy, the Bangkok Post reported. Government and public sector users account for USD 229.76 million of 2025 data center spending in the DC Market Insights model, 11.8% of the total.
Market Trends: How Are Thai Data Center Builds Changing in Size and Power Supply?
Larger campuses, AI halls and a shift of new builds to the EEC are reshaping the Thailand Data Center Market: DC Market Insights estimates the AI share of new capacity rises from 24% in 2025 to 50% in 2035.
Campus Bids Rise from 12-20 MW to 100 MW
A Siemens executive told Nation Thailand that most bids were previously in the 12-20 MW range and that proposals are now hitting 100 MW. BOI approvals bear this out: according to the BOI, Skyline Data Center and Cloud Services was approved for a THB 46 billion project with an IT load of 200 MW in Chachoengsao, and Bridge Data Centres for a THB 24.6 billion project with an IT load of 134 MW in Chonburi, both in May 2026. Tier IV facilities grow 29.51% a year in the DC Market Insights model, the fastest tier, as large campuses are designed for hyperscale tenants.
AI Halls Move from Pilot to Hyperscale
According to True IDC, it launched Thailand’s first AI hyperscale data center in Bangkok in May 2025, with over 20 megawatts of power capacity to support GPU (graphics processing unit) workloads, and in April 2026 broke ground on a 250 MW AI hyperscale data center in the EEC at a cost of THB 77 billion. AI halls carry about USD 14.00 million of IT fit-out per MW in the DC Market Insights model, against USD 3.60 million in conventional halls, which is why IT infrastructure grows 29.38% a year.
Green Power Contracts Become Part of the Build
Digital Edge and B.Grimm Power said their joint venture secured a USD 880 million green loan for the 100 MW BKK Data Center Campus in Chonburi, and NTT said it signed a 100 MW power purchase agreement (PPA) with B.Grimm Power in January 2026 for its Bangkok 4 campus. The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has published a draft framework for direct renewable PPAs that requires data centers to be BOI-promoted, to have an IT baseload of at least 50 MW per building and to commit 100 percent of the energy they procure from renewable energy, according to Data Center Dynamics.
EEC Industrial Estates: What Are Data Center Demand and Supply in 2025?
The Eastern Economic Corridor had about 81 MW of data center IT load live at the end of 2025 and about 1,100 MW of new supply due between 2026 and 2030, by DC Market Insights estimates, against long-term demand that the EEC Office says could exceed 10,000 MW.
Supply. The named EEC projects alone add about 1,084 MW: the Haoyang Data Center at WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 4 (300 MW IT load, more than THB 72,670 million), True IDC’s EEC campus (250 MW), Skyline in Chachoengsao (200 MW), Bridge Data Centres in Chonburi (134 MW), the Digital Edge and B.Grimm Power BKK campus in Chonburi (100 MW) and NTT’s Bangkok 4 campus in Chonburi (100 MW, energization expected in the second quarter of 2027). The DC Market Insights model completes 1,100 MW in the EEC between 2026 and 2030, 57.9% of national completions in that period.
Demand. The EEC Office estimates that long-term electricity demand from data centers could exceed 10,000 MW, while the current accommodation plan stands at around 3,800 MW, according to MGR Online in August 2026.
Market Challenges: Can the EEC Grid and Water Supply Keep Up With Thai Data Center Demand?
Power and water for campuses of 100 MW and more, local opposition to EEC expansion and the gap between applications and completed halls are the main constraints DC Market Insights sees on a market growing 25.05% a year.
EEC Power Plans Cover About 3,800 MW of Demand That Could Exceed 10,000 MW
Ember forecasts Thailand’s electricity demand for data centers at 6 TWh by 2030 and 10 TWh by 2037, 2.2 per cent of national demand in 2025-2027, according to the energy think tank. The Energy Regulatory Commission said it set the electricity charge at THB 3.95 per unit for May to August 2026, which keeps energy cost a factor in site selection.
Communities Push Back on EEC Expansion
The Prachin Buri People’s Network has gathered more than 11,207 signatures opposing the EEC expansion, MGR Online reported, amid concerns over how water and electricity will be shared between industry, including data centers, and local communities. DC Market Insights treats slower permitting outside existing industrial estates as a downside risk in its low scenario.
Market Opportunities: Which Thai Data Center Suppliers Gain Most From the 2026-2035 Build?
Server, storage and power-equipment suppliers gain most from the Thai build: DC Market Insights estimates that IT infrastructure rises from 51.1% of the Thailand Data Center Market in 2025 to 71.8% in 2035, while power solutions hold 13.6% of 2035 spend.
Server and Storage Fit-Out for Platform Tenants
According to the BOI, it approved a TikTok System (Thailand) project valued at THB 842 billion, or approximately USD 25 billion, in May 2026, to install additional servers and expand data storage and processing infrastructure across Bangkok, Samut Prakan and Chachoengsao Province. Set against the DC Market Insights estimate of cumulative IT equipment spend in Thailand in 2026-2035, USD 67.16 billion, that one project would equal about 37%.
Local Power Electronics Suppliers Grow with the Build
Delta Electronics (Thailand) reported 2025 consolidated sales of THB 198,514 million, a rise of 20.3%, driven by demand for data-center energy-management solutions. Power solutions grow 18.62% a year in the DC Market Insights model, slower than IT because switchgear and UPS are bought once per hall while servers are refreshed every four to five years.
Pricing: What Does One Megawatt of Thai Data Center Capacity Cost to Build and Fit Out?
A conventional data center hall in Thailand costs about USD 6.37 million of facility spend per MW of IT load in 2025, and an AI hall about USD 9.13 million per MW, before IT equipment. These are DC Market Insights estimates, excluding land.
| Spend per MW (USD million) | 2025 | 2030 | 2035 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IT fit-out, conventional hall | 3.60 | 3.78 | 3.98 |
| IT fit-out, AI hall | 14.00 | 13.31 | 12.66 |
| IT refresh per MW-year, conventional | 1.85 | 1.90 | 1.94 |
| IT refresh per MW-year, AI | 2.80 | 2.73 | 2.66 |
| AI share of new capacity | 24% | 45% | 50% |
All-in, a conventional hall therefore costs about USD 9.97 million per MW in 2025 and an AI hall about USD 23.13 million per MW. Announced BOI project values cross-check the facility part at USD 4.82 million per MW for the six May-June 2025 approvals, USD 5.57 million for Bridge Data Centres, USD 7.00 million for Skyline and USD 9.44 million for True IDC’s EEC campus (DC Market Insights calculations; the values can include land and exclude tenant IT).
Regulation: Which BOI, Data Protection and Energy Rules Must Thai Data Center Builders Meet?
Four sets of rules shape data centers in Thailand: BOI promotion conditions, the Personal Data Protection Act, sector rules for banks and critical infrastructure, and energy regulation; together they decide where the USD 3.26 billion of 2026 spend is built.
BOI promotion conditions. The BOI states that conditions for data center promotion include requirements related to data center construction and service standards, the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), and efficient water management measures. Its high-efficiency incentive tier, a utilization operating efficiency test, requires a PUE not exceeding 1.3, and ISO/IEC 27001 certification is required before a company exercises its corporate income tax (CIT) exemption, according to Mondaq. BOI Notification Sor. 9/2568 of 14 November 2025 split the incentives into EEC and non-EEC tiers and moved EEC data centers down one activity group because of grid bottlenecks, according to a Fangda Partners briefing, so Thai licensing localization requirements now differ by site, and national subnational regulatory approvals (BOI, ERC and provincial permits) both shape the timetable: a campus outside the EEC can earn the longer tax holiday.
Personal Data Protection Act. Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) drives demand for in-country cloud infrastructure, according to Mondaq.
Banks and critical infrastructure. Mondaq also lists Bank of Thailand (BOT) cloud-outsourcing rules for regulated financial institutions and National Cyber Security Committee (NCSC) standards for critical information infrastructure. Banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) users account for USD 297.92 million of 2025 spending in the DC Market Insights model.
Energy regulation. The ERC’s direct renewable PPA framework was still a draft as of October 2025, and direct PPA pilot projects targeting 2,000 MW were being evaluated for safety in June 2025, according to the Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO), as reported by Nation Thailand. On 15 July 2026 the National Energy Policy Council (NEPC) approved lifting restrictions on renewable energy trading with third-party grid access, the government spokesperson said, and the ERC reopened public consultation on the framework.
Market Segmentation: Which Segment Carries the Most Thai Data Center Spend by Component, Facility Type and Tier?
Information technology (IT) infrastructure leads the Thailand Data Center Market with 51.1% of 2025 value, colocation leads data center types with 46.2%, and Tier III leads tiers with 64.2%. Hyperscale and cloud is the fastest-growing segment at 29.95% a year, against 24.01% for colocation, because cloud regions and AI campuses are built and fitted out at a scale no Thai enterprise builds.
By Component: IT Infrastructure Leads with 51.1%
| Component | 2025 (USD billion) | Share 2025 | 2035 (USD billion) | CAGR 2025-2035 |

| Healthcare | 0.08 | 4.1% | 0.82 | 26.22% |
| Others | 0.25 | 12.8% | 1.91 | 22.59% |
IT and telecom, including cloud providers, digital platforms and telecom operators, spends USD 926.85 million in 2025.
By Tier Standard: Tier III Leads with 64.2%
Tier III facilities are worth USD 1.25 billion in 2025 and USD 10.76 billion by 2035, growing 24.01% a year. Tier IV, at USD 473.16 million (24.3%), grows fastest at 29.51% a year, while Tier I and II rooms, at USD 223.92 million (11.5%), grow 17.93% a year as enterprise server rooms move into colocation.
DC Exclusive: The Bangkok vs EEC Spend Matrix, 71 Inputs
At USD 695.30 million in 2025, IT infrastructure in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region is the single largest cell of the matrix and 35.7% of all Thai data center spending.
| 2025, USD million | IT Infrastructure | Power Solutions | Cooling Systems | General Construction | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bangkok Metropolitan Region | 695.30 | 261.74 | 169.36 | 108.09 | 1,234.49 |
| Eastern Economic Corridor | 216.81 | 145.55 | 102.91 | 78.14 | 543.41 |
| Other Central and Eastern Provinces | 45.82 | 23.56 | 15.71 | 11.89 | 96.98 |
| North, Northeast and South | 36.99 | 16.50 | 10.42 | 8.37 | 72.28 |
| Total | 994.92 | 447.35 | 298.40 | 206.49 | 1,947.16 |
Bangkok spends 56.3% of its data center budget on IT infrastructure because its halls are occupied and refresh is the main spend. The EEC spends 60.1% on power, cooling and construction because its campuses are greenfield builds on industrial estates; that mix flips as EEC halls fill, and by 2035 the EEC is the larger market.
The matrix is a DC Market Insights model, not a project count. It is built from 71 inputs: 38 capacity cohort values (19 years of completions and AI shares), 3 occupancy-ramp weights, 6 cost and refresh curves, 16 regional component weights for facility spend, 4 regional weights for IT equipment and 4 project cost ratios used as a cross-check. The method is explained on our research methodology page.
Regional Insights: Is Bangkok or the Eastern Economic Corridor the Bigger Thai Data Center Market?
The Bangkok Metropolitan Region leads with 63.4% of 2025 value. In the Thailand Data Center Market, the Eastern Economic Corridor is the fastest-growing region at 31.88% a year because many of the largest new campuses are planned in Chonburi, Chachoengsao and Rayong.

- In January 2026, the BOI board approved seven data center projects worth about THB 96 billion, including True IDC, GSA Data Center and Stellar DC (Source: Fangda Partners briefing on BOI approvals).
- In April 2026, True IDC broke ground on a 250 MW AI hyperscale data center in the EEC at a cost of THB 77 billion (Source: True IDC announcement).
- In May 2026, the BOI approved a TikTok project valued at THB 842 billion and data center projects by Skyline (200 MW) and Bridge Data Centres (134 MW) (Source: BOI).
- In May 2026, Gorilla Technology announced a 200 MW campus in Korat and Empyrion Digital broke ground on a 20 MW facility in Bang Na (Source: company press releases).
- In July 2026, the NEPC approved lifting renewable energy trading restrictions with third-party grid access, and NTT broke ground on its 100 MW Bangkok 4 campus in Chonburi (Source: government spokesperson; NTT announcement).

Methodology: How Did DC Market Insights Build the Thai Model From 19 Capacity Cohorts?
DC Market Insights built the Thailand Data Center Market bottom-up from 19 annual completion cohorts (2017 to 2035), each split into conventional and AI halls, starting from about 352 MW of IT load at the end of 2024 and adding 95 MW in 2025, 170 MW in 2026 and 600 MW in 2035. Facility spend per MW comes from the Thailand Data Center Infrastructure Market model, so both reports share one capacity base. IT spend adds fit-out as halls fill (30%, 35% and 20% of a cohort in its first three years, to 85% occupancy) at USD 3.60 million per MW conventional and USD 14.00 million per MW AI, plus refresh of USD 1.85 million per MW a year on the occupied conventional base and USD 2.80 million on the occupied AI base. The total was split by 4 components, 4 data center types, 6 end-user groups, 3 tier groups and 4 regions, and every split sums to the market total. The result was checked top-down against BOI project values of USD 4.82-9.44 million per MW for the facility part and against the THB 842 billion TikTok server and storage project, which equals about 37% of the model’s USD 67.16 billion of IT equipment spend in 2026-2035. Limitations: standard assumptions on occupancy ramps and refresh cycles drive the 2030-2035 values, and the low and high cases replace a regression scenario sensitivity test by moving completions directly. The October 2026 revision checked 5 new dated events against the pipeline; none changed the base case.

USD 3.26 billion in 2026, up 67.3% from USD 1.95 billion in 2025, according to DC Market Insights estimates. The market is projected to reach USD 18.20 billion by 2035, a CAGR of 25.05% from 2025, as BOI-approved campuses are built and fitted out.
About 81 MW of IT load was live in the Eastern Economic Corridor at the end of 2025, with about 1,100 MW due in 2026-2030, by DC Market Insights estimates. The EEC Office says long-term data center power demand could exceed 10,000 MW against a plan of around 3,800 MW.
Approximately 350 MW of live capacity nationally in 2024, with a pipeline of 2.87 GW, according to Mondaq. DC Market Insights models about 2,347 MW built by the end of 2030 and 5,147 MW by the end of 2035.
IT infrastructure leads with 51.1% of 2025 value, and colocation leads data center types with 46.2%. Hyperscale and cloud is the fastest-growing segment at 29.95% a year, by DC Market Insights estimates.
63.4% of 2025 value sits in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region. The Eastern Economic Corridor grows fastest, at 31.88% a year, and reaches 47.5% of the market by 2035, by DC Market Insights estimates.
USD 6.37 million of facility spend per MW for a conventional hall and USD 9.13 million for an AI hall in 2025, by DC Market Insights estimates. With IT fit-out, the all-in cost is about USD 9.97 million and USD 23.13 million per MW.
68.4% of the 1,512 MW announced across eleven named projects sits with three sponsor groups: companies linked to DAMAC, Haoyang and True IDC. Other builders include Bridge Data Centres, NTT, Digital Edge with B.Grimm Power, Vistas Technology, Evolution Data Centres, Telehouse, Empyrion Digital and Gorilla Technology.
THB 728 billion, exceeding USD 23.1 billion, from 36 data center projects received by the Thailand Board of Investment in 2025. Approvals since then include seven projects worth about THB 96 billion in January 2026 and Skyline’s 200 MW and Bridge Data Centres’ 134 MW projects in May 2026.
50 MW of IT load per building is the threshold in the ERC’s draft direct PPA rules, which also require BOI promotion. On 15 July 2026 the NEPC approved lifting restrictions on renewable energy trading with third-party grid access, and the ERC reopened consultation on the framework.
One activity group lower for EEC data centers under BOI Notification Sor. 9/2568 of 14 November 2025, because of grid bottlenecks, according to a Fangda Partners briefing. A campus outside the EEC, such as Gorilla Technology’s planned 200 MW site in Korat, can earn a longer tax holiday.
