Singapore ranks third in global data centre market: report

The market slid one place from last year.

Singapore ranked as the third leading data centre market globally, down one place from last year, Cushman & Wakefield reported.

In its Global Data Centre Market Comparison report, Cushman & Wakefield found that Singapore registered strong performances across various categories, such as low vacancy rate, low environmental risk, and its status as a smart city.

Singapore and Hong Kong are the only Asian markets to make the top ten. The other markets are all based in the United States.

In the Asia-Pacific region, Singapore topped the list, followed by Hong Kong in second place. Sydney and Seoul tied for the third place.

“We are seeing significant investment and interest in Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, Hyderabad, Johor and Manila and we expect this to continue, along with interest in other primary and secondary markets in the region,” Cushman & Wakefield’s Head of Data Centre Advisory Team, Asia Pacific, Vivek Dahiya said.

“Data centres are a rapidly evolving asset class as evidenced by this report: last year, Portland ranked 10th. This year it tied for first. We expect such strong movements to continue in the years to come as the sector evolves and matures.”

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
