Singapore tops in APAC Data Centre Market Ranking

Globally, the country placed second.

Rankings released by Cushman & Wakefield placed Singapore at the top of its APAC Data Centre Marketing Ranking.

Criteria taken into account include market size, fiber connectivity and cloud availability. The Lion City’s pro-business policies also contributed to this position for the APAC region and a 2nd place finish globally. 

“Singapore is one of the tightest data centre markets globally with vacancy rates below 2%. Crippled supply due to the ongoing moratorium coupled with strong demand has driven up data centre prices since 2020. Current pricing is around $200-$400 kilowatt-per-hour/month for the few small availabilities,” said Brenda Ong, Executive Director, Logistics & Industrial at Cushman & Wakefield.

Factors that work against Singapore’s ranking, however, include an expected increase in data centre prices due to strong investor demand and limited market supply. 

Meanwhile, Hong Kong and Sydney followed suit at the second and third spots, respectively, with the latter rejoining the top 10 after missing out last year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
