Philippines Data Center - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2024 - 2029)
The Philippines Data Center Market size is estimated at 497.18 MW in 2024, and is expected to reach 954.22 MW by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 13.93% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Tier 3 data center accounted for majority share in terms of volume in 2023, Tier 4 is fastest growing through out the forecasted period
Growth in the tier 1 segment is expected to be stagnant due to the unreliability and longer downtimes of facilities. The IT load capacity of the tier 2 segment is expected to increase from 125.6 MW in 2021 to 172.6 MW by 2029 at a CAGR of 4.33%. These data centers are preferred mainly by small businesses due to the performance they offer at an affordable cost. However, a downtime of 22 hours annually, at times, makes companies reluctant and hesitant to opt for them.
The IT load capacity of the tier 3 segment of the data center market in the Philippines is anticipated to increase from 78.3 MW in 2021 to 489.3 MW by 2029 at a CAGR of 25.75%. These data centers offer an uptime of 99.98% with N+1 redundancies, and they only have around 1.6 hours of downtime in a year. These advantages have made them highly preferable by large businesses.
Currently, tier 3 data centers are highly prevalent in the region, as some facilities have upgraded their structures and services to the required standards. Operators prefer newly constructed facilities to be tier 3 and tier 4 ready.
The IT load capacity of the tier 4 segment of the data center market in the Philippines is expected to reach 70 MW by 2029. These data centers are expected to be operational in 2023 and are preferred due to their high reliability and lower downtime of around 26.3 minutes. Currently, the Philippines has no colocation facility with Tier 4 certification. However, ePLDT announced that its 11th data center in Santa Rosa would be tier 4 and would be launched by 2023.
Operators of new data centers prefer Tier 4 grade certifications for their infrastructure facilities due to the high reliability offered.
