Malaysia Data Center Market to Witness $3.97 Billion Investment Opportunities by 2029, Get Insights on 34 Existing Data Centers and 33 Upcoming Facilities across Malaysia - Arizton
CHICAGO, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Arizton's latest research report, the Malaysia data center market is growing at a CAGR of 13.92% during the forecast period.
Over the next few years, Malaysia is poised to witness significant growth in data center investments, driven by the influx of operators like AirTrunk, Equinix, Princeton Digital Group, and other leading companies. Key hubs like Cyberjaya, Kuala Lumpur, and Johor Bahru are expected to see heightened activity, hosting most of the country's data centers.
The wholesale colocation sector is projected to experience a revenue surge fueled by major cloud players like Microsoft, Google, and AWS. These companies have unveiled plans to establish dedicated cloud regions within Malaysia, with expected timelines for deployment within the next one to two years. This trend underscores Malaysia's growing importance as a regional hub for data infrastructure and cloud services.
Malaysia is among the top expensive markets globally for developing data centers. Malaysia's data center construction cost in 2023 stood at about $8.5-$10 million per MW, making it the costliest market in the APAC region after Singapore and Jakarta.
Investment Opportunities in the Malaysia Data Center Market
In November 2023, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres announced its plans to develop a new data center campus in Johor. The construction of the first building is likely to begin soon and become operational by 2025. The company formed a joint venture with Basis Bay to develop a new data center campus with two buildings, Cyberjaya DC.2 and STT Kuala Lumpur 1 in Cyberjaya, Selangor.
In October 2023, EDGNEX Data Centres by DAMAC announced its plans to enter the APAC market for the first time; the company is considering a facility in Cyberjaya, Selangor. The expected investment can cross the $52 million mark.
In October 2023, Infinaxis Data Centre Holdings, the joint venture between Gaw Capital Partners and A3 Capital, announced the construction of its first data center facility in Cyberjaya. The facility will have 10 data halls and will likely be operational by Q2 2025.
In September 2023, EdgeConneX announced its plans to expand its footprint in Malaysia with the development of three data centers sites across Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, and Cyberjaya. The company plans to develop data centers in partnership with Cyberview.
According to IRENA, in 2022, hydroenergy accounted for around 69% of the renewable energy capacity in Malaysia, followed by solar energy, which contributed about 21%, along with a 10% contribution by bioenergy.
Malaysia aims to achieve the target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. To make this goal a reality, WWF-Malaysia is partnering with Boston Consulting Group to develop an independent joint study on the country's optimal net zero pathway.
The government of Malaysia has established a green tariff scheme to support its carbon-neutrality target. Under the scheme, subscribers can get electricity from solar or hydro sources instead of fossil fuel sources.
Mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and partnerships are key strategies employed by operators to expand their portfolios and global footprint. For example:
In December 2023, Chindata Group merged with BCPE Chivalry Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of BCPE Chivalry Bidco, completing its transition to a private company from a public one.
November 2023 saw ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, in a joint venture with Basis Bay, announcing plans to develop a new data center campus with two buildings in Cyberjaya, Selangor.
A3 Capital and Gaw Capital Partners formed a joint venture in February 2023 to establish Infinaxis Data Centre Holdings to develop and operate data centers across Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
MN Holdings, an engineering services and solutions company, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in April 2023 with Shanghai DC-Science, outlining an investment of approximately $600 million to develop a data center site at the Sedenak Tech Park, Johor.
