Regional Focus: Global Data Center Investment Shifts Across High-Growth Markets
The data center market in Latin America is projected to attract $31.00 billion in cumulative investment, excluding IT infrastructure, between 2026 and 2031, led by Brazil, Chile, and Mexico, alongside other emerging investment destinations.
The APAC data center market by investments increased by around 31.99% in 2025 compared to 2024, with rapid AI adoption in China emerging as a key investment driver. Around 515 million people had adopted AI for daily operations as of June 2025, with adoption expected to reach 70% of the population by 2027 and over 90% by 2030.
The UK and Germany accounted for 19.59% and 13.74% of European data center market’s investment in 2025, respectively, with their shares expected to increase to 21.59% and 14.72% by 2031 as local and global operators continue investing.
Natural free cooling and access to hydropower, wind, and geothermal energy strengthen the Nordic region’s appeal for data center development. Sweden is expected to account for 44.70% of Nordic investment, supported by mature connectivity, strong digital adoption, and multiple global cloud regions.
The Israel–Iran conflict has increased physical and operational risks for digital infrastructure in the Middle East, with reported impacts on hyperscale facilities in the UAE and Bahrain, including AWS and Oracle sites. Missile and drone activity has contributed to power disruptions, fire damage, cooling failures, and cascading cloud-service outages.

Liquid Cooling Technology Gains Momentum for AI and HPC Workloads
The increasing demand for data processing and storage has led to a significant rise in the heat generated by IT equipment in data centers. Across the global data center market, liquid cooling is being adopted to address these heat challenges, with direct liquid cooling offering a PUE of 1.02–1.03 and accommodating racks exceeding 50 kW, particularly for AI and HPC workloads. The technology also improves water usage effectiveness and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This shift is particularly relevant in APAC, one of the leading technology hubs adopting advanced technologies such as AI, big data, and IoT. Governments across the region are implementing various initiatives to support the development of AI and digital services, increasing demand for AI-ready data centers. These facilities require advanced cooling technologies, including liquid cooling, to maintain efficient thermal management.
Global Data Center Capacity: Where Infrastructure and Investment Are Concentrating
The U.S. accounts for nearly 130 GW of upcoming data center power capacity, with more than 70% of the national project pipeline concentrated across nine states: Texas, Virginia, Illinois, Arizona, New Mexico, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, and Ohio.The global data center market comprises 4,240+ existing facilities, with APAC accounting for 900+ data centers across key markets including Japan, Australia, India, Malaysia, and South Korea.Digital Realty, Equinix, QTS Realty Trust, NTT DATA, and CyrusOne collectively account for approximately 25% of global IT capacity, reflecting the significant capacity held by leading global operators.
