Growing cloud consumption is fueling a boom in data center Asia Pacific, especially India, Indonesia, the Philippines and, most recently, Vietnam. All of these markets share similar demographic profiles, with large, young populations. Notably, the datacenter moratorium in Singapore further accelerated plans by cloud players to deploy workloads locally in these emerging markets. The cloud players have so far been the most bullish on Indonesia as Amazon Web Services Inc., Google LLC, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Holdings Ltd.'s Tencent Cloud have launched cloud regions in the country, while Microsoft Corp. is in the middle of constructing its datacenters in Jakarta. Additionally, Meta Platforms Inc. and Google have announced their investment in a subsea cable that will connect Indonesia and the Philippines to North America, increasing the potential of these emerging markets across Southeast Asia.

Meanwhile, with the ASEAN countries enacting the Personal Data Protection Act, other emerging markets started to draw the attention of cloud providers and datacenter providers, such as Vietnam. Amazon.com Inc., which currently holds the largest market share in cloud, has expanded its cooperation with local datacenter providers, and others are expected to follow.
