Report Overview
The global data center colocation market size was valued at USD 75.92 Billion in 2025. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.50% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 294.04 Billion by 2035. A key accelerator of the market growth is the rapid surge in hyperscale-led cloud and AI deployments, which are reshaping the industry’s infrastructure economics and expansion priorities.
Major cloud service providers are moving away from single scattered buildings and are favoring large, multi-phase campuses that feature scalable power, liquid-ready cooling, and carrier-neutral connectivity. Consequently, this transformation forces operators in the data center colocation market to buy large parcels of land, gain long-term power commitments, and build multi-building campuses that have phased capacity of 200 MW or more. Citing an instance, Google committed USD 2 billion for cloud and data-centre investment in Malaysia in May 2024. Similarly, in December 2024, EdgeConneX announced plans to strategically acquire land in Jakarta, a 45,000 sqm land purchase to expand its campus to over 200 MW.
As hyperscalers set up AI clusters, GPU farms, and high-density cloud regions, colocation operators enjoy the benefits of a strong pre-leasing pipeline, stable occupancy, and the gain revenues for several years ahead. So, the growth of hyperscalers and campus land banking are now closely linked, thereby reinforcing the development of the global data center colocation market.
