Investments in digital infrastructure in Thailand totalled $1.48 billion in 2024 and are projected by Mordor Intelligence to expand by an average 18% per year until 2030. Power capacity is expected to surge 30% annually from 0.77GW to 2.93GW, says Mr Kasem.

Thailand's investments in data centres are projected to reach US$4.31 billion by 2030, representing average annual growth of 18% from 2024 and achieving total capacity of 2.93 gigawatts, helped by strong government support and solid demand, says CGS International Securities.
