CBRE’s latest report explores the latest Asia Pacific Data Centre supply, demand and investment figures for 2022, and outlines key trends to watch for 2023.

Key highlights include:

• New supply in Asia Pacific Tier 1 data centre markets (Greater Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore and Hong Kong SAR) fell from 2021’s record-breaking 399MW to 263MW in 2022.
• Regional data centre vacancy fell to 12.4% on the back of solid demand, while leasing demand remained robust and continued to be driven by upgrading demand and ongoing expansion by hyperscalers.
• CBRE expects 765MW of new data centre stock – representing around one-third of total planned capacity – to be delivered by 2025.
• Investment demand weakened in 2022 owing to the rapid increase in financing costs and growing fears of a recession. Asia Pacific direct data centre investment turnover fell to US$1.4 billion, the lowest annual total since 2019.
• CBRE has observed signs of improvement in the investment market in recent months, with nearly US$1.7 billion of new data centre funds raised in Q1 2023. Investment demand will be increasingly focused on greenfield development of prime assets, such as data centres with higher floor loading and/or sustainability certification.
