ASEAN Data Centre: Ride the multi-year data centre wave

In the ever growing field of the data center industry, we speak with Maybank’s TMT specialist Hussaini Saifee, who expects data centre demand in ASEAN to increase at 20% CAGR till 2028 with the total addressable market estimated at USD11b/yr. Structural drivers include: 1) Under penetration: ASEAN supply is 55-70% below that of US, CN, KR & JP; 2) AI: helps ASEAN companies in the global supply chain; 3) ASEAN as a global DC hub: geopolitics, conducive upstream supply & favourable unit economics. Additionally, Hussaini believes the risk of over-supply is overhyped: build commitment is just 40% of announcements. This podcast also highlights key opportunities & stock picks across entire DC value chain.
