"Malaysia Data Center Colocation Market Research Report by Arizton" Get Insights on 83 Existing Colocation Data Center Facilities across Malaysia According to Arizton's latest research report, the Malaysia data center colocation market to grow at a CAGR of 29.98% during the forecast period. Report Scope: Market Size - Colocation Revenue: USD 3.52 Billion (2030) CAGR - Colocation Revenue: 29.98% (2024-2030) Market Size - Utilized White Floor Area:14.56 Million Sq. Feet (2030) Market Size - Utilized Racks: 281.70 Thousand Units (2030) Market Size - Utilized It Power Capacity: 3,340 Mw (2030) Historic Year: 2021-2023 Base Year: 2024 Forecast Year: 2025-2030 Malaysia: A Growing Colocation Hub Backed by Digital Demand Malaysia is emerging as a key colocation destination in Southeast Asia, driven by spillover demand from Singapore and the rapid scale-up of operators expanding regional capacity. Cyberjaya remains the core hub, supported by strong investments from local and international players like AirTrunk, Bridge Data Centres, NTT, YTL Data Centers, and others. Continued adoption of AI, 5G rollout, and data localization requirements are boosting demand for reliable capacity. At the same time, Malaysia's push for renewable energy and national AI initiatives signals strong government backing for digital growth. While the introduction of new power tariffs and surcharges poses cost considerations for operators, Malaysia's strong fundamentals, from network connectivity improvements to a favorable investment climate, continue to reinforce its position as a high-potential market for colocation providers and investors looking to tap into Southeast Asia's expanding digital economy. Surging AI Workloads Fuel New Demand for High-Density, Green Data Centers in Malaysia The rapid adoption of AI across sectors such as manufacturing and healthcare is accelerating demand for AI-ready data center capacity in Malaysia. Over the next two to three years, this growth is expected to drive investments in advanced cooling systems, higher rack power density, and upgraded UPS and backup infrastructure to support high-performance computing workloads. Leading operators are already responding to this trend. In May 2024, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) announced the rollout of AI-ready facilities across six Southeast Asian markets, including Malaysia, with a combined capacity exceeding 500 MW (operational and under development). The new AI-optimized sites in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines are set to go live within the next two to three years, strengthening Malaysia's position as a key hub for scalable, high-density digital infrastructure in the region. Capacity Developments: Malaysia's Colocation Power Growth and New Deals Core & shell capacity: As of May 2025, Malaysia's colocation operators have added over 751 MW of total core & shell power capacity, with an installed capacity of ~637 MW and a strong utilization rate of ~85% (approx. 540 MW). Major energy deal: In December 2024, Bridge Data Centres signed an Electricity Supply Agreement with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) to secure 400 MW for its MY07 data center in Johor. Strategic joint venture: In October 2024, Mah Sing partnered with Bridge Data Centres to develop a new 200 MW data center outside Kuala Lumpur, expanding large-scale capacity in a key metro market. New data center park: Also in October 2024, FutureData secured Global Telecommunications as its first tenant for its Sarawak data center park, with an initial commitment of 17 MW out of the site's planned 500 MW. Construction begins in 2025. Liquid Cooling Innovations Strengthen Colocation Efficiency for Next-Gen Workloads As demand for high-density workloads and AI applications grows, operators are adopting advanced liquid cooling solutions to achieve higher efficiency and reliability than conventional air cooling. Newer liquid-based methods, including immersion and direct-to-chip cooling, enable precise, scalable thermal management with lower energy consumption and improved operational performance. Providers like Bridge Data Centres now offer versatile solutions, such as the X Cooling System Series, which combines air-cooled, water-cooled, cold plate, and immersion liquid cooling options to meet diverse capacity requirements, including emerging AI-driven use cases. These advancements position liquid cooling as a practical path for colocation providers to enhance sustainability, reduce operating costs, and deliver next-generation infrastructure for high-performance computing.

Regulators to the rescue for ASX and public markets
When Blackstone purchased data centre operator AirTrunk last year in a A$23.5 billion ($25.3b) mega deal, it was a triumphant exclamation mark on the rise of private markets, and a slap in the face for the ASX and public markets. Instead of retail investors having access to what would have been one

Billionaire pays about $20m for second pad in Crown Towers Sydney
Techie billionaire Robin Khuda and his wife Melea have bought another pad in Barangaroo's Crown Towers for between $20 million to $21 million, local sources say, in the latest addition to their burgeoning multimillion-dollar property portfolio. The luxury three-bedroom, four-bathroom unit on one of the highest levels of the building takes the value of the couple's residential real estate assets, which are dotted mostly north of the bridge, to more than $90 million. With commanding trophy northern aspect views of the harbour and Meyer Davis design, the 235-square-metre home oozes Manhattan luxury in the middle of Sydney's CBD. Robin, who is the founder and chief executive of data centre business AirTrunk, and his wife emerged as the buyers after lodging a caveat through a company of which they are both directors. It sold through Tasman Fallshaw of City Living, who declined to comment when contacted. It seems to be an upgrade for the couple, as they are selling a smaller unit on a lower floor with a price guide of $11.5 million through Monika Tu of Black Diamondz Property Concierge. The Khudas purchased that two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit for $10.7 million in 2021. Loading Listed at number 109 on The Australian Financial Review 's Rich List, Robin has an estimated wealth of $1.5 billion, which increased 36.3 per cent last year as he still owns 12 per cent of AirTrunk. The purchase of the luxury apartment in the Crown Residences comes after Robin's billionaire status was cemented at the end of last year when the world's largest alternative asset manager Blackstone, which also owns Crown Resorts, purchased AirTrunk to the tune of $24 billion – the largest data-centre deal globally and largest corporate transaction in Australia in 2024. The Khudas purchased the home from Carole Meers, the wife of former Sydney lord mayor, philanthropist and pub investor Nelson Meers AO, who passed away in 2022. The couple purchased the property off the plan for $17.5 million.
