South Korea Growing Data Center Investment Landscape 

South Korea has emerged as a key player in the APAC region for data center investments, driven by its strategic location, government support, and ample land availability. The country accounts for over 50% of the region’s data center investments, fueled by the rise of AI, IoT, big data, and cloud adoption. Efforts by the government to attract data centers outside Seoul, offering incentives like power subsidies, are addressing high demand and rising land costs in urban areas. 

South Korea’s strong digital infrastructure is bolstered by its 12 existing undersea cables, connecting to global markets. Major cloud providers like AWS, Microsoft, and Alibaba are active in the region, with new data centers launching regularly. Notable recent developments include SK Telecom’s expansion of its AI-ready data center, SkyLab’s XR cloud partnership, and LS Electric’s collaboration for an AI-powered data center. Additionally, substantial investments, such as a $700 million joint venture for a hyperscale center, highlight the country’s growing prominence in the global data center market.

South Korea Colocation Data Center Market Growth 

South Korea is a leading colocation data center hub in the APAC region, with over 43 operational facilities, primarily concentrated in Seoul, which houses more than 20 centers. Major global and local players, such as Equinix, Digital Realty, Telehouse, LG CNS, and KT Cloud, dominate the market. In December 2024, Digital Realty’s operational center in Seoul generated an annualized rent of $4.6 million. The revenue per MW in South Korea is estimated to range from $1.5 million to $2.0 million.  

The colocation market is driven by large cloud and IT enterprises, as well as telecom hyperscale operators. New entrants, including OneAsia Network, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, and others, are expected to boost market competition and revenue. Additionally, significant investments from real estate and investment firms, such as Macquarie Asset Management’s acquisition of Hanam Data Centre, highlight the growing interest in South Korea’s data center sector. Several major hyperscale projects are also in the pipeline, indicating strong market growth in the forecast period.
