2022 Global Data Center Market Comparison

Ten Markets to Watch

01

We are tracking several additional markets closely for future inclusion in our Global Data Center Market Comparison, including some global megacities. These include Istanbul, the commercial center and largest city in Turkey, with more than 15 million people across the greater metropolitan area. Istanbul’s data center market features only a handful of well-known operators at this point. With more than 12 million people, Moscow is the center of a massive Russian economy. Bangkok is a hub for 15 million people and has a strong technical manufacturing sector. Even relatively smaller coastal cities such as Cape Town or Auckland remain of interest as connectivity plays. The following sections take a deeper dive into the 13 categories we used to score each data center, the results of which helped us determine overall rankings.
