Bangkok (VNA) - Thailand's data centre services market is projected to grow by 8% this year to 12.7 billion THB (379.16 million USD), driven by rising demand for greater processing power to support companies' adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and enlarged data storage.

The finance, wholesale and retail, and healthcare sectors are taking the lead in data centre service demand, according to Kasikorn Research Centre (K-Research).

Data centre services are expected to account for 43.3% of the overall Thai data centre market this year, with the remainder coming from companies' investment in their own data centres, noted the research house.

Thailand's data centre services industry has posted continuous growth over the past five years, with total revenue tallying an average annual growth rate of 12.6% thanks to the work-from-home trend driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the growth trends to slow down due to the economic challenge and the uncertainty stemming from the US's reciprocal tariff that threatens to worsen the economy, he said.

Roughly 94% of the demand for data storage services in Thailand comes from private sector enterprises, driven by the increasing adoption of digital technologies for business planning and customer engagement./.
