Taiwan's data center market is projected to grow from USD 1.97 billion in 2025 to USD 5.72 billion by 2031, a compound annual growth rate of 19.44%, according to a new ResearchAndMarkets.com report. Taipei remains the island's leading data center destination, supported by hyperscale developments and cloud regions, while submarine cable investment is strengthening Taiwan's position as a major digital infrastructure hub in Asia. In October 2025, Meta announced an investment in Candle, a submarine cable project connecting Taiwan with Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore; the approximately 4,971-mile cable is expected to deliver transmission capacity of up to 570 terabits per second and become operational in 2028. Taiwan's government plans to provide approximately USD 28.7 billion in funding by 2030 in support of its 2050 Net-Zero Transition, covering renewable energy, hydrogen, grid modernization, energy storage and related programs. In June 2025, Amazon Web Services launched its first Taiwan cloud region in Taipei with three availability zones and announced plans to invest approximately USD 5 billion in the country's data center infrastructure, while in November 2025 Foxconn announced the development of an AI data center using NVIDIA's GB300 NVL72 platform, expected to become operational in the first half of 2026. The report covers 25 existing data center facilities and six upcoming facilities across more than five cities, and names established colocation operators including Chief Telecom, Chunghwa Telecom, Far EasTone Telecommunications, NTT Communications, Taiwan Mobile and Vantage Data Centers, with potential new entrants including Apple, Microsoft, Keppel Data Centres and SC Zeus Data Centers.
