Asia Pacific IaaS Market Size and Forecast by Offering, Deployment Model, Organization Size, Subscription Model, and End User Industry: 2019-2033

Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: Asia Pacific’s performance is strongly shaped by rapid digitalization across high-growth economies and an escalating appetite for AI-grade compute (Oct-2023). The region’s fragmented regulatory landscape requires multi-zone, distributed architecture, prompting enterprises to design workloads around latency corridors rather than national boundaries. A defining driver is continued hyperscale investment across Singapore, Australia, India, and Japan, which creates competitive pull effects throughout the region.

Industry Progression: Industry progression accelerated when Microsoft announced a major US$2.2B cloud and AI investment plan for Malaysia in Apr-2024, reinforcing APAC’s role as a global AI-compute expansion hotspot. This move widens regional capacity distribution, encourages cross-market cloud adoption, and drives neighboring economies to accelerate data-center permitting reforms to stay competitive.

Industry Player Insights: The Asia-Pacific region’s momentum is led by Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and NTT Data. Alibaba Cloud’s Hong Kong region upgrade in Sep-2023 expanded high-performance compute and network throughput, lifting cross-border workload portability and intensifying the region’s multi-cloud competition.
