Industry Findings: Chile’s performance is being shaped by the country’s increasing relevance as a low-latency, renewable-energy-backed compute location (Sep-2023). Enterprises in energy, mining, and financial services now seek cloud environments capable of supporting high-throughput analytics. A strong indicator is the development of hyperscaler-oriented DC projects in Santiago, reinforced by Chile’s stable power infrastructure and its accelerating fiber-backbone upgrades.
Industry Progression: Progression gained momentum when Google confirmed continued datacenter expansion activity in Chile in Nov-2023, adding capacity aligned with AI and analytics workloads. This boosts regional compute availability, reduces dependency on Brazil-hosted deployments, and attracts enterprises seeking proximity for regulated or latency-sensitive workloads.
Industry Player Insights: Chile’s competitive mix is shaped by major players including Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Claro Chile, and Sonda. Sonda’s Oct-2023 enhancement of its Santiago DC introduced new cooling modules and efficiency upgrades, strengthening domestic hosting resilience and increasing options for hybrid-cloud pathways.
