Industry Findings: Chile’s procurement and vendor-selection logic is pivoting around new capacity and trans-Pacific connectivity that make the country attractive for both South American and Asia-Pacific workloads; buyers now prioritise platforms offering local data residency, strong network peering, and AI-ready compute, which elevates demand for event-driven data platforms, API management, and integrated DevOps capabilities that can run near the new infrastructure.
Industry Progression: A major supply-side development was Amazon’s confirmed plan to invest about US$4 billion to build cloud infrastructure in Chile, announced in May-2025; that commitment creates new local region capacity for AI and data services and repositioned Chile as a South American hub with improved connectivity to Asia via projects like Google’s Humboldt cable, prompting enterprises to plan PaaS migrations that minimise cross-border latency and leverage local AI-ready infrastructure.
Industry Player Insights: Some of the providers in this sector include Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Corporation, and Entel Chile etc. AWS’ $4 billion Chile commitment (May-2025) and Google’s Humboldt cable initiative strengthened Chile’s case for hosting latency-sensitive PaaS workloads; local carriers like Entel are positioning interconnection and managed services to help enterprises adopt region-hosted PaaS stacks with robust peering and compliance assurances.
