Industry Findings: Peru’s AI procurement environment now links regulatory clarity with infrastructure expansion, nudging buyers toward accelerators that deliver audited performance and align with public-sector digitisation priorities. A defining non-vendor example is the enactment of Law No. 31814 in Jul-2023, which established an AI-promoting legal framework and set the stage for subsequent implementation regulations and infrastructure commitments. That legal foundation reduced policy ambiguity and raised expectations that procurers will require demonstrable governance, privacy safeguards and energy-profile disclosures from accelerator vendors. Immediate effects include faster uptake of GPU-as-a-service offerings for public analytics and logistics pilots; over the medium term, formal regulation will favour suppliers that provide certified toolchains, reproducible benchmark results and appliance-like deployments that suit constrained procurement cycles and sustainability criteria.
Industry Player Insights: Some of the players operating in the Peru marketplace are Claro, Entel, Telefónica, and AWS etc. Claro inaugurated a Tier-III data-centre facility in Lima in Dec-2023, creating domestically hosted capacity for GPU-backed workloads and enabling local organisations to avoid offshoring sensitive inference tasks. Entel Peru commercialised a Huawei dual-band 5G AAU deployment in Jul-2024 and concurrently expanded edge compute capabilities, which enhances operators’ ability to host low-latency accelerator instances for smart-city and industrial pilots. These vendor initiatives improve in-country compute choice, shorten procurement lead times for public and private buyers, and encourage integrators to bundle governance-ready software with appliance deployments to meet Peru’s regulatory and performance expectations.
