AI Boom Drives Data Centre Demand Amid Supply and Power Challenges (CBRE) 29 May 2025
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing is driving unprecedented demand for data centres across Asia Pacific. Despite expectations that data centre supply will double by 2028, the region still faces a shortfall of 15–25 gigawatts, primarily due to limited power availability and a shortage of AI-ready infrastructure.
AI workloads require over twice the power density of traditional setups, necessitating upgrades in cooling, floor load, latency, and bandwidth. Many current and planned facilities are not equipped to meet these new technical standards.
