The Singapore–Johor corridor has been identified as a key emerging hub for AI infrastructure in the inaugural Global Data Center Report 2025 by the Digital Infrastructure Collective Asia, a research group focused on Asia’s digital and AI infrastructure.

The report highlights that Singapore and Johor together are positioned to anchor AI development in Asia, citing a combined operational data center capacity expected to exceed 3,500MW by 2030.

Johor’s data center capacity has grown rapidly, reaching over 1,500MW in 2024, while Singapore maintains more than 1,000MW.

Both regions benefit from energy strategies linked to the ASEAN Power Grid and regulatory support, including Singapore’s efficiency standards for data centers.

Major tech companies such as Nvidia and Microsoft have announced large data center projects in Johor.

The report notes that Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing data center region globally, with a 19.3% CAGR from 2019 to 2024.

It also highlights ongoing disparities in compute resources across Asia, with Vietnam lagging behind Singapore in access to computing power.
