Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (JLL) estimates that artificial intelligence (AI) will account for 50% of global data center workload by 2030, up from 25% in 2025. Significant investment in the data center sector is projected to reach USD 3 trillion over the next five years, comprising USD 1.2 trillion in property asset increases and USD 870 billion in new debt financing.

Global data center capacity is expected to nearly double from 103 GW to 200 GW by 2030. The Americas are anticipated to remain the largest data center region, holding 50% of global capacity, while Asia-Pacific will grow from 32 GW to 57 GW.

Indonesia is emerging as a key growth market in Southeast Asia, driven by its business districts and connectivity. However, energy availability remains a challenge, with average electrical connection wait times exceeding four years in major markets. The global shift towards renewable energy and local power generation is reshaping the data center investment landscape.
