U.S. Dominates Global Data Center Infrastructure with 37% Share
The United States leads with 4,204 data centers, accounting for 37.2% of the global total. In contrast, Brazil has 205 centers, representing 42% of Latin America's investments, but faces regulatory challenges that hinder competitiveness.

As of now, the U.S. holds 37.2% of the global data center market with 4,204 facilities out of 11,296 worldwide. Brazil, with 205 centers, ranks second in Latin America, following the U.S. and surpassing Chile's 66 units.
The U.S. dominance is driven by an advanced cloud ecosystem supported by major players like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, focusing on energy availability and data consumption proximity. Brazil's regulatory uncertainties, particularly regarding the proposed Redata framework, may impede its growth potential. Approximately 60% of Brazilian data is processed abroad, highlighting a critical need for local infrastructure development to enhance digital sovereignty and security amidst global geopolitical tensions.
