This comprehensive guide from Knight Frank provides a detailed examination of the Kingdom’s evolving data centre landscape, highlighting the sector’s growth drivers, market capacity, technology standards and operators shaping Cambodia’s digital infrastructure.
Summary
Cambodia’s GDP expanded by 7% per annum between 1995 and 2019, underpinning the modernisation that now fuels commercial data centre development.
The current operational capacity stands at 7 MW, with further expansion expected following a USD $30 million project announced by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
Legislation requiring companies to store data onshore is anticipated to accelerate long-term growth, with numerous feasibility-stage projects indicating an exponential expansion trajectory.
Market take-up remained flat between 2018 and 2021 before rising sharply in 2022 and peaking in 2023, driven by new operators entering the sector.
Major operators include ByteDC, Chaktomuk (CDC) and Daun Penh Data Center (DPDC), alongside Telecotech, Ezecom, Seatel, MekongNet and NeocomISP (NTC).
Data centres in Cambodia are structured across 'Live Capacity', 'Under Construction Capacity', 'Committed Capacity' and 'Early Stage Capacity', offering a clear classification of market readiness.
Tier classifications from Tier I to Tier IV define uptime, redundancy and resilience levels, with Tier IV offering 99.995% uptime and maximum fault tolerance for mission-critical operations.
