The data centre business alone attracted a combined investment value of 521.2 billion baht from 28 projects, as foreign and local tech companies continued to address the soaring demand for cloud services from hyperscalers, which refers to global cloud service companies.

Hyperscalers such as Amazon Web Services and Google, as well as platforms such as TikTok, have announced plans to expand in Thailand and the region.

In other segments of the digital sector, cloud services saw two investment applications worth a combined 671 million baht, while 59 applications were filed for software and digital platform development projects, representing 669 million baht in combined investment.
