Chile Data Center Market - Investment Analysis and Growth

Dublin, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Chile Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2026-2031" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Chile data center market was valued at USD 1.07 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1.73 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.34%. Growth is being supported by cloud adoption, artificial intelligence workloads, hyperscale investment, international connectivity projects, and rising demand for reliable colocation capacity.

Chile is among South America's more mature data center markets, with approximately 39 operational third-party data center facilities and nine upcoming projects identified across five cities. Most existing capacity is concentrated in Santiago, Paine, and Valparaiso. Continued development by regional operators and global hyperscalers is expected to strengthen Chile's position as a strategic digital infrastructure hub.

Chile Data Center Market Highlights

Prominent operators include Ascenty, EdgeConneX, Equinix, Gtd, NextStream, ODATA (Aligned Data Centers), Scala Data Centers, and SONDA. Several providers have announced capacity expansions, while Amazon Web Services and Microsoft are increasing their market activity.

In June 2025, Chile partnered with Google on the Humboldt Subsea Cable project - an 8,699-mile system connecting Chile with Oceania through the country's first direct link across the South Pacific. Operations are scheduled to begin by Q4 2026, improving international data transmission and AI-driven global connectivity.

Chile's colocation sector generated approximately USD 101 million in wholesale revenue and USD 147 million in retail revenue during 2025. Retail colocation currently leads the revenue mix by serving SMEs, IT service providers, enterprises, and edge deployments.

By 2031, wholesale colocation is projected to account for more than 73.98% of total market investment, while retail colocation is expected to represent 26.02%.

Demand for high-density, cloud-oriented facilities is increasing investment in servers, storage systems, network infrastructure, AI-optimized hardware, power systems, cooling technologies, and construction services.
