China data centres

China is the world’s fastest-growing major economy and has become the focal point of Asia, with an average growth of 10% over the past 30 years. China does however remain a challenge for many businesses wanting to expand, with commercial and technical hurdles relating to bandwidth availability, network access and power supply.

Recent government reforms including the establishment of a free-trade zone in Shanghai are currently increasing the country’s attractiveness for future investments as China demonstrates its willingness to open up to the global economy. This means that business opportunities are predicted to expand in key sectors, such as renewable energy and technology.

With 590.6 million users in 2013, China has more internet users than any other country and the world’s largest broadband subscriber base with 180 million subscribers in 2013. The Chinese telecom market is the largest in the world in terms of subscribers, with a mobile sector expanding at 10% per annum. China’s data centre market has seen the development of a growing number of high quality, energy-efficient cloud data centres. The country’s cloud computing market is estimated to grow at an annual rate of 50% in the next few years and will reach more than 13.6bn CNY by the end of 2015. China’s data centre colocation market will grow at a 40% compounded annual growth rate, reaching 380% of its current size by 2016.
