KEY TAKEAWAYS
Guangdong adjusted its data center layout policy in 2023, shifting from strict new project suspension to demand-oriented, moderately forward construction. Guangzhou and Shenzhen released clear rack quantity targets for 2025 and 2027 respectively, and energy evaluation approvals will resume from 2024, which will significantly release the growth potential of regional cabinet supply.
Slowing growth of internet businesses dragged the region’s 2023 IDC market growth down to 3.9%. The deep integration of digital economy and local manufacturing, finance plus emerging large model computing demands will continuously lift market growth, and the regional IDC scale is projected to reach RMB 32.72 billion by 2028 with a compound annual growth rate of 11.7%.
The region owned 347,000 operational IDC racks by 2023, with a 7.4% year-on-year increase and obvious growth slowdown compared with 2022. With the gradual opening of urban data center approval channels and sustained release of multi-industry computing needs, the overall cabinet inventory will expand in an orderly manner in the next few years.
Driven by decelerating internet business expansion, the region’s total cabinet demand hit 234,000 racks in 2023, with only 3% year-on-year growth. Core demand comes from national internet giants, smart government construction, local manufacturing digital upgrading and fintech businesses, and emerging digital industries will further boost long-term demand.
Regional IDC market faced supply surplus in 2022-2023, resulting in lower cabinet utilization rate and longer resource digestion cycle. Telecom operators adopt asset-light cooperation modes, while third-party and state-owned IDC vendors launch customized AIDC services; the booming large model industry also pushes all participants to build unified intelligent computing resource pools.
