As vacancy rates reach an all-time low in established locations and emerging markets experience an increase in pre-leasing activity, market entry for new providers has become increasingly competitive. Legislation and processes, a limited supply chain, as well as an understanding of local market dynamics are all factors that operators need to be aware of when expanding their geographical footprint. As AI workloads move the boundaries on location and latency, how is this influencing site selection and customer demand? Will emerging markets have a more dispersed data centre footprint? What are the greatest challenges beyond competition for land and power?
