NTT Data Expands Indonesia Data Center Footprint as Market Set to Top $6 Billion by 2031

By: IDCNOVARegion: Southeast Asia
NTT Data Group has disclosed plans to expand its data center footprint in Indonesia, with new land acquisitions slated for the next two to three years as the company deepens its bet on Southeast Asia's fast-growing artificial intelligence computing demand. The move follows the November 2026 commissioning of the JKT2A data center in Jakarta and underscores Indonesia's emergence as one of the region's most dynamic emerging markets for digital infrastructure.

The expansion comes as Indonesia's data center market is projected to more than double over the next six years. According to the latest industry data from Research and Markets, the Indonesian data center market was valued at $2.81 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $6.08 billion by 2031, driven by rapid AI industry expansion across Southeast Asia and continued penetration of the local digital economy.

NTT has invested a cumulative $500 million in Indonesia's data center market since entering in 2015. The recently launched JKT2A facility in Jakarta offers 12MW of IT capacity and connects more than 240 network service providers and cloud platforms, making it one of the few high-tier, AI-ready computing hubs in the country. The new expansion plan is expected to further elevate NTT's computing capacity in Indonesia.

Yasuhiro Kajiki, Managing Director of NTT Global Data Centers for Japan and Asia-Pacific, said Indonesia is among the group's top priorities for expansion. Noting that coordination costs with local communities are rising across data center projects globally, Kajiki said NTT will make local engagement and community collaboration a prerequisite for project advancement to ensure smooth delivery of new builds.

The Indonesia plan is part of a broader global buildout. In October 2026, NTT Data simultaneously launched AI factories in Paris, Munich, and Singapore, adding to existing facilities in Texas and Riyadh. As a core node in Southeast Asia, Indonesia is expected to collaborate closely with neighboring AI factories to capture rapidly growing regional computing demand.
