PETALING JAYA: BMI, a unit of Fitch Solutions, forecasts an average 9.7% year-on-year capacity growth in data centres across Asia Pacific between this year and 2028, with Malaysia, Indonesia and India at the forefront of this growth.

The market analyst noted that while Malaysia is leading the region in data centre expansion, the pace of expansion is placing significant pressure on its land and power resources, including the power grid.
