Chile Hyperscale Data Center Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence

Chile hyperscale data center market spending is valued at USD 1.41 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 4.00 billion by 2030, representing a 23.27% CAGR during the period. Operators are scaling capacity in Santiago from 300 MW of live IT power to an additional 50 MW now under construction, supported by predictable renewable-energy supply and strong submarine-cable connectivity. Government incentives introduced under the National Data Centers Plan in December 2024 target USD 2.5 billion of inward investment and shorten permitting cycles, which has intensified development pipelines across both colocation and self-build footprints [2]United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, “Chile National Data Centres Plan,” investmentpolicyhub.unctad.org. E-commerce platforms, banks and media-streaming providers are accelerating cloud adoption, lifting demand for high-density racks that can host GPU clusters for AI model training. Tight but improving grid capacity in northern Chile and innovative cooling designs addressing drought risk are shaping competitive positioning among global hyperscalers and Latin American specialists.

  • By geography, Santiago captured 250 MW of installed IT power—roughly 65% of total capacity—while northern Chile is the fastest-growing cluster with a 22% CAGR driven by solar-powered campuses.

Segment Analysis

By Data-Center Type: Self-build momentum accelerates

Hyperscale colocation owns 65% Chile hyperscale data center market share in 2024, supported by operators such as Ascenty, ODATA and Scala Data Centers. At 250 MW installed, Santiago’s colocation footprint offers cloud-on-ramp, peering and interconnection services aligned with carrier hotels. This dominance of third-party space reflects enterprise preference for rapid deployment and opex funding models. However, the Chile hyperscale data center market size for enterprise/self-build footprints is projected to compound at 20% through 2030 as hyperscalers pursue dedicated halls optimized for liquid cooling and AI hardware.

The enterprise/self-build cohort is anchored by Amazon’s USD 4 billion Chile region, featuring three Availability Zones planned for service launch in 2026. Similar self-build blueprints from Google and Microsoft focus on 100-acre campuses outside quake-fault buffers and near renewable-energy substations. These projects grant operators greater PUE control, allow direct investment in on-site solar plus battery farms, and deliver proprietary network fabrics that outperform multi-tenant facilities. The hybrid strategy core self-build plus edge colocation will characterize hyperscaler real estate portfolios across Chile over the forecast horizon.

By Service Type: PaaS growth outpaces market

IaaS retains 55% share of Chile hyperscale data center market size in 2024, underpinning cloud foundations for compute, storage and networking. The segment’s scale is visible in Santiago’s six on-ramps to AWS Direct Connect, Google Cloud Interconnect and Oracle FastConnect. National demand is robust from fintech sandboxes, health-record digitization projects and content-distribution stacks. Platform-as-a-Service, while smaller, is pacing at a 15% CAGR to 2030 as local DevOps teams embrace container orchestration, serverless functions and AI toolchains. AWS’s January 2025 roll-out of Bedrock in Spanish and Portuguese catalyzed adoption among digital agencies building generative-AI chatbots.

SaaS solutions continue to diversify, but price-sensitive Chilean corporates often combine open-source components with managed PostgreSQL and Kafka services. Public-sector frameworks under the Digital-Transformation Law stipulate sovereign-cloud instances for sensitive workloads, amplifying demand for infrastructure that can host both multi-tenant PaaS and isolated workloads within the same availability zone. The resulting service-mix flexibility strengthens the Chile hyperscale data center market by drawing a fuller spectrum of cloud buyers into domestic facilities rather than distant U.S. west-coast regions.

By End User: E-commerce drives digital-infrastructure demand

Cloud and IT tenants captured 45% of Chile hyperscale data center market size in 2024 as global providers extend region availability to reduce latency and comply with data-sovereignty rules. AWS leads with an edge node in Quinta Normal, Microsoft with a forthcoming region in San Bernardo, Google with its long-standing Quilicura site, and Oracle operating twin clouds in Santiago. These deployments create gravitational pull for analytics, cybersecurity and backup workloads that migrate from on-premise server rooms.

E-commerce tops growth at a 25% CAGR to 2030. Retailers Falabella and Mercado Libre doubled click-through conversions after migrating catalog search and recommendations onto GPU-accelerated clusters housed in Santiago data halls. Cross-border logistics platforms leverage the Humboldt cable to deliver sub-250 ms checkout performance for Asian shoppers buying Chilean wine or lithium battery packs. BFSI workloads follow closely as banks implement ISO 20022 real-time-payments clearing, requiring ultra-low-latency interconnects and high-availability zones within metropolitan fault lines. Secondary verticals—media streaming, gaming, manufacturing and telecom—are adopting hybrid clouds but remain smaller contributors to occupied megawatts.

Geography Analysis

Santiago anchors the Chile hyperscale data center market with 250 MW of live IT load and 50 MW in active builds, equivalent to roughly 83% of national capacity. Three-phase power redundancy, eight fiber rings and proximity to 40% of the nation’s GDP make the capital the default landing point for new entrants. However, escalating land premiums averaging USD 3 million per acre within tech corridors along with longer municipal approval cycles are prompting operators to scout peripheral communes such as Lampa and Paine. Even with these pressures, Santiago’s colocation facilities maintain 85% average occupancy rates and continue to absorb AI-GPU deployments that demand dense fiber cross-connects.

Northern Chile is emerging as a renewable-first cluster. The Atacama Desert offers world-class solar irradiance, enabling 24 / 7 net-zero PPAs at competitive tariffs. Atlas Renewable Energy has reserved 112 MWAC from its Sol del Desierto farm to back ODATA’s upcoming Calama campus. Grid-congestion risk along the Antofagasta-Santiago 500 kV lines has delayed some projects, yet the Ministry of Energy’s March 2025 auction of dynamic-line-rating upgrades promises 14 GW of incremental north-to-center transfer capacity by 2027. Northern projects must also contend with water stress; thus, most designs rely on closed-loop evaporative-free cooling to sidestep groundwater permitting.

Competitive Landscape

The Chile hyperscale data center market is moderately concentrated. The four largest operators AWS, Microsoft, Google and Oracle when combined with the three main colocation specialists Ascenty, ODATA and Scala control around 78% of commissioned megawatts. AWS is executing a USD 4 billion self-build region expected online by late 2026, featuring heat-reuse into district-heating networks for nearby residential. Microsoft’s San Bernardo region will run entirely on wind and solar delivered under a 20-year PPA with AES Andes. Google partnered with the Ministry of Science to study geothermal cooling options at its Quilicura campus as part of its 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy commitment.

Colocation specialists are honing differentiation on scale-out blocks, connectivity fabrics and sustainability. Ascenty filed environmental approvals in March 2025 for a 36-MW hall adjacent to its existing SCL2 site, promising water-free cooling and solar-powered rooftop UPS. Scala Data Centers, backed by DigitalBridge, announced an 80-MW campus in Curauma focused on AI clusters that require 50 kW per rack. Equinix, having acquired Entel’s four data centers in 2022 for USD 638 million, is upgrading them to its “xScale” specification to win dedicated hyperscaler pods.[3]U.S Securities and Exchange Commission, “Equinix Form 10-K 2024,” sec.gov
