Dublin, Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Chile Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2026-2031" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Chile Data Center Market was valued at USD 1.07 Billion in 2025, and is projected to reach USD 1.73 Billion by 2031, rising at a CAGR of 8.34%

The country is home to several prominent data center operators, including Ascenty, EdgeConneX, Equinix, ODATA (Aligned Data Centers), Scala Data Centers, Gtd, NextStream, and SONDA, many of which have announced or planned capacity expansions. In parallel, hyperscalers such as AWS and Microsoft are increasing their market activity, further driving demand for scalable infrastructure.



The number of third-party data center facilities in Chile continues to rise steadily. As one of the more mature markets in South America, Chile currently hosts approximately 39 operational colocation data centers, primarily concentrated in Santiago, Paine, and Valparaiso.

Chile is actively strengthening its digital ecosystem through large-scale international partnerships aimed at enhancing AI-driven global connectivity. Notably, in June 2025, Chile partnered with Google on the Humboldt Subsea Cable project - an 8,699-mile cable linking Chile to Oceania and the country's first connection across the South Pacific. Announced in 2024, the project is expected to significantly improve data transmission speeds and global AI interconnectivity, with operations scheduled to begin by Q4 2026.

In 2025, Chile's colocation market generated approximately USD 101 million in wholesale colocation revenue, while retail colocation reached around USD 147 million. Retail colocation maintains a leading position due to its ability to serve a broad customer base, including SMEs, IT service providers, and edge deployments, underscoring the market's competitive dynamics.

Looking ahead to 2031, colocation investments in Chile are expected to be increasingly driven by the wholesale segment, which is projected to account for more than 73.98% of total investment. The retail colocation segment is anticipated to represent the remaining 26.02% share of overall market investment.
