KEY TRENDS

Surge of 5G Connectivity in Edge Data Center Investments

• In Latin America, 5G will account for nearly 60% of the total mobile connections by 2030. The deployment of 5G networks is fueling modern edge devices, remote working, and the application of advanced technologies. Brazil is leading the way in 5G technology deployments. Other countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Peru, are in the trial stage.
• In December 2023, Colombia's Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications (MinTIC) authorized Claro, Partners Telecom Colombia (WOM), Union Temporal Colombia Movil-Telefonica, and Sociedad Futura Telecall Colombia to participate in the 5G auction, which is expected to generate around USD 500 million.
• The rising deployment of 5G services and the growth in demand for connectivity in new locations and Tier I and II cities are attracting investments from edge data center operators. For instance, edge operators, including Surfix Data Center, Brisanet, V.tal, and EdgeUno, are investing in establishing multiple edge data centers across Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico.

Increase In Sustainable Initiatives

Latin American governments, such as Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Colombia, have set sustainability targets. They are working together to diversify their electrical networks to support the policy and regulatory changes that encourage using renewable energy sources. Brazil, Chile, and Mexico have tremendous influence among neighboring countries, allowing them to present their renewable energy policies as viable models for the other countries in the region.

Digital Economy

Governments and organizations are taking initiatives to develop and grow the digital economy. These initiatives are slated to increase the region's digital transactions and smart payment technologies. According to the World Bank, around 75% of the Latin American population has internet connectivity, and 35% of individuals still prefer cash to digital payment methods.

In January 2024, Amazon customers in Mexico could choose Kueski Pay, a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option. This provides the purchase plans of 12 bi-weekly installments through linked bank accounts, debit cards, or cash under respective networks.

SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS

• The data centers in Latin America are increasingly adopting advanced techniques such as air and liquid-based cooling. This includes innovations such as liquid-based immersion cooling and the incorporation of inventive air conditioning technology by Google in its latest data center in Uruguay.
• Eaton, Caterpillar, Cummins, Legrand, ABB, Rolls Royce, and Schneider Electric are some of the significant electrical infrastructure providers in the Latin America data center construction market that are collaborating with operators for installing electrical infrastructure, such as UPS systems and generators, with a minimum of N+1 redundancy. For instance, the KIO Networks BOG 1 data center facility is installed with Cummins diesel generators.
• Data centers are investing in cooling infrastructure due to the high-temperature climate in some Latin American countries. In 2023, cooling systems accounted for a market share of more than 65% of the total mechanical infrastructure in data centers.

GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS

• Brazil led the Latin America data center construction market in 2023, accounting for over 40% of the market share in investments. Mexico, Chile, and Colombia followed this country.
• In Latin America, several countries are actively establishing Special Economic Zones (SEZs), Free Trade Zones (FTZs), Export Processing Zones (EPZs), business parks, and industrial zones, which provide attractive benefits such as tax incentives for international businesses. In 2023, Google started the construction of the Teros data center facility in Uruguay. The company acquired a property of around 30 hectares within the Parque de las Ciencias Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in the Canelones department of Uruguay.
