Japan’s data center market is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.27% from FY2024 to FY2032F, expanding from USD 8.52 billion in FY2024 to USD 17.32 billion by FY2032F.
The surge in cloud computing usage in Japan is fueling considerable expansion in the data center sector. As businesses undergo digital transformation, there’s a growing need for cloud infrastructure to store, manage, and process increasingly large volumes of data. Both established industries and emerging tech startups in Japan are embracing cloud-based solutions, which is significantly boosting demand for data centers. Additionally, the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G technology is further propelling data center growth due to the intensive computing power and low-latency infrastructure these technologies require.
Major players in the data center industry are expanding their presence in Japan to meet growing demand from enterprises and government entities. For example, Oracle Corporation Japan announced in April 2024 an investment of USD 8 billion over the next decade to strengthen its AI and cloud infrastructure in the country. The company has also expanded its local engineering and support teams to address Japan’s digital sovereignty standards.

Sustainability Initiatives Supporting Market Growth
Japan’s commitment to environmental sustainability is playing a crucial role in advancing its data center market. With a national goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, businesses are prioritizing eco-friendly and energy-efficient data centers. As data consumption rises, the demand for sustainable infrastructure is becoming increasingly important.
Companies are integrating green technologies such as liquid cooling systems, renewable energy sources, and AI-driven energy management to reduce their carbon emissions. For instance, Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ) installed rooftop solar panels with a 336kWp capacity at its Shiroi data center campus in FY2023. Other industry leaders, including KDDI Corporation and NTT, are exploring solar innovations such as perovskite solar cells and expanding solar installations across their facilities—further accelerating market growth.
Government Policies Driving Market Expansion
Government initiatives have significantly bolstered the Japanese data center market. Japan’s digital transformation strategy includes a focus on expanding data infrastructure to support its growing digital economy. One major policy, the Digital Garden City Nation initiative, promotes the decentralization of data centers by encouraging regional development outside of Tokyo and Osaka. This strategy aims to enhance resilience against disasters and reduce congestion in urban centers.
To stimulate regional investment, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) introduced a subsidy in FY2023 covering up to 50% of land development and infrastructure costs for new data centers. Support also includes building power and telecommunications infrastructure, with potential funding reaching USD 120 million for land and infrastructure, and up to USD 230 million for full project development, according to JETRO.
Colocation Services Fueling Market Momentum
Japan’s data center industry is witnessing significant momentum from the rise of colocation services, which provide businesses with leased physical space and computing resources within professionally managed data centers. These services offer cost savings, scalability, reliability, and proximity to users, reducing the need for in-house technical teams.
The demand for colocation is growing alongside increasing cloud adoption, data storage needs, and digital transformation efforts across industries. Additionally, trends such as e-commerce expansion, remote work, and hybrid cloud strategies—which combine on-premises and colocation models—are contributing to market growth. The ongoing progress in AI and machine learning technologies is also expected to heighten the need for advanced data processing capabilities, further strengthening this segment.
Outlook (FY2025–FY2032F)
The Japan data center market is set for continued expansion, driven by increased cloud computing use, corporate digital transformation, and strong commitments to sustainability. Government initiatives promoting infrastructure development and decentralization are also expected to sustain growth.
The colocation segment, in particular, will continue to gain traction due to its operational advantages and rising demand for scalable and secure data services. Combined with technological innovations and policy support, these factors are shaping a promising future for Japan’s data center landscape.
