Copper Price Volatility Hits Asia-Pacific Data Centre Developers
The high price of copper is causing concern for data centre developers in Asia-Pacific, where power grids are relatively inefficient and require more copper infrastructure.
According to Alexander Kheder, a technology, media, and telecommunications analyst at BMI, the region's exposure to copper price volatility is structural rather than cyclical.
The Asia-Pacific is one of the fastest-growing data centre markets, with an average annual growth rate of 11% between 2025 and 2028.
