Discover which countries lead AI data centers, including Thailand and Bangkok’s growing hyperscaler role in global digital infrastructure.
Artificial intelligence is transforming industries worldwide—and behind every AI application is powerful infrastructure. Hyperscalers and cloud providers are rapidly building advanced facilities to support AI workloads, creating a global network of high-performance data centers.
According to All About AI (2025), there are approximately 11,800 data centers worldwide as of 2026, with a rapidly growing number designed specifically for AI workloads. The United States alone hosts 51% of global hyperscale AI facilities, making it the clear global leader.
Why Hyperscalers Build AI Data Centers Globally
Hyperscalers expand globally to improve performance, scalability, and reliability.
Key Reasons Include
1. Reduce Latency
Data centers closer to users improve speed and performance.
2. Support AI Workloads
AI applications require massive computing power.
3. Improve Reliability
Multiple data centers ensure service continuity.
4. Scale Cloud Services
Global infrastructure supports growing cloud demand.
This distributed infrastructure enables hyperscalers to serve customers worldwide efficiently.
Future Outlook: AI Data Center Growth Will Accelerate
The number of AI data centers will continue growing rapidly.
Key trends include:
- Increased hyperscaler investment
- Expansion into new regions
- Growth in AI-driven applications
- Higher demand for scalable infrastructure
The United States will remain dominant, but other countries will continue expanding their AI capabilities.
