STT Fairview Underscores High Market Confidence in STT GDC Philippines

STT GDC Philippines continues to see strong demand for its services, maintaining impressive capacity utilisation despite recent expansions. This high level of utilisation reflects strong market confidence and underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to serving its customers while attracting new ones.

Artificial Intelligence is seen to contribute 12% or about USD $92 billion to the Philippines’ GDP by 2030, according to the Department of Trade and Industry. Insights from Statista, meanwhile, forecast the AI industry in the country to grow in market size at a compound annual growth rate of 28.57%, reaching USD $3.5 billion by 2030, from the current USD $772 million.

Looking ahead, the company aims to leverage its expanded capacity to attract major cloud service providers, combining global expertise and deep local market knowledge.

As a joint venture between Globe, Ayala Corporation, and Singapore-based ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, which operates 95 data centres across 11 countries, STT GDC Philippines plays a critical role in the region’s digital infrastructure.

“Our designs are built around the current and future requirements of hyperscalers, and our ability to deliver on our commitments is underpinned by the ongoing development of local technical talent,” Malana added.

Sustainability is a key pillar of STT GDC Philippines’ growth strategy. The company integrates innovative technologies and practices to minimize environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency and infrastructure resilience. This approach ensures that expansion efforts align with sustainability goals, attract investment, and create long-term value for stakeholders.
