0500 GMT - China and India are the key drivers of incremental demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region, according to PwC's Global Data Centre Outlook 2026-50 report. This is due to the countries' large populations and fast-growing digital economies, with significant room for AI to become part of business and consumer activity. "China remains one of the few markets with the scale and strategic focus to support large-scale training workloads," the report says. Additionally, the Asia-Pacific region has widest range of forecasts for AI investment, which is seen rising 69% under faster adoption and falling 34% under slower adoption. "Outcomes within the region are uneven."
