DHL Plans To Expand Data Centre Logistics Capabilities Across Asia Pacific

SINGAPORE, June 9 (Bernama) -- DHL Supply Chain announced the expansion of its data centre logistics capabilities across the Asia Pacific region to strengthen its position as a strategic partner for hyper-scalers and data centre operators.

In a statement, it said the expansion includes more than 30,000 square metres (sq m) of dedicated warehouse capacity currently in operation across Asia Pacific, with a further 130,000 sq m of committed expansion and built‑to‑suit development in Malaysia and Thailand scheduled to go live over the next two years.

In total, DHL will support more than 160,000 sq m of data centre logistics infrastructure across key markets in the region.

“The expansion directly responds to Asia Pacific’s rapid data centre growth, with the region projected to overtake the United States as the largest data centre market globally by 2030.

“With the data centre logistics market increasing from US$23 billion (US$1=RM4.05) in 2025 to approximately US$35 billion by 2030, these complex environments call for speed, security, and specialised handling, which DHL is well-positioned to support the entire data centre life cycle,” it said.

DHL Supply Chain Asia Pacific chief executive officer Javier Bilbao said that as the region enters a sustained phase of large-scale data centre execution, customers need more than capacity.

“Our investments in dedicated infrastructure and advanced white-glove capabilities are designed to deliver that certainty by combining precision, consistency, and speed in some of the region’s most demanding deployment environments,” he said.
