The global market is projected to reach $368 billion by 2026. A 17% growth is anticipated for the digital market of Southeast Asia in 2026, reaching $368 billion, according to the article. This evolution is attributed to the creation of more extensive financial agreements and investments in data production, particularly two major agreements involving STT GDC and DayOne.

These changes have led to an extension of data center capacity installed up to 5.8 gigawatts ahead of 2026, compared to 4 gigawatts at the end of 2025. Additionally, technological progress has been faster than other countries. In Singapore, which has a token AI consumption per inhabitant equivalent to five million, the USA consumes 60 million tokens annually, and Europe uses 14 million tokens per year.

In this context, the country continues to attract significant funding for companies involved in the digital economy, with private financing agreements increasing from $11 billion in 2025 to $21 billion in the first half of 2026. Note: The report also noted that the IPOs in Southeast Asia's initial public offerings (IPOs) have exploded to $8.5 billion over the past year, more than double the $3.6 billion registered in the preceding period. This growth can largely be attributed to the release of shares in Singapore and Malaysia, reflecting a growing desire among investors for technology-based companies.
