This expansion has extended its 5G outdoor coverage to 97.21 percent in the National Capital Region and 90.28 percent in key cities in Visayas and Mindanao.
  • The Philippines currently has only 22,405 combined cell towers operated by the three major telecom companies. The introduction of the common tower policy is expected to improve the rollout of mobile networks. In addition to the Government's efforts, DICT and the Bases and Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) tendered the first phase of its National Broadband Plan valued at USD 20 million, which is the rollout of a bypass cable and fiber-optic network.
  • Overall, with increasing 5G deployment and fiber connectivity, the demand for data center construction is expected to increase, leading to a major demand for data center servers.

Rack Server to Hold Significant Share

  • Rack servers are compact and efficient devices that can handle a variety of computing tasks and are commonly used in data center environments, where space is at a premium. In the Philippines, various end-users prefer rack server as it is more cost-effective than blade servers, especially for organizations that don't require the high density and modularity of blade server solutions.
  • With cloud technologies viewed as an enabler of digital transformations, 16% of Philippine businesses said they are now more supportive of using cloud-based IT solutions to grow their businesses than they were prior to COVID-19.
  • Given the increasing digital adoption, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence intends to invest more in the Philippines after opening a data center. The company was considering expanding the capacity of its data center to accommodate the growing use of digital platforms. Around 88% of the companies use cloud-based solutions in the Philippines, which has a majority of the demand consumption for rack servers.
  • In 2022, there were over a million micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) businesses in the Philippines, reflecting a slight increase from the previous year's total.
