Digital infrastructure provider Vertiv is aiming for double-digit growth in the Philippines as it positions the country as a primary driver of its emerging markets segment amid a surge in demand from data centers and telecommunications.
Vertiv emerging markets senior director Jordan Koh said the company is “going out for growth” in the local market, supported by aggressive expansion and increased investment in both infrastructure and manpower.
Koh said the Philippines accounts for a significant portion of the growth within the company’s emerging markets portfolio.
“We are looking at double-digit growth. There are multiple growth spots that we are focusing on, and we are investing, including building up our team,” Koh said.
The rapid expansion of data centers remains the largest catalyst for this outlook, with both colocation and enterprise players scaling existing facilities or constructing new ones. Telecommunications firms are expected to maintain heavy network investments to remain competitive as new players enter the sector.
The growth in these high-tech industries has triggered a secondary rise in demand for specialized cooling, air-conditioning, and power management solutions essential for maintaining operational uptime.
Vertiv is also diversifying its reach into the semiconductor and broader industrial sectors. To support more demanding industrial workloads, the company is launching its UPS 6000 system.
Vertiv Philippines country head Nico Echavarria said a robust pipeline of infrastructure projects reinforces the company’s confidence in the local economy.
“The Philippines continues to present strong growth opportunities for us, particularly with sustained investments in digital infrastructure. We are seeing increasing demand not just from data centers and telcos, but also from industrial players that require more resilient and specialized power solutions,” Echavarria said.
The company’s strategy remains anchored on these high-demand verticals, with the Philippines playing a central role in its broader regional expansion plans.
