  "account": "Mexico's data centre sector is poised for significant growth, with US$20.63 billion in direct investment projected between 2026 and 2031, according to the Mexican Data Center Association (MEXDC). This investment is expected to drive a broader economic impact, amounting to US$61.89 billion. The report, titled 2026 Mexico Data Center Market, outlines the investment outlook and was published by Mexico Business News on 14 July 2026. Key hubs for this expansion include Querétaro, the State of Mexico, the Mexico City metropolitan area, and the Bajío region, which includes Guanajuato. Major players in the sector, such as Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Oracle, Equinix, Odata, and Kio Networks, are contributing to this growth. The investment includes the construction and equipment of data centres (direct investment) as well as the subsequent ripple effects on the economy (indirect investment), such as demand for power, cooling, and maintenance. While the forecast is an industry projection and not a government promise, it reflects confidence in the sector's expansion due to increasing demand for cloud and AI services. Investors and observers should monitor actual developments as the industry grows, particularly focusing on infrastructure and workforce development in these key clusters.",
