How much does colocation cost in China?
55 operators run 184 tracked data centers in China; the largest by sites is China Telecom (39). No published wholesale $/kW benchmark exists for this market yet, so Coloprice shows none rather than an estimate. No operator in this market publishes a retail rate card; prices are quoted on request.
Wholesale benchmark
No published wholesale benchmark for this market. Coloprice does not estimate prices; request quotes below.
Published retail prices
No operator in China publishes a retail rate card on its website. That is normal for wholesale-led markets and says nothing about price level — request quotes with one brief.
Colocation providers in China
Operators with tracked data centers in China, sorted by sites, then published capacity. Sites / operational; MW is the sum of what each operator publishes for these sites. Some entries are hyperscaler or enterprise sites that do not sell colocation — check the facility card.

Availability in China: what the numbers do and do not say
Published megawatts describe how facilities are designed, not how much power is available to a new customer today. Vacancy is confirmed only in an operator's proposal for a specific hall and ready-for-service date. Where operators have told Coloprice that a market is sold out to a date, the facility cards say so; otherwise assume nothing and ask each provider the same question.
What the colocation price includes — and what it does not
- Included in the base fee: rack or cabinet space, a committed power circuit, cooling, physical security, and usually a basic remote-hands allowance.
- Billed separately: metered electricity above the allowance (or a per-kWh rate on retail contracts), cross-connects, IP transit, additional remote hands, and one-off setup or installation fees.
- Wholesale contracts add annual escalators, ramp schedules and power-commitment minimums; retail contracts add overage rates and bandwidth caps. Compare providers on the same committed kW, density, term and connectivity.

FAQ
Who are the largest colocation providers in China?
By tracked sites: China Telecom with 39. By published IT capacity: Princeton Digital Group with 252 MW. Facility counts and MW come from operator pages and registries; the table above lists every operator with a tracked site in China, including some that do not sell space.
Is there colocation capacity available in China right now?
Coloprice tracks 184 facilities here (177 operational, 7 under construction or announced) but does not track vacancy. Availability, rack density and delivery dates are confirmed only in a current proposal for a specific hall — send the same brief to several providers and compare.
How do I get comparable colocation quotes in China?
Send every provider one brief: committed kW, density per rack, redundancy, carriers and cloud on-ramps, start date, term and expansion rights. Ask for space, power, metered electricity, cross-connects, installation and remote hands as separate lines, then compare against the benchmark. The form below routes one brief to matching operators; no operator pays for position.
Get colocation quotes in China
One brief, several operators with capacity in China, same terms. Independent — no operator pays for position.
