These efforts enable us to provide comprehensive end-to-end network services globally, benefitting customers in Asia and those looking to connect their networks from the world into Asia.Mizutani highlighted that their AI-driven insights estimate the target market size at approximately 2.2 billion euros. Annette Murphy, Colt's chief commercial officer, noted that the average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for business-to-business network services in the region from 2022 to 2027 is projected at 9.8 percent, surpassing growth rates in the United States and Europe."APAC is a key driver of growth, and I am delighted to announce our strategy to position ourselves as a global leader in digital infrastructure," Murphy added. This business expansion is part of our scheduled investment in APAC, totalling 100 million euros over the next three years.
