Ah, São Paulo. A critical market for Latin American connectivity (just ask our Market Connectivity Score), and the perfect location for Capacity LATAM 2025.
The TeleGeography team was on site to share some of their latest research on the region. The big story is all about bandwidth demand.
The localization of content, applications, and compute in local hubs like São Paulo, paired with submarine cable delays, network buildout logistics, and the simple fact that bandwidth demand can't keep doubling, has slowed bandwidth demand in Latin America.
Fast Facts:
- Annual global bandwidth growth rates decreased from 45% in 2020 to 29% in 2024.
- Latin America’s bandwidth demand is forecasted to grow at a 30% CAGR from 2020 to 2030.
