Amazon's expansion across Asia has become increasingly aggressive, with the company investing a cumulative $88 billion in India since 2010, making it the country's largest foreign investor as of the first half of 2026. Amazon has also established data center hubs in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, and has pledged to invest an additional $48 billion in India and more than $33 billion across Southeast Asia by 2039. In Vietnam, the company's plans include low Earth orbit satellite internet and a manufacturing hub for digital devices. Amazon's objective is to bring the digital transformation of India's 1.4 billion people and Southeast Asia's 680 million consumers into the ecosystem of Amazon Web Services (AWS). The investment is flowing into local economies; Malaysia's Sunway Construction reported a 56 percent increase in first-quarter net profit this year after securing data center projects, and in India, Larsen & Toubro has participated in developing sites for Amazon's Mumbai facilities. Across Southeast Asia, Amazon says it has provided cloud computing and AI training to 2.7 million people.
