Collier’s new report highlights the Asia Pacific’s rise as a global tech powerhouse
The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is cementing its position as a global tech hub with India, China, and Japan dominating the world's top tech markets for 2025, according to a recently released report from Colliers.
The report surveyed more than 200 global markets based on their talent acquisition, venture capital (VC) funding, labour index, and other key metrics, highlighting India and China's global dominance in tech talent. India, in particular, has six cities in the top 10 list for tech talent acquisition.
Thanks to the country's thriving tech job market, the tech sector also remains one of the top sources of demand for office space across India. In the report, tech companies leased over 10 million sq. ft. of office space across 7 of India's major cities. They contributed 40% of demand for conventional spaces and nearly 50% for flex spaces.
Arpit Mehrotra, Office Services Managing Director at Colliers India, said Indian tech-oriented cities such as Bengaluru and Hyderabad, whose mature tech ecosystem, established infrastructure, and lower operational costs, account for nearly 70% of the tech talent in the Asia Pacific region.
"With the availability of high-quality office space, robust IT infrastructure, and cost competitiveness, India's office markets will continue to feature prominently among the top destinations for technology-led global economic expansion," he added.
India is also the preferred location for global capability centres (GCC), which are strategic hubs for developing in-house capabilities, especially in the technology sector. In 2025, tech companies comprised 41% of total GCC leasing, with Bengaluru, Delhi, and Hyderabad making up 85% of the demand.
"As global firms continue to scale up and evolve, tech GCCs are poised to drive office space demand in India, led by cost arbitrage as compared to global counterparts," said Vimal Nadar, National Director and Head of Research at Colliers India.
Other key findings of the report include:
"Asia Pacific is drawing significant global attention for its unmatched tech talent density and strong venture capital momentum, particularly in India and China. Bengaluru boasts the world's largest pool of data scientists, while Beijing leads the region in tech sector productivity. Meanwhile, cities such as Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney, and Singapore are emerging as world-class innovation hubs. These markets aren't just supporting global tech expansion – they're leading it," said Mike Davis, Managing Director for Office Services at Colliers Asia Pacific.
