Question · Q3 2025
Xu Yunjie from CICC inquired about VNET's utilization rate target for wholesale IDC business over the next two years, given the fast delivery pace. She also asked about the main drivers behind the consistent MRR growth in the retail IDC business and its future sustainability.
Answer
CFO Qiyu Wang stated that the utilization rate for mature wholesale IDCs is around 95%, with future targets dependent on delivery volume, and more information to be provided in Q4. He expressed confidence in a steady long-term increase. For retail MRR growth, he attributed it to external factors like customer demand shifting to include smart computing alongside storage and generic computing, and internal efforts such as repurposing cabinets, offering value-added software services (networking, storage networking), and high-density cabinet transformation. He believes sustainability is strong as long as customer demand persists.
