IPv4 Price in APNIC Region 2026
The Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) serves one of the fastest-growing internet markets in the world. Despite this growth, APNIC-registered IPv4 addresses historically traded at a discount relative to ARIN and RIPE space. In 2026, that gap is narrowing as demand from Southeast Asia, India, and the broader Pacific accelerates. APNIC transfer market activity has increased substantially since 2023.
Current Market Prices
| Block Size | IPs | Price Range per IP |
|---|---|---|
| /24 | 256 | $35 - $50 |
| /23 | 512 | $34 - $48 |
| /22 | 1,024 | $33 - $47 |
| /21 | 2,048 | $32 - $46 |
| /20 | 4,096 | $31 - $45 |
These ranges reflect current secondary market conditions. Prices vary by sub-region, with blocks in AU, JP, and SG tending toward the higher end.
Price Trend 2022-2026
APNIC IPv4 prices followed the global trajectory but lagged slightly behind ARIN and RIPE. From a peak near $50 per address in 2021, prices corrected to approximately $30-$38 in 2022-2023. Recovery began in 2024, driven by rapid data center expansion in India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. In 2026, APNIC prices have recovered to $33-$50 depending on block quality and sub-region.
What Affects IPv4 Price in APNIC
Block size - Similar to other regions, /24 remains the most liquid unit in the APNIC transfer market. Larger blocks can take longer to transact due to a smaller pool of buyers capable of absorbing them.
Region - Sub-regional variations are significant in APNIC. Blocks originally allocated to AU, JP, SG, or NZ command stronger prices and faster transaction timelines. Blocks from less-connected economies may require additional routing reputation review by buyers.
Utilization history - APNIC’s Whois database provides allocation history, though completeness varies. Blocks with verified continuous use records are preferred.
Routing history - APNIC sub-regions vary in their representation in global BGP tables. Buyers targeting specific markets in Southeast Asia may pay premiums for blocks with established routing in those regions.
Price Difference: APNIC vs RIPE vs ARIN
APNIC addresses typically trade 10-20% below comparable ARIN space and 5-15% below RIPE NCC space. For buyers whose primary routing infrastructure is in Asia-Pacific, APNIC space offers excellent value and regional routing advantages. For buyers seeking global routing, RIPE or ARIN space may be preferable despite the higher cost.
