MARKET OVERVIEW
The Africa data center colocation market was valued at USD 669.8 million in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 1.22 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 10.64%. Several factors, such as industrial parks, the ample availability of land, and the supportive approach of governments, are strong motivators for data center operators in the African region to establish and develop their facilities. For instance, Kasi Cloud bought four hectares of land to set up a cloud data center in Maiyegun, Lekki, an important commercial hub for multiple businesses. It is also the headquarters of national and global corporations and is well-connected internally and externally.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- South Africa plays an important role in the Africa data center colocation market, standing out as the primary driver of capacity in the region. With more than 60% of the IT power capacity, South Africa stands out, making it an attractive destination for substantial investments in data center facilities. Nigeria, Kenya, and other African countries follow this. Smart city initiatives, a rise in 5G network connectivity, and fiber connectivity are other factors driving continuous regional data center investments.
- The growing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fueling regional data center investments. An example is the strategic partnership between Huawei and ITDIA in Egypt, where they established the "Spark" initiative to promote AI-based investments and initiatives in the country.
- The Africa data center colocation market grows continuously in terms of connectivity by deploying new submarine cables such as Africa-1, 2Africa, India Europe Xpress (IEX), Equiano, and Medusa Submarine Cable System, and SeaMeWe – 6, which are expected to be ready for services during the forecast period.
MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS
Deployment of 5G Network Services
- The introduction of 5G in Africa will likely generate substantial data, further increasing investment in data centers. High internet connectivity, bandwidth, and less processing time is the feature of 5G technology. South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, and Ethiopia have witnessed the commercial launch of 5G in the region, while countries like Ghana, Algeria, Tanzania, and Congo were in the initial stages of their development.
- Vodacom, MTN, Ericsson, Orange, Ethio Telecom, and Rain are the main telecom operators in Africa involved in the commercial deployment of 5G services that partially or entirely cover 5G services in the country. Several pilot 5G projects are underway and expected to be deployed in the forecasted period.
Procurement of Renewable Energy Sources
- Due to the unavailability of proper power infrastructure in the African region, data centers were forced to develop their renewable energy infrastructure for power generation.
- MTN, a South Africa-based telecom company, operates four facilities in Kenya and other African countries, uses renewable energy to power its data center, and aims to be carbon-neutral by 2040. It has introduced the “Project Zero” program.
- In June 2022, Vantage Data Centers signed a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SolarAfrica, in which the company will procure 87 MWp of solar energy that will be used to power its new facility.
- The African region has abundant availability of solar energy. Most African countries are undertaking renewable energy strategies & visions to develop renewable energy projects and meet the region's carbon-neutral goals set by respective regional governments.
- In July 2022, the Nigerian government stated its commitment to sustainability for 2030. The government is planning to generate 30 GW of electricity from renewable sources by generating renewable energy as 30% of its total production.
- Egypt expects to increase the share of electricity produced from renewable sources to 42% by 2035.
SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS
- Data centers are investing in power infrastructure with a minimum of N+1 redundancy. In 2022, UPS systems accounted for a market share of more than 30% of the total electrical infrastructure in data centers.
- Data centers are investing in cooling infrastructure due to the high-temperature climate in some African countries. In 2022, cooling systems accounted for a market share of more than 65% of the total mechanical infrastructure in data centers. Air-based cooling contributed to more than 70% of the cooling technique in the African region.
- There has been significant growth in establishing data centers in the region, specifically in the Tier III and Tier IV certification categories. Many private and public entities, including those in the BFSI, education, and government sectors, have obtained Uptime Institute certifications during the design phase or for their completed facilities. This demonstrates a strong commitment to high reliability and operational excellence in data center infrastructure.
GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
- In the Africa data center colocation market South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria are the developed data center markets in the region.
- South Africa represents more than 60% of the African region's power capacity, followed by Nigeria and Kenya.
- Data center expansion in the African region is driven by the emergence of smart cities, special economic zones, and free trade zones, coupled with government incentives and exemptions. Major countries such as South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Ghana have spearheaded investments in smart city initiatives. Examples include the Lanseria and Nkuna smart city projects in South Africa and Nigeria's Eko Atlantic City, all contributing to the region's growing data center landscape.
- Easy availability of land and special economic zones drive the development of facilities in the region. For instance, Calabar free trade zones (CFTZ) in Nigeria, Tatu City, and Dongo Kundu SEZ in Kenya, where the government provides tax-based incentives.
KEY MARKET PARTICIPANTS' INITIATIVES
- The Africa data center colocation market is witnessing increased demand across industries, and acquisitions & joint ventures enable new players to enter the industry, attract customers, and capture a higher market share.
- Equinix expanded its footprint in the region by completing the acquisition of MainOne, including MDXi, in H1 2022.
- Digital Realty acquired a major stake of around 55% in Teraco.
- Some new entrants in the Africa data center colocation market include Vantage Data Centers, Open Access Data Centres (OADC), Airtel Nigeria, Agility, Cloudoon, Gulf Data Hub, Kasi Cloud, and Khazna Data Center.
- Colocation service providers such as Africa Data Centres, Digital Parks Africa, Raxio Data Centres, IXAfrica, Rack Centre, Digital Realty (iColo & Teraco), Equinix (MainOne), and Wingu are the major data center operators in the region. The African region is witnessing potential growth through these providers; for instance, Raxio Data Centres developing around five data center facilities across Angola, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Mozambique, and Tanzania, which are expected to be operational during the forecast period.
- In 2022, the Africa data center colocation market also witnessed the entry of investors like Vantage Data Centers, Airtel Nigeria, Cloudoon, Open Access Data Centres, and Kasi Cloud. For instance, Open Access Data Centres opened more than 20 data center facilities in South Africa and Nigeria.
