AFRICA DATA CENTER MARKET OVERVIEW
Africa data center market witnessed investments of USD 2,663 million in 2021 and will witness investments of USD 5,464 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 12.73% during 2022-2027. Data centers in Africa are attracting significant investments in recent years, led by South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. There are more than 9 data centers in Africa, each adding a white floor area of around 30,000 square feet or more each in 2021. Several country's governments are taking initiatives by developing special economic zones and industrial parks, which provide tax exemptions for data center development.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- The era of hyperscale Africa has begun with the significant interest shown by both global as well as local operators in building data centers with a capacity of over 20 MW.
- In October 2021, Vantage Data Centers announced its entry to the Africa region, with around USD 1 billion investment towards the construction of a data center, with an initial hyperscale facility in Johannesburg, South Africa.
- In December 2021, Equinix announced its plan to acquire MainOne for around USD 320 million to expand its operations in Africa.
- In January 2022, Digital Realty announced that it is in the process of acquiring a majority stake in Teraco Data Environments, wherein the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of H1, 2022.
- Cloud adoption is likely to grow up to 25% annually in South Africa and expects to generate up to USD 1.5 billion by 2024. SaaS is being widely adopted among organizations in South Africa, followed by IaaS solutions in the country's data center and networking market.
- In September 2021, Eskom, a utility firm based in South Africa, announced to invest around USD 7 billion for renewable energy plans for the next nine years. This will drive the demand in the South African data center market.
- The increase in submarine cable investment and fiber connectivity is likely to attract more data center investments in the region. South Africa has the highest number of submarine cable deployments, followed by Nigeria and Kenya.
- In terms of area, South Africa is the major contributor in adding the white floor area of more than 230 thousand square feet, followed by Nigeria, which added more than 100 thousand square feet of area, and also Egypt, with around 80 thousand square feet. Thus, there is a lot of opportunities in for Africa colocation market.
AFRICA DATA CENTER MARKET SEGMENTS
The Africa data center market is segmented on the basis of-
- Infrastructure
- IT infrastructure
- Electrical Infrastructure
- Mechanical Infrastructure
- Cooling Systems
- Cooling Technique
- General Construction
- Tier Standard
- Geography
AFRICA DATA CENTER SEGMENTATION
- IT Infrastructure: Around USD 20 billion will be spent on procuring IT infrastructure for data centers in Africa during 2022-2027. Adopting cloud, big data, and IoT will increase the deployment of high-end applications and need more efficient systems for processing workloads.
- CRAC & CRAH units: Spending on CRAC and CRAH units accounts for 40% of the overall cooling systems in African data centers. With the growing number of data centers and increase in the rack densities & power capacity, data center operators have started to adopt multiple CRAC & CRAH units spread across multiple data halls.
- Africa data center market growth will bring in USD 900 million revenue opportunities for UPS systems suppliers from 2022-2027. Hyperscale investment will grow the adoption of lithium-ion batteries during the forecast period as their price will decline.
GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLOOK
- South Africa: South Africa still dominates with over 50% share in data center investments in 2021. The market is witnessing the entry of global data center colocation service providers through independent data center developments and partnerships or via acquisitions by major colocation providers in the country. In 2021, Teraco Data Environments, Africa Data Centre, NTT Global Data Centers were the major data center investors.
- Nigeria: Over 150 MW of data center capacity will be added to the market during 2022-2027. The shift of industry sectors such as BFSI, education, retail, manufacturing, and others toward new technologies such as cloud and big data is likely to aid the growth of the market during the forecast period. Microsoft has partnered with the Nigerian government to launch projects in the country aimed at promoting connectivity, upskilling citizens, and increasing digitalization.
- Egypt: Over USD 600 million will be the cumulative investment made on data center infrastructure during 2022-2027. Government support is fueling opportunities for the data center market in Egypt. In August 2021, the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) announced a framework for the development of data centers in the country, offering hosting and cloud computing services. This framework is aimed at making the market attractive to hyperscale operators and cloud service providers.
VENDOR LANDSCAPE
- Global cloud service providers such as AWS, Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle are expanding their presence with new cloud regions. So there is an opportunity for vendors to grow in suburban areas and fuel the demand for hyperscale data centers in Africa.
- In December 2021, Equinix announced its plan to acquire MainOne data centers with a sum of around USD 320 million to expand operations in Africa.
- The new entrants have a strong opportunity with new innovative technologies of infrastructure in the Africa cloud data center. In addition, the threat of acquisitions is to be also high since global data center operators acquire existing data centers in the region.
- In 2020, NetApp acquired two companies - Talon Storage Solutions, a next-generation software-defined storage solutions provider for USD 23 million, and Cloud Jumper Corporation, virtual desktop infrastructure, and remote desktop services solution provider, for USD 34 million.
