INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The Africa data center market will witness investments of USD 4.92 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 10.25% during the forecast period. The presence of industrial parks, the availability of land, and the government’s support motivate data center operators to develop data centers in the African region. 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 TRENDS

Government Support for Data Center Development

  • Local governments in several countries in the region focus on developing special economic zones (SEZs), which will generate wealth, attract investments, and develop employment opportunities. SEZs include free trade zones, industrial, high-tech, and business service parks.
  • In countries like South Africa and Kenya, the government has partnered with private entities to develop digital infrastructure, increasing the demand for data centers.
  • Governmental support in the fields of digitalization and tax incentives in the region will improve the development of facilities. The establishment of free trade zones and special economic zones will result in technological advancements and the use of innovative technologies that drive data center investments.

Growing Smart City Developments Will Drive the Demand for Advanced Technologies in the Industry

  • The local government funds smart city initiatives in the region as part of the increasing adoption of IoT, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence. Increasing urbanization, with most of the population falling in the low-income category, is forcing governments to utilize technology to solve the problem of the masses.
  • The development of smart cities will enable more data generation, leading to higher demand for data storage and computation capabilities. These factors will lead to an increase in the demand for edge data centers for HPC. It will also increase the commercial attractiveness of the region, leading to more organizations entering the industry.

SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS

  • The Africa data center market in IT infrastructure is majorly witnessing switches with up to 40GbE ports, and with expected growth in cloud data centers, switches with ports of over 40GbE are expected to witness traction in demand. With the growing demand for advanced infrastructure, the adoption of flash storage devices and blade servers is expected to grow in the coming years.
  • Sustainability requirements are expected to fuel the demand for the adoption of generators with sustainable fuel, such as hydrotreated vegetable oil and others, in coming years, followed by UPS systems with batteries such as lithium-ion and other types.
  • The market is expected to witness continued development of greenfield buildings across several countries with ample availability of land. Several new global contractors are expected to enter the industry following the entry of new global operators in the region.

GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS

  • Investments in the South Africa region dominated the Africa data center market, followed by emerging locations such as Nigeria and Kenya. Egypt is one of the rapidly emerging markets in terms of regional investments, with several major African investors focusing on developing data centers.
  • Other markets such as Ethiopia, Ghana, and others are expected to rise in coming years with increasing demand for data centers in the region.

VENDOR LANDSCAPE

  • The Africa data center market has the presence of IT infrastructure providers such as Arista Networks, Atos, Broadcom, Cisco System, NetApp, IBM, and others that are driving the availability of advanced IT infrastructure in the market.
  • The industry has a presence of several regional and global contractors and subcontractors, such as Atkins, Orascom Construction, Arup, Abbeydale Projects, United Egypt, and others.
