Egypt Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2026-2031

EGYPT DATA CENTER MARKET SIZE & OUTLOOK

The Egypt data center market size was valued at USD 305 million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 865 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 18.97% during the forecast period. Egypt is experiencing continuous surge in data center investments owing to the country’s strategic location, surge in adoption of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, big data, and Internet of Things, increasing digitalization, government support for data centers, increasing cloud computing services, deployment of 5G connectivity, adoption of sustainability measures among data center operators, surge in submarine cable and inland connectivity, and other factors.

Cumulatively from 2026 to 2031, the power capacity of Egypt data center market is expected to reach around 254 MW, growing with an absolute growth rate of around 225% from 2025 to 2031, owing to the development of large-scale Artificial Intelligence-ready data centers across the country.

The government of Egypt is making substantial efforts to advance sustainability across the country by implementing several sustainability initiatives. The Egyptian government aims to generate around 42% of Egypt’s electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and increase this share to approximately 60% by 2040. Data center operators are committed to the nation’s broader sustainability goals, and the companies are adopting various sustainability measures like powering data centers with clean energy, replacing diesel generators with hydrogenated vegetable oil-powered generators, replacing lead-acid batteries with lithium-ion batteries, incorporating advanced cooling technologies to minimize the data center environmental impact, and reducing the facilities’ greenhouse gas emissions.

In Egypt, most of the data center operators prioritize developing their data centers in Cairo as the city is Egypt’s capital and one of the largest economic hubs in the country. In recent years, other Egyptian cities like Ramadan City, October City, Ain Sukhna, and others have been gaining traction for data center development. The country also houses around nine operational Free Trade Zones and four newly planned Free Trade Zones that support enterprises across a wide range of sectors, including data centers, to establish and operate their businesses efficiently by providing various benefits like 100% foreign ownership, exemption from corporate and income tax, exempted or reduced customs duties, tax incentives, and other benefits.

In 2026, the Government of Egypt introduced a specialized national research cloud computing platform, which has been designed to deliver secure and high-performance cloud computing services, including GPU-powered computing services to support universities, research institutes, and academic centers across the country to strengthen research efficiency, and accelerate artificial intelligence development to drive broader digital transformation across the nation.

In January 2025, the National Council for Artificial Intelligence (NCAI) unveiled the second edition of Egypt’s National AI Strategy 2025–2030 that aims to build an inclusive artificial intelligence ecosystem in Egypt to support the country's Digital Egypt vision. The strategy focuses on developing a national AI model, strengthening digital infrastructure, advancing innovation and talent development, and positioning Egypt as one of the leading AI hubs in Africa.

EGYPT DATA CENTER MARKET - KEY HIGHLIGHTS

1. In Egypt, data center operations are regulated by the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority under the Telecommunications Law No. 10 of 2003, and the companies, which aim to offer data center services like colocation, cloud, or server hosting, must secure an official approval from the authority before starting their operations.
2. Egypt is expanding its digital economy through the ICT 2030 Strategy, which encourages investments to improve digital infrastructure, build technology parks, and increase the contribution of the ICT sector to the country’s overall economic growth.
3. Egypt consists of approximately 13 operational colocation data centers, of which nine facilities are in Cairo alone. Most of the data center facilities in Egypt are being designed to meet Tier III specifications of the Uptime Institute in every infrastructure. The nation is witnessing the development of around nine colocation data centers, which are either in planned or under construction stages.
4. The enforcement of Egypt Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020 is leading to increase data center investments in Egypt by building more trust among customers to store their data in data centers and cloud platforms, as this law clearly sets rules on how personal data should be collected, stored, and used, and also requires data center and cloud service providers to follow stringent security measures to keep data safe and within the country.
5. The data center firms are sourcing funds from various financial institutions to expand data center service offerings across Egypt. For example, in September 2025, Khazna Data Centers secured a fund of around $2.62 billion from a consortium of firms to expand data center service offerings across North Africa and Middle Eastern nations.
6. Egypt is witnessing gradual surge in digitalization accounting for approximately 121 million active cellular mobile connections as of early 2026 with an internet penetration standing at around 82.7% during the same period. The rising digitalization across the country is slated to increase the need for data centers in the forecast period.
7. Several businesses across diverse industries in Egypt are transitioning towards cloud platforms to host their IT infrastructure and workloads in cloud platforms for better efficiency. For example, in December 2024, Al Dahra, the Egyptian agriculture services provider migrated the company’s IT infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS), to enhance operational efficiency and reduce operational costs by 60%. The rise in enterprise cloud migration across multiple sectors is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period.
