MARKET OUTLOOK

Nigeria data center market size crossed USD 244.8 million in 2021 and is expected to surpass USD 510.4 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 13.02% during 2021-2027. The growth of the Nigeria data center market is attributed to factors such as the launch of 5G, the interest shown in the market by global operators such as Equinix and Digital Realty, the shift from on-premise facilities to the cloud and colocation data center by enterprises, among other factors.

Implementing the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) will also be a significant driver for the country's increase in data center development, resulting in data localization initiatives and an increase in local data storage and computation requirements. The future demand for data centers, especially from a colocation perspective, will come from sectors such as cloud and large technology companies to expand their operations in Western Africa. The Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) in Nigeria aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the overall energy mix to 23% in 2025 and 36% in 2030.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • The country is the largest ICT market in Africa, accounting for 29% of internet usage. Commercial 5G was launched in the country in September 2022 by MTN Nigeria, which will further contribute to internet penetration in the country.
  • The average utilization for Nigeria-based colocation centers is 50-60%. Operators are currently witnessing demand from cloud operators, large technology companies, as well as from BFSI, content service providers, and telecom sectors, which will drive future colocation demand in the country.
  • Currently, 80% of the power generated in Nigeria is via natural gas, with much of the remaining being generated via coal. Nigeria is currently the largest user of oil-fired backup generators in Africa.
  • In September 2022, The Nigerian Government signed an LOI with seven companies, namely Iron Mountain, AB InBev, HP, Akamai, Rife International, Lady Lawyer Foundation, and Unilever, for the clean energy transition in Nigeria. This initiative is named The Clean Energy Demand Initiative (CEDI).
  • The Nigerian government has launched a ‘Solar Power Naija’ project, a program aiming for 5 million solar connections for off-grid communities as part of the Economic Sustainability Plan.
