Oman Data Center Market – Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2026-2031

OMAN DATA CENTER MARKET SIZE & OUTLOOK

The Oman data center market size was valued at USD 288 million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 492 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.34% during the forecast period. The data center market in Oman is evolving from an emerging to a developing market, driven by national digital strategies, increasing cloud adoption, expanding connectivity, and robust regional demand. Colocation services are experiencing notable growth, drawing interest from both global and local operators. With its strategic geographical advantages and supportive policies, Oman is establishing itself as an increasingly appealing data center destination in the Middle East.

Strategic partnerships, such as the collaboration between Equinix and Omantel to open the Salalah carrier-neutral site, highlight the rise of Oman as a regional interconnection gateway. The cable landings by Salalah and the demand for enterprise solutions in Muscat create low-latency routing options across Asia, Africa, and Europe. These connectivity assets attract network, cloud, and content providers looking for regional peering points.

The Oman data center market in terms of investment, valued at $288.0 million in 2025, is expected to grow to around $492.0 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 9.34%. The market is also being driven by increasing strategic partnerships between domestic companies and international firms. Overall growth is expected to accelerate during the forecast period.

OMAN DATA CENTER MARKET - KEY HIGHLIGHTS

1. Oman has about 11 operational colocation data centers. Most colocation data centers are being developed according to Tier III standards.
2. The cost of building data centers in Oman is relatively high, averaging $8–$9 million per MW, higher than in several other small markets. The costs are likely to increase YoY due to factors such as increasing interest rates, inflation, and government policies.
3. To attract greater foreign investment, international companies are increasingly collaborating to expand digital infrastructure in Oman, such as the partnership between Equinix and Omantel. In November 2024, the two partners officially launched the Salalah SN1 carrier-neutral data center, marking the second carrier-neutral facility of Oman and strengthening its global interconnection capabilities.
4. Local operators in Oman are increasingly adopting captive solar solutions to reduce carbon intensity and stabilize long-term energy costs. For instance, Oman Data Park has initiated a phased on-site solar project (initial capacity of 1.4 MW) to directly power its facilities, lowering reliance on grid-based conventional energy. This scalable model can be replicated by other data center investors seeking sustainable operations and improved cost efficiency.
