MARKET OUTLOOK

South Africa data center market will witness investments of USD 3,228.3 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 11.15% during 2022-2027. South Africa is the top data center market in Africa. The increase in internet and social media penetration driven by COVID-19, deployment of 5G, improved inland connectivity, and low electricity and land prices make South Africa an attractive market for investors.

  • Johannesburg is the primary location for data center investment in South Africa, followed by Cape Town, Durban, Centurion, and other cities such as Port Elizabeth.
  • Hybrid cloud services are gaining increased traction in South Africa. Most enterprises use private and public cloud environments to improve information sharing and efficiently manage data in the country.
  • The increasing investment in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind will drive interest among data center operators to sign PPAs to procure renewable energy to power facilities in the country.
  • The development of Special Economic Zones (SEZs), Free Trade Zones (FTZs), and smart city investments will also boost the data center market in South Africa.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE REPORT

  • South Africa has over 40 operational colocation data centers. Most colocation data centers are being designed according to Tier III standards. For instance, Digital Parks Africa’s Samrand data center has received Tier III certification from Uptime Institute for its design documents.
  • The COVID-19 impact and remote working have led to an increase in data generation at local levels. In addition, migration from on-premises to colocation, cloud, and managed services will boost the data center market in South Africa.
  • Africa Data Centres and Teraco (Digital Realty) are among the top operators in the country and have planned to increase their footprint with new data center investments and expansion activities.
  • The introduction of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) in South Africa will protect the confidentiality of the citizens' personal data, which will boost the market.
  • The country is also witnessing improvements in submarine and inland connectivity. For instance, 2Africa, the longest subsea cable, will connect South Africa with other countries such as India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Spain, the UK, Oman, and other countries.
  • South Africa has multiple smart city projects. For Instance, The Lanseria Smart City will be built near the Lanseria International Airport, near Johannesburg, and will take around 25 years to complete.
