According to Arizton’s latest research report, the Africa data center construction market will grow at a CAGR of 10.70% during 2022-2028. Increase in smart city initiatives, government support for data centers, growing adoption of artificial intelligence, migration from on-premises to colocation & managed services, and a rise in 5G network connectivity and edge data center deployment are significant trends in Africa data center construction market growth.  

Market Overview 

Africa is being called the next frontier of the data center industry as large numbers of data centers along with large power capacities are coming up. The data center demand in the region is fuelled by the rise in the adoption of 5G, artificial intelligence, government incentives, and smart city initiatives.  

The region is also witnessing cloud investments, which lead to data center growth. For instance, in April 2022, Kasi Cloud, a cloud-based service provider in the region, opened a data center in Nigeria for the expansion of its services. South Africa is one of the major data center markets witnessing the opening of cloud regions by Google, Oracle, and Amazon Web Services. The region witnessed acquisitions, where the MainOne data center was acquired by Equinix and Teraco by Digital Realty.
