Chicago, Feb. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Africa data center market by investment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 12.73% during the period 2021−2027. In 2021, South Africa was the major contributor in terms of investment, followed by Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, and Ethiopia.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS OFFERED IN THE REPORT:
- The era of hyperscale Africa has begun with significant interest shown by both global as well as local operators in building data centers with capacity of over 20 MW. Global companies are investing heavily in the market, by way of acquisitions, such as that of MainOne by Equinix, and Teraco Data Environments and Medallion Data Centres by Digital Realty.
- The Africa market has also witnessed the entry of new entrants such as Open Access Data Centres (OADC), currently developing data centers in Lagos and Durban with data centers planned in 20 countries in Africa, and Vantage Data Centers, which is building a data center in Johannesburg in South Africa.
- In 2021, South Africa was the major investment contributor in Africa, with over 50% of the investments, followed by Nigeria and Kenya. Advancements in 5G, the availability of strong submarine and inland connectivity, and increasing adoption of cloud make South Africa an attractive investment location.
- Several government bodies in Africa have taken initiatives to develop special economic zones (SEZs), free trade zones, industrial parks, high-tech parks, and business service parks that provide tax exemptions for data center development. For instance, Kenya aims to set up special economic zones in Mombasa, Lamu, and Kisumu to attract data center investment.
- Governments in Africa are also taking initiatives to add more renewable energy production to their electricity grid in order to cater to the increased requirements from data center operators. For instance, in August 2021, Morocco commissioned the 300 MW Boujdour wind farm, part of an 850 MW integrated wind energy project.
