Nigeria data center market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.02% during 2022-2027
This report analyses the Nigeria data center market share. It elaboratively analyses the existing and upcoming facilities and investments in IT, electrical, mechanical infrastructure, general construction, and tier standards. It discusses market sizing and investment estimation for different segments.
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.
