The country has local and global operators such as Equinix, Khazna Data Centers, and Gulf Data Hub. The market is currently witnessing the entry of new operators such as Pure Data Centres and Quantum Switch Tamasuk.

Furthermore, Khazna Data Centers holds the highest market share of over 59% in the UAE as of June 2024, with a power capacity of over 172 MW.
