United Arab Emirates Data Center Market - Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities 2024-2029
The UAE data center market was valued at USD 1.50 Billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.95% from 2023-2029.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
The UAE has about 31 operational colocation data centers. Most colocation data centers are being developed according to Tier III standards. For instance, Khazna Data Centers’ DXB8 facility is built to Uptime Tier III standards.
Khazna Data Centers is among the top and largest data center operators in the UAE data center market. They are the first in the region to adopt biofuel and do a test run for their facilities’ generators.
Equinix is among the global colocation operators in the country that currently has its own DX1 and DX3 facilities in Dubai and has collocated two other facilities, DX2 in Dubai and AD1 in Abu Dhabi in Khazna Data Centers.
The UAE data center industry is also witnessing significant improvements in submarine and inland connectivity. For example, the FLAG Europe-Asia (FEA) is the biggest one spread across almost 17,400 miles, with Global Cloud Xchange as its owner, and has landing points in several regions in China, Egypt, Italy, Saudi Arabia, India, the UK, and other countries.
Significant deployment and adoption of 5G services, along with the development of smart cities across the UAE, has been fuelling data traffic and bolstering the growth of the UAE data center market.
