Market Overview
The growth of the GCC countries’ data center market is driven by factors such as increased cloud adoption, government initiatives, and robust infrastructure, including strong inland and submarine cable connectivity. Key cities fueling this growth include Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Neom, and Kuwait City, with emerging hubs like Doha and Sharjah gaining attention. Investments in data centers are growing due to rising internet penetration and demand for cloud services, with major operators such as Batelco, Ooredoo, and Mobily leading the market. The region’s smart cities are driving the need for edge and modular data centers.
The GCC currently has 64 submarine cables, with more expected in 2025-2027, including prominent cables like 2Africa, SeaMeWe-6, and ANDROMEDA. Several subsea cable projects have been announced, such as partnerships between Telecom Egypt, Mobily, and Ooredoo to enhance regional connectivity.
Global cloud giants, including Google, AWS, Microsoft, Oracle, Alibaba, and Huawei, are also investing in dedicated cloud regions and data centers across the region. Notable upcoming developments include Du’s deployment of Oracle Alloy in the UAE and Tencent Cloud’s planned expansion into the UAE market.
Rise of AI Adoption in GCC Data Centers and the Need for Advanced Cooling Solutions
In 2024, the GCC region witnessed significant advancements in AI infrastructure development. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have been at the forefront of AI initiatives, with Qatar investing $2.5 billion to enhance AI capabilities, Saudi Arabia planning to develop AI-powered data centers like Oxagon, and the UAE setting up AI centers with Microsoft and G42. This surge in AI adoption is driving a substantial increase in the demand for advanced data center technologies, including higher rack power density and more powerful servers. As a result, cooling solutions, such as liquid immersion cooling, are essential to handle the heat generated from increased computational power, with traditional cooling methods needing to be replaced to maintain efficiency. Additionally, efficient power supply management is critical to support the expanding AI infrastructure in the region.
Expanding Data Center Market in the GCC: Saudi Arabia and UAE Lead Growth
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the primary investment hubs in the rapidly growing GCC data center market. The UAE, particularly Dubai and Abu Dhabi, is set to account for more than half of the upcoming data center space, with leading companies like Khazna Data Centers, Gulf Data Hub, Moro Hub, and Equinix driving the expansion.
The GCC data center construction market is projected to grow from 802,000 square feet in 2024 to 2,014,000 square feet by 2030, at a CAGR of 16.59%. The UAE’s robust infrastructure and global connectivity make it a key regional hub for data centers. Additionally, brownfield development in industrial parks and free trade zones, especially in Abu Dhabi, supports this growth. Meanwhile, modular data centers are on the rise, particularly in Abu Dhabi. Emerging economies like Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman are also increasing data center investments, signaling the GCC’s strategic importance in cloud services, edge computing, and global data networks.
