This report analyses the Ethiopian 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.

Data center development in Ethiopia has gained momentum with investments from notable operators like Raxio Data Centres and Safaricom, marking a steady growth trajectory for the country’s data center infrastructure.

The push for smart city initiatives has spurred the development and adoption of digital platforms in Ethiopia. Collaborations such as the one between Ethio Telecom and the Addis Ababa city administration to build a smart city in Addis Ababa underscore this digital transformation. An important milestone was reached in July 2023 when a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the Republic of Korea to embark on a “Smart City” project in Ethiopia.

In terms of connectivity, Ethiopia is gearing up for the expansion of 4G and 5G networks, with telecom operators like Ethio Telecom committed to enhancing service quality to meet the growing demands of end-users. For instance, in June 2023, the World Bank made significant investments in Africa to support Safaricom Ethiopia in building and operating advanced 4G and 5G mobile networks.

The increasing demand for digitalization, a rising number of internet users, and the drive for digital transformation across various sectors are fueling the demand for colocation data centers, thereby contributing to the growth of the data center market in Ethiopia.

In the realm of mechanical infrastructure, the Ethiopia data center market is experiencing a surge in the adoption of air-based cooling solutions with robust redundancy (N+1). Additionally, operators are implementing power backup solutions with on-site fuel storage to ensure uninterrupted operations.

The adoption of renewable energy sources is gaining traction in the market, with the Ethiopian government spearheading initiatives to expand green energy resources. Notably, the government has ambitious plans to generate over 35,000 MW through geothermal energy by 2037.

The Ethiopia data center market is set to become more competitive, attracting new investors starting from 2022. Foreign investors have already begun entering the market, with key players including Raxio Data Centres, Safaricom, and wingu.africa. wingu.africa, for instance, inaugurated its inaugural facility in Addis Ababa, boasting an impressive 161 thousand square feet of space and a power capacity of approximately 10 MW when fully developed.

Addis Ababa has emerged as the preferred location for major investments from colocation service providers like wingu.africa and Safaricom.
