The GCC data center market by investments is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.14% from 2023-2029.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • The GCC country governments announced various projects, including the Dubai Metaverse Strategy, the UAE Digital Government Strategy, the Cloud-First Policy, Kuwait's Renewable Energy Policy, the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), and others, to accomplish the market's digitization, security, and adoption of renewable energy.
  • The internet-using population and internet penetration rates across the GCC region have risen, especially in the past few years. Saudi Arabia leads that list, followed by the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and other countries.
  • GCC has developed strategies to achieve significant results by generating power from renewable sources in the coming years. For instance, the UAE has committed over USD 160 billion to renewable energy projects as a part of its ambition to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
  • Smart cities are rising in the GCC region, with the UAE and Saudi Arabia leading. UAE’s Dubai and Abu Dhabi are among the world's smartest cities, with a global smart city index ranking of 17 and 13, respectively. They have several existing and upcoming smart city initiatives. The NEOM is one of the world’s highly anticipated smart cities that will cost Saudi Arabia about USD 500 billion and is set to take the world by storm when it becomes operational by 2025.
  • The UAE and Saudi Arabia lead on this front, using AI to control the power grid and distribution. It is also helping operators identify the best time to generate, store, and use the energy produced. This gives them the added benefit of handling power generation and supply remotely.
  • Governments of the GCC countries have taken initiatives to educate people and upgrade their skills for data center operations. For instance, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has collaborated with Kuwaiti government organizations to provide cloud computing training and certification programs to aid workforce development.

Methodology


Our research comprises a mix of primary and secondary research. The secondary research sources that are typically referred to include, but are not limited to, company websites, annual reports, financial reports, company pipeline charts, broker reports, investor presentations and SEC filings, journals and conferences, internal proprietary databases, news articles, press releases, and webcasts specific to the companies operating in any given market.

Primary research involves email interactions with the industry participants across major geographies. The participants who typically take part in such a process include, but are not limited to, CEOs, VPs, business development managers, market intelligence managers, and national sales managers. We primarily rely on internal research work and internal databases that we have populated over the years. We cross-verify our secondary research findings with the primary respondents participating in the study.
