COLOCATION DEMAND AND SUPPLY HIGHLIGHTS

The Saudi Arabia data center colocation market size was valued at USD 230 million in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 510 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 14.19% during the forecast period. Saudi Arabia has around 26 operational colocation data centers. Most colocation data centers are being developed according to Tier III standards. The country has both local and global operators such as stc (center3), Gulf Data Hub, Mobily, Quantum Switch Tamasuk and TONOMUS (ZeroPoint DC). Also, the Saudi Arabia data center colocation market is booming with the entry of several operators such as EDGNEX Data Centres by DAMAC, Agility, and Moammar Information Systems (MIS) & Saudi Fransi Capital. 

The region has significant potential for the growth of the data center industry in the coming years. The average occupancy of data center facilities is expected to reach around 83%, indicating that the vacancy rate will be only around 17% by 2029. Furthermore, center3 (stc) holds the highest market share of around 45% in Saudi Arabia as of March 2024, with a power capacity of over 85 MW. However, this will likely change during the forecast period as Mobily, TONOMOUS (ZeroPoint DC), and others are involved in developing additional data center facilities.
