      CHICAGO, Aug. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In-depth analysis and data-driven insights on the impact of COVID-19 included in this Nigeria data center market report.

      The Nigeria data center market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 17% during the period 2020−2026. The Nigeria data center market research report includes market size in terms of area, investment, power capacity, and colocation revenues. Get insights on 11 existing and 9 upcoming facilities spread across 2 cities, including Lagos and Abuja.

      Key Highlights Offered in the Report:  

      1.  Nigeria is one of the fastest-growing data center markets in Africa. The growth in population and internet users, rise in digitalization, and government initiatives will drive data center opportunities in the country.

      2.  Lagos, the capital city, is the major data center hub in Nigeria, with 10 data center facilities contributing to over 90% of the existing power capacity in the country. Low labor and land costs, and the increased adoption of advanced technology make the city an attractive investment location.

      3.  21st Century Technology (21CTL) is building an edge hyperscale data center in Nigeria, with future buildouts planned in Apapa, Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Maryland, and Ikeja. MainOne and Rack Centre are also expanding their facilities in the country.

      Nigeria Data Center Market – Segmentation

      • In Nigeria, cloud-based services, IoT, and AI coupled with the adoption of high-power computing servers are the major driving factors for the growth of data centers. Mission-critical and high-performance server systems are likely to dominate the market owing to the increase in 5G deployment and IoT related technology.
      • Power instability across Nigeria leads to the installation of power backup equipment such as generators among service operators, with diesel generators leading the Nigerian market. In terms of electrical infrastructure, generators are mostly used in N+1 redundant configuration.
      • Data center facilities open and under construction from 2020 to June 2021 added over 400 rack cabinets. Some prominent vendors offering 42U rack units include Cisco Systems, Eaton, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Rittal, Schneider Electric, and Vertiv Group.
