AI and data centres in Africa: US$6.8 Billion in investments against a US$1.5 trillion digital opportunity

    Africa is increasingly demonstrating a clear and collective ambition to build a strong, innovative, and globally competitive digital economy. As digitalisation accelerates and converges with the rise of the artificial intelligence economy, the continent is positioning itself as a technology market capable of generating up to US$1.5 trillion in economic value.

    Growth projections underline this momentum. The African data centre market is expected to reach US$6.81 billion by 2030, up from US$3.49 billion in 2024, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. This expansion highlights rising demand for local computing capacity, stronger data sovereignty, and more efficient digital services.
