Kenya Data Center Market – Dynamics

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has significantly increased data traffic from March 2020. The demand for data centers rose because of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in heightened access to internet-related services aided by nation-wide curfew imposed by governments. The Kenyan digital economy has boomed post the COVID-19 pandemic due to the adoption of digital platforms in retail and wholesale businesses across the country and prompted employees to work from home that resulted in the need for remote management of facilities. Colocation service providers witnessed a strong uptake of their data center spaces by existing customers owing to the growth of COVID-19-induced demand. In Kenya, data center operators have also taken precautionary measures to manage the available workforce and to monitor their existing facilities without any service disruption. Impact of operations is low in the country.

Key Drivers and Trends fueling Market Growth:

  • Cloud Adoption driving Data Center Demand
  • Rising Investments in Fiber Connectivity
