Gartner: MENA IT Spending To Reach $169 Billion In 2026
IT spending in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is projected to total $169 billion in 2026, an increase of 8.9% from 2025, according to the latest forecast by Gartner, Inc. 'The MENA region is rapidly emerging as a global tech powerhouse, with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) leveraging its stability, infrastructure and forward-looking policies to attract global partners and build digital skills that empower innovation and support resilient AI-driven economies,' said Mim Burt, Practice VP at Gartner. 'Even amid global economic and geopolitical uncertainty, chief information officers (CIOs) in MENA are making strategic investments in AI, intelligent automation and multi-cloud strategies, while strengthening cyber defenses and advancing talent upskilling. These efforts are not only driving innovation and economic diversification but also contributing to the region's projected IT spending growth in 2026.' Data Center Systems Remain Highest-Growth Segment in 2026 Despite Slower Momentum Growth in data center systems spending in MENA is expected to remain strong in 2026, though the pace will ease compared to 2025. Spending is projected to increase 37.3% in 2026, making it the highest-growing IT segment, but at a slower rate than this year as the market shifts from rapid build-out to incremental and sustained investment (see Table 1). 'Data center system spending is expected to accelerate as MENA CIOs and technology leaders invest in AI-enabled software and AI-optimized infrastructure,' said Eyad Tachwali, VP, Advisory at Gartner. 'This surge is largely fueled by pent-up demand for generative AI (GenAI) and advanced machine learning, which depend on robust computing power for large-scale data processing. Most of this demand is being driven by governments, hyperscalers, technology providers and organizations focused on developing and deploying AI models, rather than traditional enterprises or consumers.' AI Integration Reshapes IT Spending Priorities in MENA Software spending in MENA is expected to grow 13.9% to $20.4 billion in 2026, as organizations accelerate adoption of GenAI capabilities. Gartner predicts that by 2028, 75% of global software spend will be on solutions with GenAI functionality. 'CIOs will increasingly be offered embedded GenAI capabilities in enterprise applications, productivity and developer tools, more advanced large language models as well as AI-optimized servers to support AI-as-a-service,' said Burt. 'Providers are also exploring new pricing models across software and hardware to drive revenue.' As AI becomes central to innovation, its integration into software and IT services is fundamentally reshaping spending priorities across the region, with IT services spending in MENA projected to grow 8.3% in 2026. 'With the rapid acceleration of AI infrastructure and adoption in MENA, CIOs must move beyond GenAI as a productivity tool and embed it into the heart of their business strategy,' said Tachwali. 'The real competitive edge will come from building strong data foundations, composable technology platforms and cultivating AI-fluent talent—core enablers for unlocking differentiated value from AI.'

TikTok removes 16.5 million+ videos across MENA region in H1 2025
Through the first quarter of 2025, from January to March 2025, TikTok removed more than 16.5 million videos across the MENA region for violating its Community Guidelines. The figures represent videos taken down across Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, the UAE and Morocco, offering a representative view of TikTok's enforcement efforts across the region during this period. In Q1 2025 alone, TikTok banned 849,976 live hosts and proactively interrupted more than 1.5 million live streams across Egypt, the UAE, Iraq, Lebanon and Morocco. TikTok's Community Guidelines are enforced through a hybrid model of automated systems and human moderation, in an attempt to ensure content is reviewed efficiently and fairly. Users are always informed when content is removed, with the ability to appeal decisions. Such intervention highlights the company's ongoing investment in advanced moderation technologies that can detect violative livestreams quickly and consistently. As the scale of automated decisions continues to expand, TikTok intends to maintain moderation accuracy while ensuring sustained enforcement efforts. The platform's continued efforts to maintain a safe, respectful and inclusive environment for users across the MENA region were highlighted in its recently released Q1 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report .

Advertiser accounts and ad content should follow its Community Guidelines, Advertising Policies and Terms of Service. During the first quarter of 2025, the total volume of ads removed for violating TikTok's advertising policies increased, mainly due to an increase in account-level enforcement. This increase is due to efforts to strengthen and enhance the platform's internal processes, as well. Appeals and restoration TikTok also showed transparency and fairness through its content appeal and restoration process. In cases where users successfully appealed moderation decisions, their videos were restored. Iraq saw the highest number of restored videos at 209,291; followed by Egypt with 144,605; Morocco with 53,525; the UAE with 41,148; and Lebanon with 31,880. These figures illustrate TikTok's commitment to allowing users to appeal moderation decisions if they believe a mistake was made while maintaining platform integrity. Transparency: A foundation for trust and a safer digital space Beyond content enforcement, TikTok continues to engage users across the region through digital literacy initiatives, media partnerships, and community engagement efforts aimed at promoting safer, more informed use of the platform. The Q1 2025 report serves as a comprehensive reflection of TikTok's evolving approach to community protection, robust content moderation, and proactive user empowerment in MENA region and globally. By strategically combining cutting-edge technology, human insight and impactful partnerships, TikTok aims to remain steadfastly committed to cultivating a digital environment where creativity flourishes, and everyone feels genuinely secure.
