Expanding Data Center Market in the GCC: Saudi Arabia and UAE Lead Growth Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the primary investment hubs in the rapidly growing GCC data center market. The UAE, particularly Dubai and Abu Dhabi, is set to account for more than half of the upcoming data center space, with leading companies like Khazna Data Centers, Gulf Data Hub, Moro Hub, and Equinix driving the expansion. The GCC data center construction market is projected to grow from 802,000 square feet in 2024 to 2,014,000 square feet by 2030, at a CAGR of 16.59%. The UAE's robust infrastructure and global connectivity make it a key regional hub for data centers. Additionally, brownfield development in industrial parks and free trade zones, especially in Abu Dhabi, supports this growth. Meanwhile, modular data centers are on the rise, particularly in Abu Dhabi. Emerging economies like Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman are also increasing data center investments, signaling the GCC's strategic importance in cloud services, edge computing, and global data networks.
