Nigeria Data Center Cooling Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Nigeria Data Center Cooling Market Analysis

The Nigeria Data Center Cooling Market size is estimated at USD 3.85 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 12.25 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 20.30% during the forecast period (2024-2030).

• The increasing demand for cloud computing among SMEs, government regulations for local data security, and growing investment by domestic players are major factors driving the demand for data centers.
• Under Construction IT Load Capacity: The upcoming IT load capacity of the Nigeria data center market is expected to reach more than 226.7 MW by 2029.
• Under Construction Raised Floor Space: The country's construction of raised floor area is expected to increase above 0.6 million sq. ft by 2029.
• Planned Racks: The country's total number of racks to be installed is expected to reach above 32,389 units by 2029. Johannesburg is expected to house the maximum number of racks by 2029.
• Planned Submarine Cables: Many are under construction. 2Africa, which stretches over 45,000 kilometers and has landing points in Lagos, Nigeria, was estimated to start service in 2023.
• New data centers across the country are focusing on implementing state-of-the-art monitoring systems to mitigate the risks associated with extreme weather events. Many would use the latest, more energy-efficient cooling technologies, such as redundant cooling systems, smart monitoring technologies, and backup power generators, to ensure consistency of temperature in the event of power interruptions. Another example is direct liquid cooling, which uses a higher thermal transfer of water to a more efficient cooling device.
• The average winter temperature is between 32°C (90°F) and 34°C (94 °F). The average summer temperature is between 42.9°C (109.22 °F) to over 44.5 °C (112.1°F). Depending upon climatic conditions, the DC cooling is done in the DC facilities.

Nigeria Data Center Cooling Industry Segmentation

Data center cooling is a set of techniques and technologies to maintain optimal operating temperatures in data center environments. This is important because data centers house many computer servers and network equipment that generate heat during operation. Efficient cooling systems are used to dissipate this heat and prevent equipment from overheating, ensuring continued reliable operation of the data center. Various methods, such as air conditioning, liquid cooling, and hot/cold aisle containment, are commonly used to control temperature and humidity in data centers.

The Nigerian data center cooling market is segmented by cooling technology (air-based cooling (CRAH, chillers and economizers, and cooling towers), liquid-based cooling (immersion cooling and direct-to-chip cooling), and evaporative cooling) and end user (IT & telecommunication, BFSI, government, and media & entertainment). The market sizes and forecasts are provided in terms of value (USD) for all the above segments.
