Algeria Data Center Market Size, Share & Forecast to 2035

The Algeria Data Center Market is valued at USD 276.74 million in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 1.14 billion by 2035, up from USD 230.62 million in 2025, a CAGR of 17.36% from 2025 to 2035 (DC Market Insights estimate). The market covers the capital spend on data centers located in Algeria: the information technology (IT) infrastructure installed in them (servers, storage and networking), power solutions, cooling systems and general construction. The 2025 build receipt is 9 megawatts (MW) of new IT capacity × USD 8.00 million of facility content per MW = USD 72.00 million, plus 0.36 MW of new artificial intelligence (AI) capacity × USD 35.00 million of IT fit-out per MW = USD 12.60 million, plus USD 146.02 million of IT refresh and replacement on about 60 MW of installed capacity at the start of the year. AI Workloads are the fastest-growing segment at 40.41% a year as the graphics processing unit (GPU) computing centre in Oran and sovereign cloud platforms come online, and Western Algeria is the fastest-growing region at 21.15% a year because Oran combines the AI centre with a landing of the Oran-Valencia (ORVAL) submarine cable. Algeria is a small slice of the Data Center Market, and this report sizes everything inside Algerian data center buildings.

• USD 230.62 million in 2025, USD 276.74 million in 2026 and USD 1.14 billion by 2035, a 17.36% CAGR.
• IT Infrastructure is the largest component at 68.78% because servers and storage are refreshed every year across the installed base.
• North-Central Algeria leads with 61.35% of 2025 spend; Western Algeria grows fastest at 21.15%.
• An Algerian data center costs about USD 8.00 million per MW to build in 2025 before servers (DC Market Insights estimate).
• Sovereignty sets the pace: since July 2026 all public administration data is hosted on Algerian soil (Source: Ecofin Agency).

What Is an Algeria Data Center, and What Does the Algeria Data Center Market Cover?

An Algeria data center is a secured building or hall in Algeria that houses servers, storage and network equipment with redundant power and cooling, and the Algeria Data Center Market is the annual capital spend on them, USD 230.62 million in 2025 across about 68 MW of installed IT capacity (DC Market Insights estimate). Examples range from the state’s Tier III designed site at Mohammadia in Algiers, with dual redundant N+1 power and 99.982% annual availability (Source: Maghreb Emergent, February 2026), to bank and ministry server rooms.

Included. IT Infrastructure (servers, AI accelerator servers, storage and networking, new and replacement); Power Solutions (substations, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, generators, switchgear and power distribution); Cooling Systems (chillers, computer room air handlers, in-row and liquid cooling); General Construction (shell, fit-out, fire protection, security and commissioning).

Excluded. Land, electricity bills and diesel; colocation, cloud and hosting service revenue, which is sized in the Algeria Data Center Colocation Market report; telecom towers, fibre and submarine cables; and software tools such as data center infrastructure management (DCIM), sized in the Algeria Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Market report.

How the segments fit together. Every split in this report sums to the same total: four components, two workloads, three data center types, five end users and five geographic regions. The facility layer alone (power, cooling and construction, with 2025 spend of USD 72.00 million) overlaps with the Algeria Data Center Infrastructure Market report, and small sites under 1 MW overlap with the Algeria Edge Data Center Market report.

Why Do Algeria Data Center Market Estimates Differ?

DC Market Insights values the Algeria Data Center Market at USD 276.74 million in 2026, and published estimates differ because they count different layers of the market. Some count only equipment, some add hosting and cloud service revenue, and some book a multi-year national programme in the year it is announced. This report counts only the capital spend installed in each year, built from capacity in MW.

Element	In this report	Why
Servers, storage and networking inside data centers	Yes, USD 158.62 million (2025)	Installed in the building and refreshed every year
Power, cooling and construction	Yes, USD 72.00 million (2025)	Facility content per MW of new capacity
Colocation, hosting and cloud service revenue	No	Recurring rent, not capital spend
Telecom networks and submarine cables	No	Network outside the data center
Power plants and solar farms	No	Energy generation, not data center content

Searchers also ask about supply-side terms such as data center equipment, sovereign cloud and data localization: equipment is inside the total, while sovereign cloud subscriptions are service revenue and sit outside it. Topics that equipment studies list, such as an assessment by product, an assessment by vertical, the equipment life cycle and strategic recommendations, are covered here as the component split, the end-user split, the refresh model and the scenario section. The data center equipment industry life cycle in Algeria runs from import and installation to refresh (servers and storage replaced every year across the installed base, AI servers on a five-year cycle), and the key strategic points for equipment suppliers are Tier III certified power and cooling, local support and sovereign hosting rules.

What Drives Algerian Data Center Spending: Sovereign Hosting, AI Compute or Energy Data?

Three drivers lift new Algerian IT capacity from 9 MW in 2025 to 18 MW in 2030: sovereign hosting of state data, the national AI compute programme, and digital demand from the energy and telecom groups.

Sovereign hosting: all public administration data now stays in Algeria

On 5 July 2026 President Abdelmadjid Tebboune inaugurated the National Center for Digital Services at Mohammadia, the first of its kind in Algeria (Source: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Algeria). The center runs active-active across two data centers in Algiers and Blida and now hosts all Algerian public administration data within the country (Source: Ecofin Agency, July 2026). The government plans to bring 40 public services fully online through a national digital identity system (Source: Ecofin Agency). The project was approved by the Council of Ministers in November 2023 and contracted to Huawei Telecommunications Algeria in April 2024 (Source: Maghreb Emergent). DC Market Insights links this programme to the Government and Public Sector end user, the largest buyer group with 2025 spend of USD 76.45 million.

National AI compute: a GPU centre in Oran

In March 2025 the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications laid the foundation stone of Algeria’s first high-performance computing centre for AI in Oran, to be fitted with the latest generation of GPUs for researchers, startups and companies (Source: Algérie Presse Service (APS), March 2025). Algérie Télécom also set up a 1.5 billion dinar fund for AI, cybersecurity and robotics startups (Source: Algeria Invest, March 2025). DC Market Insights raises the AI share of new Algerian capacity from 4% in 2025 to 17% in 2030 and 25% in 2035, which makes Research, AI and Startups the fastest-growing end user at 24.42% a year.

Energy and telecom groups digitise operations on a surplus grid

Algeria has more than 26 gigawatts (GW) of installed power capacity, against record demand of 21,828 MW on 19 August 2026 (Source: Ecofin Agency, August 2026), so data centers can connect without the load-shedding seen in other emerging markets. Sonatrach and Sonelgaz run their own data halls for seismic, production and billing data, worth USD 33.90 million of 2025 spend in DC Market Insights estimates, while telecom operators add cloud platforms: Djezzy launched a cloud service for businesses in February 2025 (Source: Algérie Eco, February 2025).

Which Trends Are Reshaping Algeria’s Data Center Build-Out?

Three trends shape the Algeria data center build-out: certified Tier III design, a shift from server rooms to telecom and colocation halls, and AI-ready capacity outside Algiers.

Uptime Institute Tier III certification arrives

In February 2026 the Mohammadia data center received Uptime Institute Tier III Design certification, the first in Algeria, as announced by the High Commission for Digitization (Source: Radio Algérie, February 2026). The Blida backup site received Tier III Design certification in September 2026, and Tier III Facility Construction certification is the next step (Source: Algérie Eco, September 2026). Certified design raises the share of spend on power and cooling: DC Market Insights lifts cooling from 20% of facility spend in 2025 to 24% by 2035.

From server rooms to telecom and colocation halls

Algérie Télécom inaugurated a data center in Constantine on 23 February 2023, built entirely by its own teams, and plans more in other regions (Source: Algérie Eco, February 2023). Private hosts such as Icosnet, Ayrade and WebServices run sites in Algiers. DC Market Insights expects Telecom and Colocation to rise from 33.80% of spend in 2025 to 38.95% in 2035, a 19.03% CAGR.

Capacity moves west and south

The ORVAL cable, 1,160 km and 40 terabits per second (Tbps), lands at Algiers and Oran and links them to Valencia in Spain (Source: Capacity Media). Together with the Oran AI centre, it pulls new capacity west: Western Algeria rises from 14.65% of spend in 2025 to 20.15% in 2035, while Southern Algeria grows at 19.52% on oilfield edge sites around Hassi Messaoud.

What Holds Back Algerian Data Center Investment?

Import dependence and data transfer rules are the two largest constraints on the Algeria Data Center Market, and together they explain why the base case adds about 187 MW over 2026-2035 rather than a hyperscale wave.

Imported equipment and foreign exchange

Almost all servers, UPS systems and chillers are imported, so project timing depends on import licences and access to foreign currency. The national centre itself was built by Huawei, and no contract value has been made public (Source: Maghreb Emergent, February 2026). DC Market Insights reflects this in a facility cost of USD 8.00 million per MW in 2025, rising 2.5% a year.

Data transfer rules limit foreign cloud regions

Law 18-07 of 10 June 2018 allows personal data to leave Algeria only with the authorisation of the National Data Protection Authority, which began operating in August 2023, and Law 25-11 of 24 July 2025 added accountability and record-keeping duties (Source: DLA Piper Data Protection Laws of the World). No global hyperscaler has opened an Algerian cloud region, so Cloud and Hyperscale is only 8.85% of 2025 spend. In the low case, with 30% less new capacity and a 30% lower AI share, the 2035 market is USD 764.56 million instead of USD 1.14 billion.

Where Are the New Revenue Pools in Algerian Data Centers?

The two largest new revenue pools are AI fit-outs, with a 2035 value of USD 503.51 million of AI workload spend, and cloud and hyperscale halls, with a 2035 value of USD 281.66 million, both larger than any other new pool in the Algeria Data Center Market.

AI fit-outs are the largest new revenue pool

AI Workloads grow at 40.41% a year (DC Market Insights estimate) as GPU servers at USD 35.00 million of IT per MW are installed in Oran and in state and university halls. Suppliers of high-density power and liquid cooling gain most: Cooling Systems grow at 16.51% a year to USD 66.36 million.

Sovereign cloud for ministries, banks and startups

Cloud and Hyperscale halls grow at 30.01% a year, from 2025 spend of USD 20.41 million (DC Market Insights estimate), because data that cannot leave the country needs a local cloud. Banks are the second opportunity: banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) grows at 17.98% a year to USD 166.83 million as payment and core banking systems move to certified sites.

Algeria Data Center Price: How Much Does a Data Center Cost per MW in Algeria?

A data center in Algeria costs about USD 8.00 million per MW of IT capacity to build in 2025 before servers (DC Market Insights estimate), so a 2 MW Tier III hall needs about USD 16.00 million for power, cooling and construction, and AI IT adds about USD 35.00 million per MW of GPU capacity.

Price point	2020	2025	2030	2035
Facility cost per MW (USD million)	7.07	8.00	9.05	10.24
AI IT fit-out per AI MW (USD million)	35.00	35.00	35.00	35.00
Conventional IT spend per installed MW a year (USD million)	2.40	2.40	2.40	2.40

Public price anchors:

• No Algerian contract value has been disclosed for the national centre at Mohammadia (Source: Maghreb Emergent, February 2026), so DC Market Insights uses comparable emerging markets.
• In Bangladesh, operators quote up to USD 8 million per MW of IT capacity for a Tier III facility (Source: The Financial Express), and a planned 28.8 MW park of more than Tk 2,000 crore implies about USD 5.2 million per MW (Source: The Daily Observer).
• In Morocco, the Toubkal DC2 site at Benguerir offers 2,000 square metres of modular white space for 5 MW of IT load (Source: Conseil de la concurrence du Maroc, September 2023).

The model’s USD 8.00 million per MW sits at the top of these anchors because Algerian sites import most equipment and are built to Tier III, and it rises 2.5% a year to USD 10.24 million per MW by 2035.

Which Rules and Standards Shape Algerian Data Center Investment?

Three rules shape Algeria data center investment: the personal data law (Law 18-07, amended by Law 25-11), the policy of hosting all public administration data in Algeria, and Uptime Institute Tier certification, first achieved at Mohammadia in February 2026.

Law 18-07 and Law 25-11. Transfers of personal data abroad need the National Data Protection Authority’s authorisation and an adequate level of protection in the receiving country; transfers that threaten public security are banned (Source: DLA Piper). The Authority announced its first inspections of private companies on 28 February 2024 (Source: DLA Piper).

Sovereign hosting. Since July 2026 all data generated by public administrations is hosted on national territory (Source: Ecofin Agency).

Tier certification. Uptime Institute Tier III Design at Mohammadia (February 2026) and Blida (September 2026), with Facility Construction certification to follow (Source: Algérie Eco).

DC Market Insights treats these rules as a demand driver for local hosting of government and bank data, worth 2025 public sector and BFSI spend of USD 108.39 million.

Which Segment Leads the Algeria Data Center Market, and What Is the Fastest Growing Segment?

IT Infrastructure leads the Algeria Data Center Market with 68.78% of 2025 spend (USD 158.62 million), and AI Workloads are the fastest-growing Algeria data center segment at 40.41% a year to 2035 (DC Market Insights estimate).

Which Algerian Region Leads Data Center Spend, and Which Grows Fastest?

North-Central Algeria leads with 61.35% of 2025 spend (USD 141.49 million), and Western Algeria is the fastest-growing region at 21.15% a year to a 2035 value of USD 230.24 million (DC Market Insights estimate), because the Oran AI centre and the ORVAL landing pull new halls west. Algeria sits in the Middle East and Africa region, where Africa holds only 0.6% of global data center capacity (Source: Ecofin Agency, citing the Africa Data Centres Association), so the fastest growing region of the Algeria Data Center Market, Western Algeria at 21.15% a year, grows faster than the national rate of 17.36% from a small base.

Region	2025 (USD million)	Share 2025	2035 (USD million)	CAGR 2025-2035
North-Central Algeria	141.49	61.35%	610.17	15.74%
Western Algeria	33.79	14.65%	230.24	21.15%
Eastern Algeria	35.51	15.40%	189.11	18.21%
High Plateaus	10.03	4.35%	54.85	18.52%
Southern Algeria	9.80	4.25%	58.28	19.52%

North-Central Algeria Leads with 61.35% Share

Algiers and Blida host both national sites and most private hosting, but the region’s share falls to 53.40% by 2035 as capacity spreads.

Western Algeria Is the Fastest-Growing Region at 21.15%

Western Algeria is the fastest-growing region of the Algeria Data Center Market at 21.15% a year because Oran gains the national AI computing centre (Source: APS, March 2025) and an ORVAL landing (Source: Capacity Media).

Eastern Algeria Holds 15.40% Share

Constantine is anchored by Algérie Télécom’s 2023 data center (Source: Algérie Eco), with Annaba, Sétif and Béjaïa adding enterprise rooms.

High Plateaus Hold 4.35% Share

Batna and the plateau cities rely on small enterprise and university rooms, growing at 18.52% a year.

Southern Algeria Holds 4.25% Share

Oilfield operations around Hassi Messaoud need local processing, so Southern Algeria grows at 19.52% a year.

Africa has 19% of the world’s population but only 0.6% of its data center capacity (Source: Ecofin Agency, July 2026), which is why every Algerian region grows faster than the global market.

Which Algerian Cities Spend the Most on Data Centers?

Algiers leads Algeria data center spend with 2025 spend of USD 95.01 million, and Oran is the fastest-growing large hub at 21.43% a year to a 2035 value of USD 181.68 million (DC Market Insights estimate). The 12 hubs below hold 89.35% of 2025 spend; the rest sits in smaller wilayas.

12	Béjaïa	Eastern Algeria	2.65	1.15%	16.00	19.70%

Blida stays second through 2035 because it hosts the backup half of the national active-active platform (Source: Ecofin Agency).

Forecast Scenarios: What Could Change the 2035 Algeria Forecast?

The 2035 Algeria Data Center Market ranges from USD 764.56 million to USD 1.56 billion around a base case of USD 1.14 billion, depending on how fast AI halls and private cloud capacity arrive.

Scenario	Assumption from 2026	2035	CAGR 2025-2035
Low	New capacity and AI share 30% below base	USD 764.56 million	12.73%
Base	About 187 MW added 2026-2035; AI share 25% by 2035	USD 1.14 billion	17.36%
High	New capacity 30% and AI share 25% above base	USD 1.56 billion	21.09%

The swing factor is the Oran AI centre and any follow-on GPU halls: if they reach tens of MW by 2030, the market tracks the high case. The 5 July 2026 opening of the National Center for Digital Services sets the base case floor, because every ministry now has to move its data onto the Algiers and Blida platform.

Who Are the Leading Algeria Data Center Companies, and What Share Do They Hold?

Algérie Télécom leads the Algeria Data Center Market with about 23% of 2025 spend, and the top three (Algérie Télécom, the state’s national hosting programme and Sonatrach) hold about 51% (DC Market Insights estimate, based on disclosed sites).

• Algérie Télécom
• Mobilis
• Djezzy
• Ooredoo Algeria
• Icosnet
• Ayrade
• WebServices
• Syntys Algeria
• ISSAL NET
• Sonatrach
• Sonelgaz
• CERIST
• Huawei
• ZTE
• Schneider Electric
• Vertiv

Algérie Télécom’s advantage is reach: it owns the national backbone, the ORVAL cable with Algérie Télécom Europe (Source: Capacity Media) and the Constantine data center. The state’s advantage is policy: since the National Center for Digital Services opened on 5 July 2026, public administration data must stay on its platform, and Huawei built both national sites (Source: Ecofin Agency). Sonatrach spends on seismic and production computing. Among private hosts, Icosnet, Ayrade, WebServices and ISSAL NET run carrier-neutral rooms in Algiers and Oran, and Djezzy, Mobilis and Ooredoo Algeria add cloud services for business clients.

Methodology: How We Built the Algeria Data Center Market Model

The model multiplies 9 MW by USD 8.00 million per MW for 2025, adds 0.36 MW × USD 35.00 million of AI IT, and adds USD 146.02 million of installed-base IT spend. New Algerian IT capacity (4 MW in 2020, 9 MW in 2025, 18 MW in 2030, 27 MW in 2035; about 68 MW installed at the end of 2025, 2% of the conventional base retired each year) × facility cost per MW gives facility spend; new AI MW (AI share 0% in 2020, 4% in 2025, 17% in 2030, 25% in 2035) × AI IT per MW gives new AI IT spend; 20% a year of the installed AI base is refreshed; and the installed conventional base × USD 2.40 million per MW a year gives conventional IT spend. Region and hub splits are set for 2025 and 2035 and sum to the total.

Three bound checks:

• Ceiling 1: about 232 MW of installed IT in 2035 at a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.5 draws about 347 MW, 1.3% of Algeria’s more than 26 GW of installed power capacity (Source: Ecofin Agency).
• Ceiling 2: the 2025 market is about 0.04% of the USD 570.04 billion global Data Center Market (DC Market Insights estimate), below Africa’s 0.6% share of global data center capacity (Source: Ecofin Agency, citing the Africa Data Centres Association).
• Floor: the Mohammadia and Blida national sites, the Constantine data center and the private hosts in Algiers already need servers and storage refreshed every year, which the model sets as 2025 conventional IT spend of USD 144.58 million.
