Cloud expansion and smart city development drive record infrastructure growth.
The United Arab Emirates’ data center colocation market is projected to reach $1.73 billion by 2030, fueled by surging demand from global cloud providers including
Alibaba, AWS, Microsoft, and Oracle.
The expansion is being driven by 5G adoption, artificial intelligence, and major smart city initiatives that require robust digital infrastructure.
