中东资料中心：市场占有率分析、产业趋势与统计、成长预测（2026-2031）

预计中东资料中心市场将从 2025 年的 30.5 亿美元成长到 2026 年的 35.2 亿美元，到 2031 年将达到 71.9 亿美元，2026 年至 2031 年的复合年增长率为 15.36%。

就装置容量而言，预计市场将从2025年的1820兆瓦成长到2030年的2840兆瓦，预测期间（2025-2030年）复合年增长率（CAGR）为9.23%。市场占有率和估计值均以兆瓦（MW）为单位计算和报告。强有力的政府资金支持、超大规模容量强制性要求、高密度海底电缆登陆点以及支持性的云端优先法规，正在吸引资本和人才涌入该地区，缩短传统建设週期并提高运转率。沙乌地阿拉伯的「人类智慧」（HUMAIN）计画和阿联酋-法国人工智慧协议等国家级项目，正在为整合GPU的机房创造稳固的需求基础；而油田废水发电试点项目表明，能源成本结构性降低，这有望扩大该地区相对于欧洲和亚洲的成本优势。将土地和电力供应管理与液冷技术专长相结合的运营商，正在赢得超大规模资料中心业者企业的长期合同，这些企业希望避免在其他地区出现容量短缺。随着国内主要企业、全球託管品牌和能源巨头竞相争夺利雅德、阿布达比和特拉维夫的位置，竞争压力日益增大，推高了土地价格，同时加快了园区区间光纤的建设，从而改善了跨境工作负载的流动性。

中东资料中心市场趋势与洞察

沙乌地阿拉伯和阿联酋迅速采纳国家云端优先政策

具约束力的「云端优先」政策要求各部会和国营企业按照不同于传统成本优化的时间表迁移工作负载，从而有效增强需求弹性，保护开发人员免受週期性衰退的影响。这些政策还包含严格的资料主权条款，旨在建立具有高定价的主权云端区域。公共部门合约授予必须遵守这些政策，迫使外国云端服务提供者与获得许可的当地产业营运商合作，从而提高国内价值获取，并加速向本地劳动力转移技能。

政府支持的超大规模资料中心容量目标预计到2030年将超过1.3吉瓦。

沙乌地电信的「Center 3」等旗舰专案以1GW的蓝图为目标，确保了主要租户的入驻，并通常捆绑购电特权，从而降低了风险溢价，并将开发週期缩短至18-24个月。政府主导的资金筹措避免了以往购电协议竞标的局面，并允许同时推出多个园区，而这在纯粹的商业市场中难以资金筹措。早期供应过剩进一步降低了寻求在欧洲和亚洲之间实现低延迟冗余的国际超大规模资料中心业者的进入门槛。

气候变迁导致冷气运转成本增加

与温带地区相比，沙漠地区的环境温度会使年均PUE值增加3-5%，迫使业者资金筹措大规模冷水机组或采用液冷技术，以确保GPU机架符合规范要求。人工智慧丛集进一步加剧了热负荷，而水资源短缺法规限制了蒸发冷却系统的应用，导致营运商更加依赖电力驱动的冷水机组，并在新进业者不断增加价格压力之际，推高了营运成本。

细分市场分析

大型资料中心占总装置容量的39.62%，主要得益于企业的持续使用和已完全折旧的资产。然而，随着新一代园区投入运作，预计这一比例将会下降。同时，受国家主导的人工智慧专案和需要超过50兆瓦连续电力供应的超大规模资料中心超大规模资料中心业者的推动，大型园区在该细分市场中实现了最高的成长率（年复合成长率16.69%）。预计在2026年至2031年间，由于这些大型建设项目，中东资料中心市场规模将成长一倍以上。目前，拥有数百兆瓦併网容量的业者享有优先采购权。

这种转变有利于像DataVolt这样的开发商，其位于NEOM的1.5GW净零能耗人工智慧工厂展示了政府主导的规划如何摒弃传统的渐进式扩展的託管逻辑。对于需要全国性资料中心但又无法大规模资料中心经济效益的区域性云端服务而言，超大型和中型资料中心仍然至关重要。小规模边缘节点将继续满足低延迟应用场景和监管居住条款的要求，从而确保形成一种类似哑铃的结构，将超大规模和微型配置整合在同一区域生态系统中。

到2025年，三级资料中心将占中东资料中心市场的67.05%，巩固其作为多租户应用可靠性和成本效益最佳解决方案的地位。然而，随着人工智慧训练、数位支付清算和国家安全工作负载对资料中心弹性的要求不断提高，四级资料中心将继续以16.55%的复合年增长率成长。预计到本十年末，中东四级资料中心的市场规模将成长两倍，这主要得益于关键基础设施计划国家审批流程的加速。

区域运营商希望部署四级储能係统以证明其长期可靠性。诸如阿联酋电信（Etisalat）获得的三级金牌运营可持续性认证等来自执行时间 Institute的认证，展现了成熟的品质文化，从而降低了地缘政治风险的担忧。然而，三级和四级储能係统每兆瓦的资本支出差异仍然是区域城市（尤其是那些对价格敏感的租户占主导地位的城市）的一大障碍。开发人员必须根据当地需求弹性调整冗余水平，这通常会导致同一站点内混合使用三级和四级储能係统。

中东资料中心市场报告按资料中心规模（大型、超大型、中型、巨型、小规模）、等级标准（Tier 1-2、Tier 3、Tier 4）、资料中心类型（超大规模/自建、企业/边缘、託管）、终端用户产业（银行、金融服务和保险 (BFSI)、IT 及 ITES、电子商务、政府、媒体和娱乐等）以及地区进行市场区隔。市场预测以 IT 负载容量（兆瓦）为单位。

第七章 市场机会与未来展望

The Middle East Data Center Market is expected to grow from USD 3.05 billion in 2025 to USD 3.52 billion in 2026 and is forecast to reach USD 7.19 billion by 2031 at 15.36% CAGR over 2026-2031.

In terms of the installed base, the market is expected to grow from 1.82 thousand megawatts in 2025 to 2.84 thousand megawatts by 2030, at a CAGR of 9.23% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2030. The market segment shares and estimates are calculated and reported in terms of MW. Solid sovereign funding, hyperscale capacity mandates, dense subsea cable landings, and supportive cloud-first regulations combine to attract capital and talent to the region at a pace that shortens traditional build cycles and boosts utilization rates. Sovereign programs such as Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN and the UAE-France AI pact create guaranteed anchor demand for GPU-dense halls, while oil-field waste-gas-to-power pilots hint at structurally lower energy costs that could widen regional cost advantages over Europe and parts of Asia. Operators that pair land and power control with liquid-cooling know-how are securing long-term commitments from hyperscalers eager to hedge against capacity shortages elsewhere. Competitive pressure is mounting as domestic champions, global colocation brands, and energy majors jostle for sites in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, and Tel Aviv, driving up land prices but also accelerating inter-campus fiber builds that improve cross-border workload mobility.

Middle East Data Center Market Trends and Insights

Rapid Adoption of National Cloud-First Policies in Saudi Arabia and the UAE

Binding cloud-first mandates oblige ministries and state-owned firms to migrate workloads on timelines that ignore typical cost optimization, effectively creating a demand floor that cushions developers against cyclical slowdowns. These directives also embed strict data-sovereignty clauses, encouraging sovereign-cloud zones that fetch premium pricing. Because compliance is required to win public-sector contracts, foreign cloud providers must partner with licensed local operators, reinforcing domestic value capture and accelerating skill transfer to the local workforce.

Government-Backed Hyperscale Capacity Targets Exceeding 1.3 GW by 2030

Flagship programs such as Saudi Telecom Company's center3 target a 1 GW roadmap, guarantee anchor tenancy, and often bundle power-purchase concessions, dropping risk premiums and compressing development timelines to 18-24 months. Sovereign financing removes the typical scramble for off-take agreements, enabling simultaneous multi-campus launches that would be hard to fund in purely commercial markets. The oversupply that results in early years further reduces entry barriers for international hyperscalers seeking low-latency redundancy between Europe and Asia.

Climate-Driven Cooling OPEX Escalation

Desert ambient temperatures push annual PUE up by 3-5% over temperate sites and force operators to finance large chilled-water plants or adopt liquid-cooling in order to keep GPU racks within spec. AI clusters exacerbate the heat profile, and water-scarcity regulations restrict evaporative systems, increasing dependence on electrically driven chillers that inflate operating costs just when price pressure from new entrants intensifies.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

1. Surge in Sovereign AI Funding
2. Sub-Sea Cable Densification Boosting Regional Inter-Connectivit
3. Scarcity of Certified Data-Center Engineers

Segment Analysis

Large facilities accounted for 39.62% of deployed capacity, thanks to enterprise loyalty and fully depreciated assets. However, as new-generation campuses come online, this share is set to decline. Meanwhile, massive campuses, driven by sovereign AI programs and hyperscalers requiring contiguous power blocks exceeding 50 MW, recorded the highest growth in the segment with a 16.69% CAGR. Between 2026 and 2031, the Middle East data center market is expected to more than double in size due to these massive builds. Operators securing multi-hundred-megawatt grid connections are currently enjoying a status of preferential procurement.

The shift favors developers like DataVolt, whose 1.5 GW net-zero AI factory in NEOM underlines how sovereign planning circumvents the incremental build logic of traditional colocation. Mega and medium formats remain relevant for regional cloud services that require country-specific presence yet cannot absorb the economics of massive footprints. Small edge nodes continue to address latency-critical use cases and regulatory residency clauses, ensuring a barbell-sized structure that blends both hyperscale and micro deployments within the same regional ecosystem.

Tier 3 facilities accounted for 67.05% of the Middle East data center market share in 2025, confirming their status as the cost-effective sweet spot for reliability in multi-tenant applications. Tier 4, however, is advancing at 16.55% CAGR as AI training, digital payments clearing, and national security workloads raise the bar on fault tolerance. The Middle East data center market size allocated to Tier 4 is expected to triple by the end of the decade, driven by expedited sovereign permitting for critical infrastructure projects.

Regional operators showcase Tier 4 ambitions to signal long-term reliability. Uptime Institute certifications, such as Etisalat's Tier III Gold for Operational Sustainability, illustrate a maturing quality culture that reduces perceived geopolitical risk. Yet the CAPEX per MW differential between Tier 3 and Tier 4 remains a hurdle for second-tier cities where price-sensitive tenants dominate. Developers must therefore calibrate redundancy levels to local demand elasticity, often blending Tier 3 and Tier 4 halls on the same site.
