Saudi Arabia’s data capacity reaches 300 MW in 2025 amid digital growth ambitions

Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Saudi Arabia now holds 86% of the Middle East's data center capacity, reaching 300 megawatts in 2025.

 According to a report sent to Al Eqtisadiah by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, the country’s data capacity has grown fivefold since 2017, with ambitions to expand cloud computing infrastructure by 2030 to meet the rising demand for advanced tech solutions.

Saudi Arabia hosts 58 data centers across various regions, supporting sectors like e-commerce, government services, and cloud applications. This infrastructure aids the adoption of AI, IoT, and smart cities, driving digital transformation.

Strategic partnerships with entities such as the Ministry of Energy, MODON, and the Communications, Space, and Technology Commission have been key to expanding this sector.

Collaboration with Uptime Institute and Tuwaiq Academy has also led to a new training academy for digital infrastructure skills. Additionally, the Microsoft Data Center Academy, launched with the National Academy of Information Technology, has trained over 200 participants to date.

Data centers are playing a crucial role in enabling digital services, improving business efficiency, and reducing operational costs. Abdulrahman AlMufadda, Deputy Minister for Communications and Infrastructure, described data centers as the "beating heart" of Saudi Arabia's digital transformation under Vision 2030, positioning the kingdom as a leading hub for digital investments in the region.
