As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more deeply embedded in how organisations operate, the infrastructure behind these digital tools is undergoing a profound shift. Data centre capacity to power AI processes must increase, and rapidly, by expanding and upgrading existing facilities or building new data centres. The African data centre market is growing quickly: research places current estimated market value at USD 1.94 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 3.85 billion by 2030.

The IT industry is undergoing one of its most defining shifts to date, driven by the explosive growth of generative AI. These powerful language models are pushing the limits of traditional data centre infrastructure. The upgrades operators prioritise will depend largely on whether they’re handling AI training or inference workloads.
Training an AI model consumes enormous amounts of power, often exceeding 100kW per rack, and demands advanced cooling and electrical designs.
