In 2024, Burkina Faso continued to rely heavily on imports for its data center colocation needs, with top exporting countries being China, USA, France, Finland, and UK. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market. Despite a minimal compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.05% from 2020 to 2024, there was a significant decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -28.54%. This data suggests potential challenges and shifts in the market dynamics that may impact the import landscape for data center colocation services in Burkina Faso.

The Data Center Colocation Market in Burkina Faso is gradually expanding as businesses look for cost-effective solutions to manage their IT infrastructure. Colocation services are becoming more appealing to organizations that want to avoid the high costs of building and maintaining their own data centers.
The Burkina Faso Data Center Colocation market is influenced by the increasing demand for secure and reliable data storage solutions. Colocation services offer businesses the ability to host their servers and IT infrastructure in third-party data centers, providing benefits such as enhanced security, scalability, and reduced capital expenditure. The market is driven by the growing adoption of cloud computing and the need for disaster recovery solutions. Additionally, the rising focus on data security and compliance with regulatory requirements supports the demand for colocation services.
The data center colocation market in Burkina Faso faces multiple challenges. There is a limited availability of colocation facilities, which can restrict access to reliable and secure data center services. The high cost of colocation services and the lack of local providers can be barriers for businesses looking to outsource their data center operations. Additionally, there are concerns about data security and compliance, which can impact the attractiveness of colocation services in the region. The market also suffers from inadequate infrastructure and limited investment in colocation facilities.
Burkina Faso encourages the development of data center colocation services through policies that promote infrastructure investment and competitiveness. The government supports the establishment of colocation facilities that offer shared data center resources, helping businesses reduce costs and improve their IT infrastructure. This policy aims to enhance data center services and attract investment in the sector.
