Algerian mobile phone company Djezzy has launched into the cloud segment. The official announcement was made on Monday, February 17, on the sidelines of the inaugural ceremony of the CTO Forum 2025, which runs until February 19. The company intends to support businesses and institutions in their digital transformation by offering them innovative, reliable and secure solutions.
“The cloud, an essential lever for the competitiveness of companies, is a solution that provides access to flexible, secure IT resources adapted to their needs,” said Djezzy in a press release quoted by Algérie Presse Service (APS).
Djezzy is positioning itself in a growing market in a context of digital transformation where telecom operators want to diversify their activities beyond traditional mobile telephony services. The Global Mobile Phone Association (GSMA) believes that services beyond the core business are becoming increasingly important in the growth strategy of operators in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The organization cites a 2023 survey which showed that 57% of operators in 2023 cited public cloud among their top three technology priorities for businesses.
According to data portal Statista, the public cloud market in Algeria is expected to generate revenue of $1.12 billion in 2025. Revenue in Algeria is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.99% over the period 2025-2029, reaching $1.96 billion in 2029. “The Algerian public cloud market is increasingly influenced by government initiatives aimed at accelerating digital transformation and improving local data management capabilities ,” Statista added.
This initiative could allow Djezzy to increase its revenues. The company posted a turnover of 112.17 billion dinars ($831.6 million) in 2024, up 10% compared to 2023. However, it should be remembered that the company must face competition in the regional cloud market, driven in particular by global leaders in IT services such as American companies Oracle and Microsoft or Amazon Web Service.
