However, rising data privacy and security concerns may hinder the market growth. Large-scale enterprises are increasingly using cloud-based technologies to control and lower their Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX), as well as the rising volume of data created through websites and mobile apps. Moreover, Pay-as-you-go models, which let companies pay for cloud services depending on how frequently users use them and lead to cheaper costs, are available on the cloud. Moreover, large-scale businesses are rapidly adopting cloud services due to on-demand availability. For instance, in May 2022, American Airlines migrated customer-facing applications to VMware HCX on IBM Cloud to provide digital self-service tools.

An open and flexible IBM cloud platform enabled American Airlines to update its technology stack and introduce DevOps concepts and increase agility. The adoption of cloud-based system among a large number of small and medium-sized organizations are driving market expansion.

For instance, in November 2022, the Data Security Council of India (DSCI) and Google Cloud collaborated to demystify cloud security and enable government and private enterprises to adopt cloud computing in India.

Google Cloud and DSCI will collaborate to develop a platform to improve collaboration between government agencies, regulators, small & medium enterprises, and SaaS providers. Cloud computing offers more efficient and faster ways to adapt and run business operations according to changing market environments. It streamlines the consumerization of technology. It has unleashed unprecedented possibilities to create highly engaging customer experiences. Cloud has driven a behavioral change among people and businesses and enabled multiple lines of businesses to navigate around the tech policies to get things done. Cloud trends are essentially guiding organizations’ investment strategies, digital business decision processes, and vendor and technology selection.

Rapid digitization is compelling organizations to modernize their application and infrastructure landscape to drive cost-efficiency and business agility. By adopting cloud solutions and services, organizations can support their key business activities effectively, move business workloads to a cloud platform, and avoid the latency of the network. Major vendors are launching new cloud solutions, services, and workloads and enhancing the capabilities of their current ones to increase their position in the industry. For instance, in May 2021, Google Cloud launched three solutions namely Datastream, Analytics Hub, and Dataplex to provide businesses with a uniform data platform, database, and data analytics portfolio.

Data security and privacy are the primary concerns of organizations, wherein storage, use, and transmission of information must be digitally protected. Surveys suggest that about 60% of the business-sensitive information on hard drives is held insecurely. Data encryption, authorization management, access control, cloud integration, communication security, monitoring &auditing, and business continuity services are some of the important security services offered by the vendors. For instance, vendors, such as Google LLP, Microsoft Corp., and Amazon.com Inc., provide 99.9% uptime, which relieves organizations from the burden of creating and maintaining recovery facilities and backup infrastructure.

Service Insights

Based on services, the industry has been further categorized into Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). The SaaS segment dominated the industry in 2022 and accounted for the highest share of more than 53.95% of the overall revenue. The segment is estimated to expand further at a steady growth rate retaining its leading position throughout the forecast period. The demand for SaaS can be attributed to its easy maintenance, flexible costs, and easy deployment. A surge in demand for SaaS services is resulting from remote working.
