Virtual Machine Market Size To Reach $30,122.3 Million By 2030

Virtual Machine Market Growth & Trends

The global virtual machine market size is anticipated to reach USD 30,122.3 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 15.1% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Virtualization technology has become a fundamental component of modern IT infrastructure, enabling organizations to optimize resource utilization, improve scalability, and reduce operational costs. Moreover, the market will grow as more businesses and end-users utilize various information technology solutions, such as cloud infrastructure, cutting-edge applications, and container integration, to promote productivity. Adopting cloud computing services was a significant driver of market growth. Cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) heavily relied on virtualization technology to deliver scalable and cost-effective cloud services. Organizations were increasingly adopting hybrid and multi-cloud strategies to leverage the benefits of both public and private clouds.

These machines played a critical role in creating a consistent infrastructure across different cloud environments. Server virtualization remained a cornerstone of data center optimization. Many businesses were still in the process of virtualizing their server infrastructure to improve hardware utilization and reduce power consumption. Virtual machines (VMs) were widely used for server consolidation, allowing multiple virtual servers to run on a single physical server. This reduced hardware costs and improved resource utilization. For example, cloud computing virtualization platforms, such as VMware's vSphere and Microsoft's Hyper-V, were widely used for server virtualization. These technologies allowed multiple VMs to run on a single physical server. The continuous advancement of the IT industry worldwide is a significant driver of market growth.

Advancements in hardware, such as faster processors and increased memory capacity, enable VMs to run more efficiently and support increasingly demanding workloads. The IT industry's widespread adoption of cloud computing has been a catalyst for VM growth. Cloud providers rely heavily on VM technology to deliver scalable and flexible services to businesses of all sizes. These providers continually innovate with new VM instance types and services. The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the need for processing data at the edge has increased the demand for VMs. VMs enable deploying computing resources closer to where data is generated, reducing latency, and improving real-time decision-making. The combination of VMs and AI/ML at the edge drives growth. VMs can host AI and machine learning (ML) models that analyze data locally, improving response times for edge applications, such as autonomous vehicles and industrial automation.
