Cloud Computing Sector Outlook

The global market size for cloud computing was estimated at USD 483.97 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to increase at a CAGR of 14.1% from 2023 to 2030. The growth can be attributed to factors such as the increasing amount of data generated by mobile applications and websites, the need for large storage requirements, the increasing need to deliver customer-centric applications to increase customer satisfaction, and the need for control and reduction of Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditures (OPEX). Several emerging technologies are driving the growth of the global cloud computing market, such as big data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML). In addition, cloud computing services are driven by other prominent factors, such as protecting private information, increasing Disaster Recovery (DR) speed, and the execution of regulatory mandates. As a result, cloud storage services with unlimited storage are increasingly being implemented by enterprises.

Cloud services provide businesses and individuals with a secure, safe way to store important data. Furthermore, cloud accounts include various encryption tools to protect data, which may increase demand for public cloud services. According to the survey report conducted by Flexera Software in March 2023, the multi-cloud would primarily be used for security tools, followed by cost optimization tools, governance tools, and management tools. 

Key Regional Trend

North American region dominated this space in 2022 and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period.

Public Cloud Market Analysis and Forecast

The global public cloud market size was valued at USD 171.39 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1% from 2023 to 2030. Higher application density, lower costs, and increasing efficiency are prominent factors driving demand for the public cloud industry. Moreover, due to economies of scale, public cloud providers can charge less for their services. Applications hosted in the public cloud can boost businesses' productivity. Businesses run more apps on fewer servers, which increases productivity and lowers costs. Businesses can quickly launch new applications or services using the public cloud compared to their infrastructure.

Businesses from all sectors utilize dependable frameworks, services, and controls to benefit from innovative new technologies in the cloud. In addition, organizations and entire economies worldwide are increasingly adopting the cloud. For instance, in April 2022, Accenture launched Sovereign Cloud Practice to increase innovation in the Cloud. Accenture Cloud First Sovereign Practise currently has new sovereign cloud facilities in Germany, Kronberg, Trondheim, Norway, Rome, and Paris. Sovereign cloud is a strategy that enables businesses to manage their data storage location, its accessibility, and how it is processed in a cloud environment in response to newly emerging industry standards and regulatory regulations in certain jurisdictions or industries. These centers, housed within Accenture Innovation Hubs, bring together industry, security, and technology experts from Accenture with partners from the ecosystem to speed up the digitization of corporate processes and reveal new data cooperation opportunities.

An increasing number of startups are concentrating on company improvement and expansion, which calls for large initial funding to create these resources. The demand for public cloud services is rising quickly because, in most cases, these services are provided at very low costs. In addition, the public cloud market is anticipated to grow as a result of the rise of enterprise trends such as, Choose Your Own Device (CYOD), Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT). Due to the pay-as-you-go service, no maintenance expenses, infrastructure initiatives, or long-term contracts are required for this service. These factors are anticipated to fuel the expansion of the public cloud market.

Private Cloud Market Analysis and Forecast

The global private cloud market was valued at USD 222.30 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% over the forecast period from 2023 to 2030. Businesses with variable networks frequently use the private cloud to ensure access and total control over the cloud environment. Enterprises are adopting a private cloud due to the necessity for data protection and compliance with the shifting regulatory environment. Companies aim to lower CAPEX while concentrating on business transformation projects that improve organizational agility.

Enterprises are increasingly adopting private cloud infrastructure due to the high volume of sensitive data they produce. Companies can better understand customer behavior and create new goods and services by analyzing patterns in real-time data. Hence, enterprises are continuously adopting private cloud infrastructure.

Vendors are continuously adopting various growth strategies to increase their presence in the market. For instance, in March 2022, Adobe announced the development of the ecosystem with new partners and tools. Through the launch of Adobe Experience Cloud, its private cloud network, the company started offering developers new tools for creating and deploying cloud-based apps that integrate seamlessly across its products. The extensive ecosystem of tech partners for Adobe includes FedEx, Anaplan, OneTrust, Walmart, PayPal, and The Weather Company, an IBM Business.

Hybrid Cloud Market Analysis and Forecast

The global hybrid cloud market size was valued at USD 90.28 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2% from 2023 to 2030. There has been a significant shift toward hybrid infrastructure services due to the expansion of cloud and industrialized services and the loss of traditional Data Center Outsourcing (DCO). A decline in traditional DCO is due to the increase in infrastructure utility services, colocation, and hosting spending. This is anticipated to fuel the transition to cloud hosting. Moreover, government agencies are refocusing their efforts on implementing hyper-scale clouds, which offer advantages including unified operations, data center modernization, application innovation, and security and governance. Furthermore, the cloud allows government organizations to handle cyclical demands or emergencies without overprovisioning hardware.

Hybrid cloud solutions offer enterprises a competitive edge by enabling scalability, advanced services, and secure infrastructure. This strategy provides a secure firewall for private services and sufficient integration. In addition, it offers several benefits, such as total support for the remote workforce, decreased operational costs, and improved scalability, control, security, and risk management. Hence, the extensive use of cloud computing services is expected to boost demand for hybrid cloud solutions over the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape

The market is highly competitive due to the presence of major players such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.; Amazon.com Inc.; Adobe Inc.; Google LLC; Microsoft Corp.; International Business Machines Corp; Oracle Corp.; Salesforce.com Inc.; SAP SE; and Workday, Inc. Companies are adopting several growth strategies, such as partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, and product launches, to stay afloat in this competitive industry. For instance, in May 2023, SAP SE expanded its partnership with Google Cloud, to introduce an open data offering that simplifies data landscapes and increases business intelligence. SAP Datasphere and Google's cloud-enable customers to build end-to-end data clouds that bring data from across their enterprise landscape, allowing businesses to view the entire data estate in real time and maximize the value of their SAP SE and Google Cloud software investments. The new Google Cloud open data offering complements SAP's RISE with SAP solution, allowing customers to view their most crucial data without duplication in real-time.
