Cloud Infrastructure Services Market

Global Cloud Infrastructure Services Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global cloud infrastructure services market is predicted to reach USD 87.49 billion in 2024 and USD 200.14 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 18% during the forecast period.

The growing investment of the state in digital transformation and rising awareness among organizations regarding the benefits of cloud technologies are the main factors driving the expansion within the global cloud infrastructure services market. The growing necessity of the cloud for business continuity is another major factor that has raised the demand for cloud infrastructure services within the global market.  A virtual infrastructure accessed through the web or a network is cloud infrastructure. This refers to the services on demand, in other words, the delivery of the products or services via a model infrastructure as a service (IaaS), a delivery model of cloud computing.

Global Cloud Infrastructure Services Market Drivers:

The demand for cloud infrastructure services is expected to grow within the forecast period due to the supply of those services at a really low cost, and their scalability, flexibility, and security are a number of the factors driving demand for the market. The rising pressure due to indefinite economic and business conditions is forcing numerous companies to opt for flexible IT solutions, thus shifting to the OPEX model provided by cloud infrastructure services.

Moreover, companies and organizations of all sizes are gradually choosing cloud infrastructure services to lower the value of server space and enhance efficiency alongside access to knowledge anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, the backup as a service is predicted to grow within the coming years. Enterprises that lack enough funds and have fewer funds to allocate to several department heads are choosing cloud infrastructure services to keep up their storage hardware or infrastructure. The growing maintenance and infrastructure costs push the market's demand because they help lower capital and operational expenditures. The rising demand for the pay-as-you-go model is quickly gaining popularity amongst enterprises and organizations. This model helps enterprises reduce their cost, as they're going only to be charged for what has been used.

The requirement of scalable infrastructure by various enterprises to outspread their business operations and customer base also propels market growth. Because the competition among market players is increasing, organizations are trying to find more advanced business models to scale back their time to plug and switch to cloud infrastructure to enhance business agility. The risks of knowledge theft and data leakage hinder enterprises' adoption of cloud solutions. Cloud service providers employ third-party service providers to enable cost-effective and versatile operations. This increases the probability of knowledge being stolen because it is difficult to assess the safety levels of these external servers. Additionally, the adoption of knowledge localization policies across the world is hounding the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global cloud infrastructure services market:

With the growth in the cases of coronavirus, cloud software solutions are facing a substantial hit. There are tons of cloud verticals, like manufacturing, commodity, retail, etc., where all the operations are placed on hold. However, organizations have changed their priorities, such as utilizing cloud automation and increasing their online presence by developing commerce websites on cloud platforms to decrease the impact of COVID-19 on productivity and operational efficiency. Such use cases have evolved during this coronavirus pandemic. The expansion of SaaS software solutions is going to be judiciously impacted by verticals like transportation, logistics, and manufacturing. Meanwhile, cloud adoption is smaller than that of other verticals; the disruption caused by COVID-19 will have a moderate impact, and it'll reduce the software solution's growth to a smaller extent.
