Cloud Professional Services Market Size

Cloud Professional Services Market Analysis

Public Cloud Category Dominates Industry

The public cloud category accounted for the larger revenue share in 2022, and it is also expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. The public cloud is provided by a third party over the public internet, which is available for everyone who wants to use it. In this approach, several resources, such as storage and other pieces of hardware, applications, and virtual servers, are available over the internet to the user, to meet their needs for scalability, pay-as-per-usage pricing strategy, and ease of deployment.

More than 80% of the businesses are using public cloud services, and more than 35% of the Indian companies are willing to spend on them. Small organizations are more willing to adopt public clouds because they help them reduce their new software, hardware, maintenance, and implementation costs.

In addition, consumer-facing companies require more elasticity and on-demand unlimited computing access, to quickly respond to the fluctuations in consumer demands. For instance, during China's Singles' Day shopping festival, e-commerce traffic can reach almost 30 times that of a normal shopping day.

Additionally, more than 65% of the small organizations' first preference is public cloud services, because of their cost-effectiveness. Moreover, almost 67% of the companies are expected to increase their spending on public cloud applications by 2023.

AI and ML Integration in Cloud Platforms for Enhanced Business Agility and Results

Globally, several companies adopted artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to support their remotely working employees, manage their IT infrastructure, and ensure proper functioning during the pandemic. It is now a common belief that AI and ML-based cloud applications have the potential to support data insights, the automation of manual tasks, and large-scale data analytics. Hence, every year, almost 91% of the businesses invest in some form of AI for some purpose. It is also expected that more than 44% of the private-sector organizations are going to invest in AI by 2030.

Some organizations are adopting AI to improve their customer experiences via innovation and automation in financial services, OTT, communication, gaming, and other solutions.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Is Expected To Grow at Highest Rate

The IaaS category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.9% over the next few years. IaaS provides networking, servers, memory, storage, and other connected hardware and software as a cloud service, which is allowing firms to replace their conventional on-premises servers. It gives flexibility to the end user when they require custom-built apps or standard software and also provides a repository for the storage of their data. Customers use these services on the internet via a pay-as-per-use model.

In addition, in conventional hosting services, the IT infrastructure is leased for a certain period and the client pays for the configuration and period regardless of the services they use. While, in the IaaS cloud computing platform, consumers dynamically scale the configuration in the services as their needs change and pay only for the services they use. IaaS is available via all three cloud models: private, public, and hybrid.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) Is Set To Grow at a Steady Rate

The PaaS category is expected to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period. The demand for PaaS is increasing among organizations for augmenting productivity, security, speed, and efficiency, which are all key markers of performance. In addition, the demand is also growing due to the rising need to reduce the time to market and the expenses on application development.

Regional Analysis

Asia-Pacific Region Is Expected To Witness Fastest Growth

The APAC region is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.2% over the next few years. The growth is primarily because with the help of cloud services, companies can reduce their operating expenses, enhance their IT infrastructure, and optimize their operations. The increasing demand for mobility and the prevalent cloud trends in Japan, India, and China are also propelling the growth of the market. Earlier, companies depended on on-premises hardware, but since the pandemic, the situation has almost changed, and companies have started adopting cloud-based services to provide better client experiences.

Moreover, the strong economies, presence of numerous digital hubs with advanced ICT infrastructure, and high IT spending are propelling the adoption of cloud professional services in the region. Moreover, many government policies have been implemented in regional countries to boost cloud adoption. Further, many of the tech giants, such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, have their data centers in India, which leads to an easy availability of cloud computing resources.

India is the among the fastest-growing economies, with a USD-3.5-trillion GDP already. Many companies here are redesigning their modus operandi, wherein the cloud provides a plethora of solutions. Compliance failure and security are great risk factors for companies, due to which many of them are using cloud-based services. Almost all ministries of the Indian government are using cloud services to enhance service delivery to the public.

In addition, more than 50 million new startups and small and medium enterprises in India are considering using cloud-based technologies. Improving the economy, increasing the literacy rate, enhancing the internet penetration, and implementing e-governance projects are the major focus areas of India’s digitalization initiative. The Indian government is augmenting the adoption of the cloud computing technology to expand its e-governance initiatives, to reduce corruption by ensuring quick service delivery and eliminating middlemen, who usually work on commissions.

Moreover, China, the most-populated country in the world, has more than 800 million internet users, who generate a huge amount of data, which must be stored efficiently and securely. Moreover, cloud-based servers are more affordable, secure, and scalable than on-site servers, which is why the demand for the former is escalating among the government agencies, large organizations, and financial entities in this country. Experts believe organizations in the country may increase their investment in public cloud services to 19.7% of their total IT spending in 2025.
