Analyst Opinion

The public cloud has gained popularity at a breakneck pace over the last decade. Many companies switched from their own data centers to public cloud services offered by companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and IBM. Even in a challenging economic-epidemic environment, global public cloud revenues have grown and are expected to reach nearly US$525 billion in 2023. The reason for this is that organizations around the world are increasingly finding the need to operate more efficiently and independently of location.

Furthermore, new cloud computing technologies, such as hyper-scale edge computing and secure access services, are disrupting related markets and creating new product categories that bring additional revenue streams to public cloud providers. Software as a Service (SaaS) continues to be the largest segment in the Public Cloud market, which has an impact on the market itself. The SaaS segment is expected to grow at a steady rate as enterprises take multiple routes to market for it (e.g., through cloud marketplaces) and continue to break larger monolithic applications into more complex parts for more efficient DevOps processes.

Due to market saturation, the global market for public cloud services is expected to continue growing at a comparatively lower rate than in previous years. The revenue and profit growth rate of individual companies is also likely to be lower as there are newcomers in the market every year; thereby increasing the competition.
