DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Cloud Services Global Market Opportunities And Strategies To 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report describes and evaluates the global cloud service market (also known as the cloud computing market). It covers two five-year periods, 2014 to 2018, termed the historic period, and 2018 through 2022, the forecast period.
The global cloud services market reached a value of nearly $325.1 billion in 2018, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7% since 2014, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.9% to nearly $528.4 billion by 2022.
Growth in the cloud services market in the historic period resulted from enterprises' increasing preference for shifting in-house IT infrastructure to third parties to minimize operational costs. Increased internet penetration, technology development, a low interest rate environment, and favorable government initiatives also drove the cloud services market.
The capital-intensive environment of the cloud services industry, which requires frequent investment in updating of IT infrastructure to stay efficient and competitive, government regulations, and cyber security concerns restrained the cloud services market in the historic period.
Going forward, increasing adoption of the Internet of Things, rising penetration of e-commerce, and the development of smart cities will drive cloud services market growth. Data localization, rising interest rates, and reductions in free trade could hinder cloud services market growth in future.
The cloud services market is segmented by type into software as a service (SaaS), business process as a service (BPaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and platform as a service (PaaS). Software as a service accounted for the largest share of the cloud services market in 2018 at 42.5%. The Infrastructure as a service market will be the fastest-growing segment going forward at a CAGR of 30.6%.
North America is the largest market for cloud service providers, accounting for 50.1% of the global market. It was followed by Western Europe, Asia-Pacific and then the other regions. Going forward, South America and Asia-Pacific will be the fastest growing regions in this market, where growth will be at CAGRs of 28% and 20.7% respectively. These will be followed by the Middle East and Africa where the markets will grow at CAGRs of 20.1% and 20.7% respectively.
The cloud services industry is fairly concentrated: a small number of large entities command significant market shares and a large number of small entities have minor shares. Players in the market include Microsoft, Amazon, International Business Machines Corporation, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp, and Google.
The global IT services market, of which the cloud services market is the smallest segment, reached a value of nearly $2,229.8 billion in 2018, having grown at a CAGR of 9.6% since 2014, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.9% to nearly $3,495.5 billion by 2022.
The hardware support services market is the largest segment of the IT services market, and is worth $1,078.7 billion globally and has grown at a CAGR of 9.5% during the historic period. This is followed by software and BPO services, the second largest segment, accounting for 37% of the IT services market. Hardware support services will also be the fastest growing segment in the IT services market at a CAGR of 12% during 2018-2022.
The top opportunities in the global cloud services market will arise in the software as a service (SaaS) segment, which will gain $85.8 billion of global annual sales by 2022. Of the 48 countries covered in this report, the cloud services market size will gain the most in the USA at $52 billion of annual sales by 2022.
