Public Cloud Market Size By Deployment (SaaS, IaaS, PaaS), By Organization Size (Large Enterprise, SME), By Application (BFSI, Healthcare, Media and Entertainment, Automotive, Government, Retail and Consumer Goods, Manufacturing, IT & Telecom) & Forecast, 2023 - 2032

Public Cloud Market Size

Public Cloud Market size exceeded USD 400 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to expand at over 10% CAGR between 2023 and 2032, attributed to the availability of cloud integrated with big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML).
 

Surging public cloud spending is one of the biggest factors driving the market growth. For instance, India’s public cloud services (PCS) market spending is slated to reach over 7 billion by the end of 2024. Moreover, large companies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), which plans to invest nearly USD 4.4 billion in India by 2030, are aiding in setting up a strong cloud infrastructure in Asia.
 

Furthermore, escalating integration of big data, AI, and ML with the cloud, which enables users to visualize, analyze, and monitor unprocessed data using combination technology, is set to complement product adoption. As ML learns patterns from stored data for predictive analysis, mounting deployment of AI and ML is fueling the market expansion. In a recent instance, OpenAI, an AI tech company, along with tech behemoth Microsoft, made their Azure OpenAI service available in November 2022 that combines open-source and cloud-based ML to help developers incorporate AI models into their existing infrastructure.
 

Surging data breaches and cyberattacks may restrain the industry progression

Despite a positive outlook for product adoption, the public cloud market faces a major hurdle in the form of data privacy and information security concerns. The government and healthcare sectors are highly susceptible to cyberattacks and data breaches. Even though cloud technology helps businesses increase efficiency and cut costs for data management, increasing rates of data theft have depleted trust ability. In October 2022, the U.S. government released the country’s new cybersecurity strategy to keep IoT devices safe. The plan consists of the labeling system and strategies for cybersecurity resilience.
 

Public Cloud Market Analysis

In terms of deployment model, the SaaS segment accounted for 60% share of the public cloud market in 2022. The burgeoning interest of enterprises in cloud-based AI software for optimizing operations, advancing digitalization in business models, and strengthening corporate flexibility is propelling the market expansion. To cite an instance, in February 2023, Integreon, a legal and business outsourced services provider, launched CyberHawk-AI, an innovative automated technology, using RadarFirst’s SaaS privacy incident management technology.
 

Based on application, the public cloud market share from the IT & telecom segment is expected to surpass a valuation of USD 250 billion by 2032, owing to  the strong dependence of large companies involved in the telecom sector on cloud services. For instance, in May 2022, Vodafone, a British telecom firm, collaborated with Google Cloud on Vodafone’s Unified Performance Management (UPM) platform to plan, build, and manage its network across Europe.  
 

With respect to organization size, the public cloud market revenue from the SME segment is projected to reach USD 750 billion by 2032. Large investments required to set up on-premises data storage infrastructure encourage SME to use IaaS or SaaS solutions to eliminate the need for onsite infrastructure and servers, reducing costs for the company and increasing data accessibility. The growing number of SME across the world is foreseen to spur product adoption. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, in 2021, 99.9% of all domestic businesses were SME.
 

The North America public cloud market held around USD 200 billion revenue in 2022, on account of supportive government initiatives towards AI and IoT-based services in the region. Recently, in November 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) awarded a more than USD 4.5 million ‘Internet for All’ grant to Idaho for deploying affordable, equitable, and reliable high-speed internet networks and digital skill training programs throughout the state.

The new service is designed specifically to support Protected Health Information (PHI) in the cloud and support both analytical and transactional workloads.
 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic expedited digital transformation in developing countries, which significantly impelled the market penetration. Cloud computing became a necessary measure for the seamless operation of businesses in light of the prevalent remote working trend induced by stringent social distancing protocols and lockdowns set by governments worldwide. Small enterprises shifted toward cloud storage and public network infrastructure for remote data access, which notably benefitted business growth during the pandemic.
