The global public cloud services market was valued at US$ 242.53 Bn in 2020 and is expected to register strong growth, expanding at a CAGR of 16.5% during the forecast period from 2021 to 2029.
North America represented the largest public cloud services market worldwide in 2020, accounting for over 42% of the total market value. The U.S. was the largest public cloud services market in North America and worldwide. The strong market position of the region is primarily due to the presence of large number of established vendors and relatively higher penetration of cloud technology among business organizations across different industry verticals. The multitude of R&D and resulting investments dedicated towards the field of cloud computing has ensured relatively greater adoption of cloud solutions & services in the region. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is foreseen to become the most attractive and profitable business destination for public cloud service vendors during the latter half of the forecast period 2021 - 2029. At present, the penetration of cloud technology is relatively low in the region. The regulatory landscape, dynamic market maturity levels, and privacy & security concerns have resulted in inconsistent adoption of cloud technologies in the region. However, with the evolving IT landscape, it is projected that adoption of public cloud technologies will improve and change how service providers offer applications to their end-customers in the region.
In the base year 2020, the value contribution from cloud application services (SaaS) was largest in the global public cloud services market. The segment garnered around 45% of the global public cloud service revenue in the same year. The growth in this segment is majorly on the back of increased sales of applications including customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource management (ERM), and content workflow management among others. On the other hand, value contribution from cloud system infrastructure services (IaaS) is expected to register fastest growth. The on-going paradigm shift in the way businesses worldwide choose and manage their IT infrastructure, have necessitated them to install applications across multiple infrastructures, thereby augmenting demand for IaaS offerings.
