The anticipated rise in the number of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) is poised to be a significant driver for the growth of the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) market. SMBs, characterized by personnel and revenue falling below certain thresholds, are increasingly turning to IaaS providers to handle infrastructure components. This approach reduces maintenance and upgrade costs for SMBs, making IaaS an attractive solution. As an illustration, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), small businesses constitute 99.9% of all businesses in the United States. In 2021, there were 31.7 million small businesses in the U.S., accounting for 64.2% of net new private-sector jobs created from 2010 to 2021. The growing number of SMBs is a key driver for the expansion of the IaaS market.

The market growth of Infrastructure as a Service is further propelled by the widespread adoption of cloud computing across various industry verticals, including banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), government and education, healthcare, IT and telecom, retail, manufacturing, and media and entertainment. Industries are rapidly adopting IaaS due to its benefits, such as low cost, improved reliability, and scalability. In the banking sector, for instance, there is a notable adoption of IaaS for leveraging cloud computing advantages such as data analytics, AI-driven analytics with machine and deep learning algorithms, agility, and scale. According to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistics body for the European Union, 41% of organizations reported using cloud computing services in 2021, a 5-percentage point rise from 2020. The banking sector, in particular, has witnessed a higher rate of IaaS adoption, reflecting the substantial benefits offered by cloud computing. The rise in cloud services adoption across diverse industry verticals is a major driving force behind the growth of the Infrastructure as a Service market.

Privacy and data protection concerns are anticipated to impede the growth of the infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) market throughout the forecast period. Common security threats in the IaaS space include data leaks, compromises to accounts, authentication bypass, interface and API hacking, cyber-attacks, permanent data loss, insufficient awareness about the cloud's capabilities, application vulnerabilities, and misuse of cloud services. For example, according to CisCo, it is projected that by 2022, over 50% of enterprise data will be generated and processed outside traditional data centers or clouds, a significant increase from less than 10% in 2019. As data becomes more distributed, Infrastructure and Operations (I&O) organizations encounter challenges in providing effective data protection and management. Consequently, these privacy and data protection concerns, posing challenges for service providers, are expected to act as hindrances to the growth of the market.
