The cloud management platform market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.58 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9%. Anticipated growth in the upcoming period is tied to integrating with DevOps practices, a dedicated focus on cost optimization strategies, the integration of container orchestration and Kubernetes, and the automation of governance and policies. Major trends expected in this forecast period encompass enterprise digital transformation initiatives, the deployment of hybrid cloud systems, advancements in container orchestration and management, and efforts towards enhancing user experiences and interfaces.

The increasing flexibility of cloud computing technology is poised to significantly drive the growth of cloud management platforms. Cloud computing strives to enhance internet-based database capabilities and scalability while concurrently reducing costs and mitigating risks. Organizations leverage cloud computing, employing remote computers hosted on the Internet, to effectively store, manage, and process critical data. These advancements and applications enable the dissemination of computing services ranging from servers, networking, software, analytics, storage, databases, to intelligence via the Internet, fostering rapid innovation, providing more adaptable resources, and yielding cost efficiencies. For instance, as per the Flexera 2022 State of the Cloud report, derived from a survey involving 753 respondents on cloud adoption conducted in 2021, the data revealed a surge in year-on-year spending on cloud services, with 53% of participants allocating $1.2 million in 2022, up from 38% in 2021. Consequently, the escalating adaptability of cloud computing technology is poised to serve as a catalyst propelling the growth trajectory of the cloud management platform market.

The escalating landscape of cybersecurity threats is anticipated to be a significant driver propelling the growth of the cloud management platform market in the upcoming years. Cybersecurity threats encompass hostile actions or potential dangers targeting networks, computers, and digital data with the intent of gaining unauthorized access, causing disruption, inflicting damage, or pilfering information. Cloud management platforms (CMPs) assume a critical role in fortifying cybersecurity by overseeing and managing security measures across diverse cloud environments be it public, private, or hybrid clouds. This capability facilitates swifter identification and response to potential threats, bolstering overall security posture. For instance, in November 2022, as reported by the Australian Signals Directorate's Australian Cyber Security Centre, cybercrime reports surpassed 76,000 an uptick of 13% compared to the preceding fiscal year. This equates to one complaint lodged every 7 minutes, marking a noticeable acceleration from the previous fiscal year's rate of one complaint every 8 minutes. Hence, the mounting prevalence of cybersecurity threats stands as a pivotal catalyst propelling the cloud management platform market forward.

The adoption of multi-cloud management platforms stands as a pivotal trend within the cloud management market. These platforms encompass a suite of services designed to tackle challenges linked with multi-cloud setups, enabling streamlined management of hybrid IT environments. Functionality includes tasks such as identifying applications and mapping dependencies, facilitating migration planning, optimizing capacity, controlling cloud costs, automating security protocols, enhancing performance and availability, and implementing intelligent IT service management. These functionalities collectively streamline workflows and reduce operational costs for businesses. As an illustration, in October 2021, VMware, a US-based leader in cloud computing and virtualization software, introduced Cross-Cloud services. This offering provides a comprehensive solution for organizations seeking simplified management of multi-cloud setups. Its features, including support for diverse application platforms, standardized operations, data portability, and robust security measures, effectively address the intricacies of cloud operations. As a result, this launch significantly reduces operational overhead and streamlines the management of multi-cloud environments, contributing notably to the evolution of the cloud management platform market.

Prominent players within the cloud management platform sector are directing their efforts towards product launches, particularly focusing on innovative solutions such as the multi-hybrid cloud and edge-integrated management platforms aimed at facilitating holistic cloud transformations. The concept of a multi-hybrid cloud denotes a computing environment that amalgamates multiple public and private clouds, fostering seamless mobility of data and applications across diverse cloud infrastructures. An exemplar of this trend occurred in April 2023 when Cognizant, a leading US-based multinational IT services and consulting firm, unveiled Cognizant Skygrade. This platform stands out due to its ability to seamlessly integrate across varied multi-cloud environments, offering unified perspectives, expediting migration processes, providing access to diverse cloud functionalities, minimizing risks, enabling comprehensive management, and adopting an industry-specific approach. These distinctive features collectively position Skygrade as a valuable asset in the cloud management platform market. It equips organizations with an efficient, all-encompassing tool to oversee, modernize, and optimize their cloud landscapes while mitigating risks and fostering innovation tailored to specific industry needs.
