The growing adoption of cloud services is anticipated to drive the expansion of the bare metal cloud market in the future. Cloud services encompass a range of offerings provided by third-party organizations on demand to client companies or customers via the internet, facilitating smooth business operations. Bare metal cloud enables organizations to access dedicated servers without the use of virtualization. For example, in June 2024, AAG IT, a UK-based IT support services company, reported that cloud infrastructure services generated $191 billion in revenue during the 12-month period from the beginning of 2021 to 2022. It is expected that by 2025, global cloud storage will reach 200 zettabytes (2 billion terabytes). Thus, the increasing adoption of cloud services and enterprise mobility services is fueling the growth of the bare metal cloud market.

The increasing number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is expected to drive the growth of the bare metal cloud market in the future. Small and medium-sized enterprises are defined as businesses that fall within a specific size range based on criteria such as annual revenue or the number of employees. SMEs require cost-effective, scalable, and high-performance digital solutions. Bare metal cloud services offer the necessary flexibility, performance, and security, making them a preferred option for SMEs to support their applications and workloads. For example, in April 2023, a report published by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a U.S.-based organization, indicated that 50% of small business owners reported working more hours than they did the previous year in 2022. This reflects a significant 20-percentage point increase in the number of small business owners indicating longer working hours. There are approximately 33.2 million small businesses in the United States, which together account for 99.9% of all U.S. businesses. Thus, the rise in the number of small and medium-sized enterprises has contributed to the growth of the bare metal cloud market.
