Cloud Computing Market Dynamics

The significant factors such as rapid digitization across various industries, rising in operating smart devices, and the internet across the globe coupled with the rising consumption of big data is fueling the market growth. Moreover, the augmented use of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, 5g, and real-time analytics by Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence will boost the implementation of cloud technology among large enterprises. Cloud computing technology provides various functions like networking power and storage processing by using AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

As per the World Economic Forum, advanced technologies like AI, IoT, and cloud computing are supported by the fourth industrial revolution. Therefore, with the help of these innovative technologies, companies among various industry verticals are integrating cloud computing. Furthermore, the growing adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), especially among the Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs), is again surging the cloud market share. The government of developing and developed countries concentrates on implementing specific steps and programs to support innovative technologies in several industries such as BFSI, retail, consumer goods, and others.

Therefore, to promote these technologies worldwide, the UAE government has launched digital programs & initiatives, including the Fifth Generation – 5G, Smart Dubai, Digital Invoicing, and several different technology-related programs. This step will create opportunities for the cloud computing market demand in the upcoming years. The paradigm shift towards rapid digitalization and rising focus on providing better customer experiences further propel the demand for cloud computing services.

However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 played a crucial role in setting the work from home model by companies to ensure their employee’s health and manage operational competency. Hence, it has augmented the demand for Software-as-a-Service collaboration solutions. Due to this, individuals prefer to stay at home to maintain the social distance rule, which has increased the ideal time. This factor also encourages individuals to step ahead towards different streaming platforms like Apple TV, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, and Disney+, which boosts the demand for IaaS to capture the changing demand of the consumer. On the other high edge of the spectrum, the risk of critical data loss and the increasing cyber-attacks are the two significant factors restraining the cloud market.
