Cloud Computing Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence

The cloud computing market is valued at USD 0.86 trillion in 2025 and is forecast to touch USD 2.26 tillion by 2030, reflecting a brisk 21.20% CAGR during the period. The surge is tied to AI-first digital‐transformation agendas, enterprise migration of core applications to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms, expanding sovereign-cloud rules in Europe and the Gulf, and the rollout of sub-10 millisecond edge-cloud zones that underpin extended-reality (XR) and autonomous-operations use cases. Hyperscale providers are therefore racing to enlarge GPU-rich data-center footprints, while industry-specific cloud blueprints simplify compliance for health, finance, and the public sector. At the same time, hybrid-cloud strategies gain prominence as enterprises seek workload portability and cost discipline. Intensifying competition among providers is pushing multi-cloud interoperability to the forefront, positioning open ecosystems over lock-in as a new source of value creation.

  • By service model, SaaS led with 53.5% revenue share in 2024, while the Platform-as-a-Service segment is projected to advance at 23.2% CAGR to 2030.  
  • By deployment model, the Private-Cloud segment held 47.3% of the cloud computing market share in 2024; Hybrid-Cloud adoption is slated to expand at 22.8% CAGR through 2030.  
  • By end-user vertical, healthcare captured 21.3% CAGR—highest among all industries—while banking, financial services, and insurance accounted for 27.9% share of the cloud computing market size in 2024.  
  • By Organization Size, the large enterprise segment held 53.7% of the cloud computing market share in 2024; SMEs adoption is slated to expand at 21.7% CAGR through 2030.  
  • By geography, North America retained 24.5% share of the 2024 cloud computing market, whereas Asia-Pacific is set to register the fastest 22.1% CAGR to 2030.

Segment Analysis

By Service Model: PaaS accelerates application velocity

Platform-as-a-Service is forecast to compound at 23.2% from 2025-2030, the quickest pace among service models. SaaS retained a commanding 53.5% of 2024 revenue, while Infrastructure-as-a-Service remains the elastic foundation underneath. The PaaS wave is fueled by container orchestration, serverless runtimes, and low-code tools that compress release cycles from months to weeks. Amazon earmarked USD 150 billion for AI-centric data centers catering to those PaaS workloads. As providers enrich platforms with built-in security and AI services, developers gain more freedom to focus on user value rather than plumbing.
In the cloud computing market, PaaS vendors increasingly differentiate through industry frameworks and integrated MLOps. These capabilities shorten deployment of advanced analytics, raise code quality, and reduce developer toil. The combination positions PaaS as a strategic lever for digital products, underpinning rapid experimentation and continuous delivery.

By Deployment Model: Hybrid architectures balance control and scale

Although private clouds captured 47.3% revenue in 2024, hybrid clouds are expanding at 22.8% CAGR. The model preserves data closeness for sensitive workloads while bursting to public capacity for testing, analytics, and disaster recovery. The cloud computing market size for hybrid deployments is set to rise sharply as firms standardize Kubernetes control planes across on-premises cores and outsourced capacity.
Oracle’s cross-cloud pact with AWS eliminates data-egress fees and permits Oracle Database to run seamlessly on either provider. Interoperability curbs vendor-lock fears and lets customers optimize on performance or price. Consequently, the hybrid strategy is viewed as a safety valve for compliance and a springboard for modernization without risky forklift migrations.

By End-User Vertical: Healthcare digitizes at record pace

Healthcare and life-sciences workloads will grow at 21.3% CAGR through 2030—fastest in the cloud computing market. Electronic health records, telemedicine, and AI-enabled diagnostics depend on high-performance, compliant clouds. Banking, financial services, and insurance hold the greatest revenue share at 27.9%, leveraging real-time fraud analytics and regulatory reporting hosted on scalable platforms.
For providers, healthcare-specific offerings embed audit trails, encryption, and clinical-decision support. Such deep verticalization minimizes setup complexity and accelerates time-to-value, bolstering adoption even in historically cautious environments.

By Organization Size: SMEs tap enterprise-class tech

Small and medium-sized enterprises represent the most vibrant cohort at 21.7% CAGR. Cloud eliminates heavy upfront capital outlays, allowing SMEs to deploy ERP, ecommerce, and data analytics through subscription models. While large enterprises still account for 53.7% of spending, SME momentum widens the customer base and spurs provider innovation in simplified pricing, guided onboarding, and managed services.
In the cloud computing industry, SME-focused bundles include one-click backups, pre-set security policies, and vertical templates. These design choices lower skill barriers and extend reach into emerging economies where on-prem hardware would be cost-prohibitive.

Geography Analysis

North America commanded 24.5% of 2024 revenue thanks to an early lead in cloud adoption and dense clusters of digital-native enterprises. Investment continues: Amazon is channeling USD 30 billion into Pennsylvania and North Carolina campuses, while Microsoft plans USD 80 billion in fiscal-year 2025 capacity. Growth in the region now pivots around AI workloads that demand proximity to talent and research hubs. Canada and Mexico open incremental opportunities as firms spread workloads for redundancy and cost optimization.
Europe balances aggressive digital-transformation targets with stringent data-sovereignty rules. Organizations favor hybrid architectures that keep sensitive data local yet leverage global clouds for development and analytics. Providers such as OVHcloud emphasize European data residency as a unique selling point. Geopolitical shifts post-Brexit compel UK businesses to navigate evolving cross-border data agreements, further reinforcing hybrid adoption.
Asia–Pacific is the engine of future expansion, with a projected 22.1% CAGR. Infrastructure projects scale rapidly: Sify will invest USD 5 billion in Indian AI-focused data centers. Domestic champions such as Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud dominate China, while international providers target Japan, South Korea, India, and fast-growing ASEAN states. Governments back cloud-first policies and smart-city programs, accelerating demand for scalable platforms.

Competitive Landscape

Significant moves include Oracle’s USD 40 billion Nvidia-chip order, Amazon’s multi-state AI campus rollouts, and Microsoft’s bespoke Azure AI silicon roadmap. Multi-cloud collaboration—Oracle Database@AWS and @Google Cloud—highlights a pivot from exclusivity to ecosystem value. White-space niches arise in sovereign-cloud offerings, edge nodes for autonomous systems, and developer-friendly platforms targeting SMEs.
Emergent disruptors such as Snowflake and DigitalOcean focus on narrow workload classes, leveraging agility over scale. Proprietary chip lines (AWS Graviton, Google TPU, Microsoft Azure Cobalt) drive performance per watt gains and differentiate cost economics. The playing field remains dynamic, yet capital intensity and network effects favor incumbents able to sustain multi-billion-dollar annual investments.
