Cloud Computing Market by Service Model (IaaS (Compute, Storage, Networking), PaaS (Application Development & Integration, Database & Data, Analytics & Reporting), SaaS (CRM, SCM, Collaboration & Productivity)), Impact of AI - Global Forecast to 2030

The cloud computing market is expanding rapidly, with a projected market size anticipated to rise from about USD 1,294.9 billion in 2025 to USD 2,281.1 billion by 2030, featuring a CAGR of 12.0% during the forecast period. Businesses are driving the demand for cloud computing by seeking scalable IT infrastructure, remote work support, and real-time data access. Organizations are increasingly prioritizing AI, big data analytics, and automation, making cloud platforms more essential. The shift is moving from traditional on-premises systems to flexible, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments for greater agility and innovation.

“PaaS segment to account for the fastest growth during the forecast period”

Platform as a Service (PaaS) remains the fastest-growing segment in the cloud computing market, driven by evolving development needs and emerging technologies. Modern PaaS platforms now integrate AI/ML services, DevOps automation, and container orchestration tools such as Kubernetes, enabling faster and smarter application development. They offer low-code/no-code capabilities, built-in CI/CD pipelines, and support for microservices architectures, helping developers innovate with agility and reduce complexity. Enhanced scalability, integrated security, real-time monitoring, and automatic patch management ensure high performance and compliance. Serverless computing is also gaining traction within PaaS, allowing developers to deploy functions without provisioning infrastructure. Ideal for startups, developers, and large enterprises, PaaS accelerates time to market, lowers operational costs, and simplifies cross-team collaboration. With abstraction from hardware, runtime environments, and backend maintenance, organizations can focus on building intelligent, scalable, and user-centric applications while staying ahead in a fast-changing digital landscape.

“Public cloud to hold the largest market share during the forecast period”

Public cloud continues to dominate the cloud computing market due to its scalability, cost efficiency, and global reach. It provides on-demand access to computing resources such as servers, storage, databases, and applications via the internet, with no need for upfront hardware investment. Providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud now offer advanced capabilities, including generative AI tools, serverless computing, and edge integration, making the public cloud suitable for dynamic workloads and digital transformation. Its flexible pricing and robust security frameworks appeal to businesses of all sizes. A standout case is the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, which migrated to AWS in 2025 and deployed 2,000 AI models across 61,000 data pipelines. This enabled 55 million AI-driven decisions daily, reducing fraud losses by 50% and cutting loan approval times to under 10 minutes. Such real-world outcomes highlight how public cloud accelerates innovation and improves operational efficiency across industries.

“North America is leading in cloud computing with strong infrastructure and early adoption, while Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region driven by digital transformation and government-backed AI initiatives.”

North America continues to dominate the cloud computing landscape, leveraging mature digital infrastructure, widespread enterprise adoption, and the presence of major providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. The region is at the forefront of emerging technologies, including generative AI, serverless edge computing, and quantum-ready cloud services. Businesses are integrating tools such as Azure Arc for hybrid management, AWS’s Nitro Enclaves for secure computing, and AI-driven DevSecOps pipelines. Advancements in 5G edge partnerships and private 5G networks are enabling ultra-low latency applications in manufacturing, healthcare, and autonomous systems. Furthermore, initiatives such as sovereign cloud efforts and enhanced confidential computing are boosting data privacy and compliance. Together, these developments reinforce North America’s leadership in innovation, security, and scalability within the global cloud ecosystem.
