COVID-19 Impact on Cloud Computing Market by Service Type (Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS)), Vertical and Region - Global Forecast to 2021
[63 Pages Report] The global impact of COVID-19 on cloud market size is expected to grow from USD 233 billion in 2019 to USD 295 billion by 2021, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.5% during the forecast period. Major factors driving the growth of the market include enterprises’ need to support remote workforce to induce investment in IT infrastructure for hyperscalers, cloud service providers (CSPs), internet service providers (ISPs), and managed hosting providers, rise in demand for cloud-based business continuity tools and services and suitability of public cloud environment best suited for the current unprecedented scenario.
The retail segment to show the highest growth rate during the forecast period within the global cloud industry
The consumer goods & retail segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR in the cloud market during the forecast period, followed by the IT & ITeS segment. Retailers are upgrading their IT infrastructure to take advantage of the unified and collaborated workforce to increase overall productivity. Additionally, the majority of the retailers are moving their focus on commerce websites as the online shopping has gained traction during the pandemic as the majority of the population is isolated at home amidst pandemic
The healthcare segment to record higher investment and growth in 2020 within the global cloud market
The healthcare systems need scalable and secured cloud infrastructure to manage and maintain patient information with high speed and flexibility. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a high need for technologies such as cloud computing for the analysis of patients’ data. As the number of electronic health records is increasing, healthcare providers are expanding the use of scalable and highly secure storage cloud solutions to cater to a large number of cases.
Private doctors and healthcare institutions are providing online consulting amidst country lockdowns. The need for mobile ambulatory services has increased due to the virus outbreak. These facilities and services need cloud-based communication and collaboration platforms to improve operational efficiency and employee productivity. Healthcare providers are developing cloud-based applications to gain clinical insights on COVID-19 and estimate resource requirements, such as ICU beds and ventilators.
Thus, increased data analytics and clinical insight requirements, and high spending on cloud-based application development and ERP solutions amidst the COVID-19 pandemic are creating revenue opportunities for cloud service providers.
Software as a service (SaaS) solution segment to hold the largest size of the cloud market during the forecast period
Based on the technology, the software as a service (SaaS) solution segment of the market is projected to hold a larger market size during the forecast period. With the rise in the cases of COVID-19, cloud software solutions are facing substantial hit. There are a lot of verticals of cloud, such as manufacturing, consumer goods, and retail, etc. where all the operations are put on hold. But organizations have changed their priorities, such as organizations are utilizing cloud automation and increasing their online presence by developing commerce websites on cloud platforms to decrease the impact of COVID-19 on productivity and operational efficiency. Such use cases are evolved in this COVID-19 pandemic.
Some new use cases have been generated along with application areas where the demand for cloud software solutions has witnessed a considerable increase. The growth of SaaS software solutions will be judiciously impacted by verticals, such as transportation, logistics, and manufacturing. Since the adoption of the cloud is less compared to other verticals, the disruption due to COVID-19 will have a moderate impact. It will reduce the software solution's growth to a smaller extent.
APAC cloud market to record the highest growth rate during the forecast period
While technology spending in Asia Pacific has increased over a period, however the setback due to recent COVID-19 pandemic is imminent. Cloud technology adoption is expected to increase in sectors where’ work from home’ initiative can help in sustaining enterprise business functions. Those sectors include IT & ITeS, telecommunication, BFSI, Government.
Other sectors such as healthcare & life sciences, travel, hospitality retail, manufacturing, etc. are expected to increase spending on public cloud services in the next 2-3 years. According to a statement by a leading CSP in the region, the expenditure on public cloud data center hardware and software grew by 7%. In comparison, the spending on traditional data centers and private cloud fell by 1%.
