Middle East Cloud Applications Market

Middle East Cloud Applications Market by Application (ERP, CRM, HCM, SCM, and Business Intelligence and Analytics), Organization Size, Vertical (BFSI, Manufacturing, and Telecommunications), and Country - Forecast to 2024

Report Code: TC 3358 Jan, 2020, by marketsandmarkets.com

[110 Pages Report] MarketsandMarkets expects the  Middle East cloud applications market size to grow from USD 2.0 billion in 2019 to USD 4.5 billion by 2024, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 17.5% during the forecast period. Cloud applications can be implemented faster and provide scalability, flexibility, and agile computing services that help enterprises focus on their core businesses. These services help in reducing the cost of deploying IT infrastructure, hardware, and hiring skilled resources. These benefits are expected to drive the adoption of cloud applications in the Middle East region.

Middle East Cloud Applications Market

Among applications, the collaboration and content management segment to witness high growth during the forecast period

The adoption of cloud Enterprise Content Management (ECM) among SMEs and large enterprises has increased due to benefits, such as easy implementation, low operating costs, and increased storage space, which they achieve by digitalizing their operations over the cloud. Cloud ECM offers a central location for integrated information, which enables staff members to work from remote locations anytime and helps them in improving productivity and performance. Cloud collaboration enables sharing documents and files stored on cloud, where they can be accessed by others through cloud computing. Cloud collaboration solutions enable enterprises to store data in a centralized repository, while they also ensure optimum security policies. The cloud-based collaboration solutions have enabled multiple users to perform editing online and share documents with users in real time.

Among verticals, the BFSI vertical to hold the highest market share in 2019

The Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) vertical is adopting digitalization initiatives at a rapid pace to meet the rising customer expectations and sustain the highly competitive market. Cloud-based services help vendors efficiently meet IT needs, while they also save Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operating Expenditure (OPEX). The banking sector needs to store and manage customers’ confidential information, such as credit card details, transaction details, and personal information. This data needs to be securely stored as losing such data might result in customer loss and may create a negative brand value in the market. This is leading to the growing adoption of cloud computing services.

Middle East Cloud Applications Market

Saudi Arabia to hold the largest market size during the forecast period

Saudi Arabia is one of the leading investors in IT technologies in the Middle East region. The growth of cloud applications is limited in the country as compared to other technologically developed countries; however, the enterprises in Saudi Arabia has been showing positive signs and inclination toward the usage of cloud-based applications. The growth of cloud applications is mainly driven by the initiatives undertaken by local government entities to foster the adoption of new technologies and increase awareness of the benefits of cloud-based enterprise applications among enterprises. The  cloud application vendors have focused on expanding their presence in Saudi Arabia by partnering with local vendors, which is further expected to drive the adoption of cloud applications in the country.
