Cloud Computing Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

The Cloud Computing Market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of ~17% during the forecast period, reaching around USD 1,000 billion by 2027. Key factors influencing the growth of the cloud computing market are the increasing adoption of AI and big data technologies, the need for massive data storage requirements, and organizational agility & flexibility. With the increasing demand for data security, cost of computation devices, and massive and steadily increasing data storage requirements, the demand for cloud computing is increasing. The world generated 64.2 zettabytes of data in 2020, and this number is expected to rise by producing 181 zettabytes of data in 2025. All this data needs to be stored somewhere, however, it is extremely costly and insecure to store data in physical data storing devices. Cloud computing provides cloud storage that is cheaper and easier to manage than storage devices. Security walls in cloud storage are extremely difficult to be penetrated by hackers hence the chances of data loss are extremely low. Thus, creating tremendous opportunities for players offering cloud computing services.
