Global Infrastructure-as-a-service and Platform-as-a-service Market

Macroeconomic Challenges Shift Enterprise Focus to Cloud Optimization and Cost Control

Cloud infrastructure and platforms are the foundational elements that underpins enterprise digital transformation. The uncertain economic climate of 2022, which has carried over into 2023, has undoubtedly affected enterprise IT budgets and priorities. Macroeconomic trends-high interest rates, inflation, stagnant consumer demand, a weak housing market, layoffs in the tech sector-have made enterprises more cautious: they exercise more scrutiny and institute more levels of oversight over their technology investments. As a result, while the market for infrastructure-and platforms-as-a-service (Iaas and PaaS) continued to grow in 2022, it did so at a slower rate than the industry is accustomed to over the past 3 to 4 years.

In this report, Frost & Sullivan delves into the market for cloud IaaS and PaaS, the factors that will help this market grow, key challenges for public cloud infrastructure and platform providers, and growth opportunities for the future. The report also provides global and regional market revenues for 2022, and a forecast to 2028.
