Cloud infrastructure automation software encompasses tools and platforms engineered to optimize resource management, deployment, scaling, and monitoring within cloud environments. This software is instrumental in empowering organizations to harness the scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of cloud computing, simultaneously diminishing operational intricacies and expediting time-to-market for applications and services.
The primary categories of cloud infrastructure automation software include code-to-automation and management and optimization. Code-to-automation denotes tools or systems facilitating task automation through programming or scripting. Various deployment models, including cloud and on-premises, are utilized by developers, architects, and DevOps teams.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.
The cloud infrastructure automation software market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cloud infrastructure automation software market statistics, including cloud infrastructure automation software industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with cloud infrastructure automation software market share, detailed cloud infrastructure automation software market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cloud infrastructure automation software industry. This cloud infrastructure automation software market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The cloud infrastructure automation software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.01 billion in 2024 to $2.3 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to cost efficiency, scalability, agility, complexity reduction, and security and compliance.
The cloud infrastructure automation software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.78 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to hybrid cloud adoption, edge computing growth, AL and machine learning integration, devOps culture expansion, and regulatory changes. Major trends in the forecast period include Kubernetes orchestration, infrastructure as code (IaC), serverless computing, zero trust security, and multi-cloud management.
The forecast of 13.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Imposed tariffs on imported DevOps tools and robotic process automation (RPA) engines might delay infrastructure orchestration capabilities. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The anticipated increase in robot installations is set to drive the expansion of the cloud infrastructure automation software market in the foreseeable future. These robot installations signify a significant step in the adoption of robotic technology within organizations, facilitating automation, efficiency enhancements, and innovation across various industries and applications. The uptick in robot installations can be attributed to advancements in technology, economic factors, and operational advantages. Cloud infrastructure automation software presents a scalable and adaptable solution for provisioning, monitoring, and managing fleets of robots across multiple locations, enabling businesses to achieve heightened operational efficiency, agility, and cost-effectiveness while ensuring seamless integration and coordination of robotic workflows. For instance, in September 2023, as per a report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), a non-profit organization based in Germany, there were 553,052 industrial robot installations across industries worldwide, indicating a 5% annual growth rate in 2022. Consequently, the growing demand for automation and optimization in IT infrastructure is fueling the expansion of the cloud infrastructure automation software market.
Prominent players in the cloud infrastructure automation software market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as infrastructure automation suites, to gain a competitive advantage. These suites streamline server configurations, software deployment, infrastructure discovery, and automation down to the network's infrastructure layer, while also providing telemetry on equipment performance to enhance decision-making in AI operations. For example, in February 2024, Dell Inc., a technology company based in the US, introduced a Telco Cloud Automation Suite comprising new software for cloud infrastructure automation, augmented capabilities for Telecom Infrastructure Blocks, and new partnerships. This suite is engineered to automate the orchestration and lifecycle management of multi-vendor network cloud infrastructure. Dell has seamlessly integrated this suite into its Telecom Infrastructure Blocks, offering support for 5G core workloads at the edge and certification for various 5G Core, OSS, BSS, and open RAN workloads. The suite aims to cater to the telecom market's transition towards codifying networks, distributing networks, exploring edge deployment, and embracing open RAN and cloud (vRAN) technologies.
In April 2024, International Business Machines Corporation, a technology company based in the US, completed the acquisition of HashiCorp. Inc. for approximately $6.4 billion. This strategic move by International Business Machines Corporation is poised to accelerate innovation and bolster go-to-market strategies, growth, and monetization initiatives. HashiCorp. Inc. is a US-based software company renowned for its multi-cloud infrastructure automation software.
