Cloud computing has grown into a vast and complex ecosystem of technologies, products, and services, giving rise to a multi-billion dollar economy where many cloud providers compete for an ever-expanding cloud market share.
Based on projections from IDC, worldwide spending on cloud services and infrastructure is forecast to double over the next five years, growing from a USD229 billion run rate in 2019 to almost USD500 billion by 2023.
As remote work, collaboration and digitalisation continues to intensify post Covid-19, cloud adoption will continue to be an ally for enterprises and we will continue to see immense growth in this sector.
