The surge in AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics adoption contributes to market growth. Training and running modern AI models requires massive compute, high-performance GPUs, and elastic infrastructure, capabilities that cloud platforms are uniquely positioned to deliver at scale. As organizations build AI-enabled products, automate operations, and implement predictive analytics, their reliance on cloud services continues to rise sharply.

The rise of hybrid and multicloud strategies is also driving the market. Companies increasingly prefer diversified architectures to avoid vendor lock-in, improve resiliency, and optimize performance. Modern cloud-management platforms, container orchestration, and cross-cloud networking make it easier to run applications seamlessly across providers, encouraging broader adoption. According to Flexera’s annual State of the Cloud, nearly one-third of enterprises now allocate over USD 12 million each year solely to public-cloud services as AI-related investments accelerate, according to new industry indicators. With cloud costs running about 17% higher than planned, companies are stepping up efforts to rein in spending 60% are increasing reliance on managed service providers, while 59% are strengthening their FinOps teams to improve cost governance and optimize resource use.

Growth in edge computing and IoT ecosystems adds another layer of momentum. Connected manufacturing, smart cities, autonomous systems, and distributed retail environments require low-latency processing and localized compute. This fuels demand for edge-cloud architectures, where centralized cloud resources work in tandem with regional or on-device processing.

Security and compliance advancements are further accelerating cloud migration. Providers now offer robust cloud-native security suites, zero-trust models, automated threat detection, and regulatory compliance frameworks. As data-sovereignty policies tighten globally, cloud hyperscalers’ expansion into new regions also boosts adoption by enabling local processing and storage within required jurisdictions.
