The telecom cloud market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $39.1 billion in 2023 to $45.66 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the adoption of hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, the emergence of cloud-native architectures, early acceptance of NFV (Network Function Virtualization), compliance with regulatory standards, and advancements in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.

The telecom cloud market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $90.6 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of customer-centric solutions, heightened security measures, the continued expansion of cloud-native architectures, a growing demand for edge computing, and an increased automation of network processes. Noteworthy trends expected during this period encompass a heightened focus on customer experience, the deployment of 5G networks, the integration of edge computing, the implementation of Open RAN (Radio Access Network), and the utilization of network slicing for the provision of customized services.

The surge in demand for telecommuting (WFH) methods stands as a significant driver for the telecom cloud market. The adoption of work-from-home practices became widespread due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing organizations to close offices for an extended period. The telecom cloud enables the deployment of workers beyond the conventional office setting. As reported by Forbes in June 2023, 12.7% of full-time employees are working remotely, and 28.2% follow a hybrid model. The trend is expected to continue, with an estimated 32.6 million Americans working remotely by 2025, leading to increased demand for telecom cloud solutions and services.

The rapid rollout of 5G networks is anticipated to fuel the growth of the telecom cloud market. 5G, the fifth generation of wireless technology, offers higher data speeds and lower latency, making it suitable for data-intensive applications. The increasing adoption of 5G will result in a surge in data traffic, necessitating telecom operators to enhance network capacity and capabilities. According to Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson in May 2023, the global deployment of 5G networks is underway, with around 240 networks, and it is projected to increase by approximately 85% by 2028. Additionally, 5G wireless connections rose by 76% to 1.05 billion in 2022, expected to reach 1.9 billion by the end of 2023 and 5.9 billion by 2027, as per 5G Americas in April 2023.

Technological innovations and advancements are emerging as a key trend in the telecom cloud market. Many companies in this sector are developing technologically advanced solutions with enhanced features. Artificial intelligence-powered automation is a notable advancement, enabling communication service providers to automate self-diagnostics and problem identification. For example, in 2021, IBM launched Cloud Pak for Network Automation, an AI-driven telco cloud platform facilitating network operations automation for CSPs, allowing them to modernize networks, transition to zero-touch operations, reduce OPEX, and deliver services more efficiently.

Major companies in the telecom cloud market are expanding their operations through strategic partnerships. This approach involves leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits.
