The rise in the number of small and medium-sized businesses is expected to propel the growth of the infrastructure as a service (IAAS) market going forward. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are businesses whose personnel and revenue numbers fall below certain limits. The rise in the number of small and medium-sized businesses is primarily due to increasing entrepreneurial activity, as more individuals are pursuing business opportunities driven by innovation, access to digital tools, and supportive startup ecosystems. Infrastructure as a service supports small and medium-sized businesses by providing scalable, cost-effective, and on-demand computing resources that help them operate efficiently without the need for heavy upfront investments in physical infrastructure. For instance, in November 2023, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), a US-based government agency, small businesses make up 99.9% of all businesses in the United States; in 2023, there are 33.3 million small businesses that accounted for an increase of 4.9 million jobs. Thus, a rise in the number of small and medium-sized businesses is driving the growth of the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) market.

Major companies operating in the infrastructure as a service market are developing distributed cloud services to help run workloads, including generative AI. Distributed cloud computing can help businesses reduce costs by processing data at high speeds, sharing large amounts of information via the cloud, and minimizing the total cost of ownership. For instance, in February 2023, AkamAI Technologies Inc., a US-based content delivery network (CDN), cybersecurity, and cloud service provider launched AkamAI Connected Cloud, a massively distributed edge and cloud computing service. The company introduced three new enterprise-scale core cloud computing sites across the U.S. and Europe. These sites are designed to expand Akamai’s global cloud footprint and deliver lower-latency performance for enterprise workloads. Additionally, the launch strengthens the company’s ability to support modern applications with improved scalability, security, and distributed compute capabilities.
