Executive Summary

The global cloud computing market is expected to grow from $738.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $1.6 trillion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.2% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.

Cloud computing, which serves as a gateway to a wide range of transformative technologies, facilitates the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), blockchain technology, and quantum computing. Eliminating the requirement for direct infrastructure investments promotes flexible experimentation and enables businesses to research innovative technologies quickly and assess any potential benefits. Among the cloud providers that offer AI technologies for natural language processing, analytics, and automation are Amazon Web Services Inc. (AWS), Google Cloud, and Azure.

Each of the cloud system levels, from the server level to the customer service level, will include pervasive AI. AI algorithms will aid in predictive analysis, preventing potential infrastructure issues, managing workload, and reducing the automation of repetitive jobs. This will result in more effectively run operations and reduce the need for human intervention in cloud environment management. AI and machine learning (ML) also lead to better data management and analytics. Businesses of all sizes can now more easily use AI/ML thanks to cloud-based services. Businesses can gain insights from massive volumes of data stored in cloud settings by integrating these technologies
