Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Market Analysis by Component Type

Accounting for an estimated share of 40.9% in 2024, the worldwide market for IaaS by component type is the largest for Compute, one factor for which is the central role it plays in cloud infrastructure. Compute resources, such as virtual machines (VMs), containers, and serverless computing constitute the mainstay of IaaS, powering applications, workloads and processing tasks across industries that renders it the most critical and widely used component. Organizations are highly dependent on compute resources for data-intensive applications, including AI/ML, big data analytics and high-performance computing (HPC), which drives considerable investment in scalable computing infrastructure. Storage, however, is likely to emerge as the fastest growing component type, with a forecast CAGR of 28% over 2024-2030. Growth in demand for scalable, cost-effective cloud storage solutions for managing vast datasets is being spurred by the increase in data generation from IoT devices, big data analytics and digital transformation initiatives, driving demand for storage. The need for disaster recovery (e.g., Disaster Recovery as a Service, DRaaS) and backup solutions to maintain business continuity is also instrumental in driving demand for cloud storage to ensure data redundancy and quick recovery.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Market Analysis by Deployment Type

Hybrid Cloud leads the global demand for IaaS in terms of deployment type with a share estimated at 48.6% in 2024. The ability of hybrid cloud to combine on-premises infrastructure, i.e., private cloud, with public cloud services, enables organizations to allocate workloads based on specific needs. While sensitive or critical workloads, such as financial data or intellectual property, remain on private clouds for control and compliance, other less-sensitive workloads, like web apps or testing environments, leverage the scalability of public clouds. On the other hand, the worldwide market for Public Cloud deployment in IaaS will likely record the fastest 2024-2030 CAGR of 26.8% owing to a range of factors. The virtually unlimited scalability offered by public cloud allows for the instant upscaling or downscaling of businesses to address spikes in demand. Elasticity as evident here is a boon for startups, SMEs and enterprises with variable workloads, with the pay-as-you-go model ensuring that organizations pay only for resources availed of.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Market Analysis by Company Type

Estimated to corner a share of 59.8% in 2024, worldwide demand for IaaS by company type is led by Large Enterprises because of having financial resources to invest in comprehensive IaaS solutions, including private and hybrid cloud deployments. Leading providers, such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud can provide large businesses with tailored solutions for addressing specific requirements, with their budgets allowing supporting large-scale migrations and long-term cloud strategies. Finance, healthcare and government are sectors dominated by large enterprises, which face strict regulatory requirements. However, the global market for IaaS as being adopted by Small & Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) is slated to clock the faster 2024-2030 CAGR of 25.8%, with cost efficiency and no upfront investment being a crucial factor. As is common with SMEs, the lack of capital for on-premises infrastructure can be overcome by IaaS's pay-as-you-go model, allowing them access to enterprise-grade infrastructure without significant investment. This cost efficiency is helping SMEs to grow in terms of lean operations and scalability.
