The shift from on-premises data centers to cloud environments is expected to drive the growth of the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) public cloud services market in the coming years. On-premises data centers are facilities owned and managed by organizations that house servers, storage, and networking infrastructure on-site. This shift is driven by increasing demand for scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient IT resources. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) public cloud services address this demand by providing on-demand computing, storage, and management resources, enabling organizations to scale capacity without significant upfront capital investment. For example, in December 2023, Eurostat, a European Union-based statistical office, reported that 45.2 percent of enterprises in the European Union used cloud computing services. Therefore, the shift from on-premises data centers to cloud environments is driving the growth of the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) public cloud services market.

Key companies operating in the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) public cloud services market are focusing on technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence-powered compute instances, to improve performance, energy efficiency, and scalability for enterprise workloads. Artificial intelligence-powered compute instances are cloud virtual machines optimized with advanced processor architectures and system-level automation to accelerate compute-intensive, memory-intensive, and machine learning workloads. For instance, in February 2023, Amazon Web Services (AWS), a US-based cloud infrastructure company, introduced Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M7g and R7g instances powered by AWS Graviton3 processors. The M7g instances are designed for general-purpose workloads, including application servers, microservices, and gaming servers, while the R7g instances target memory-intensive workloads, such as open-source databases, in-memory caches, and real-time big data analytics. These instances deliver up to 25 percent better performance over Graviton2-based instances, up to three times faster machine learning performance, including support for bfloat16, and up to 60 percent lower energy consumption for equivalent workloads.

In November 2023, Broadcom Inc., a US-based semiconductors and infrastructure software solutions provider, acquired VMware, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Broadcom Inc. aims to enable enterprise customers to create and modernize private and hybrid cloud environments while leveraging VMware, Inc.’s expertise in cloud software and edge solutions. VMware, Inc. is a US-based cloud computing and virtualization technology company that offers IaaS public cloud services.

North America was the largest region in the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) public cloud services market in 2024. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in this report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
