The rising adoption of cloud computing is expected to drive the expansion of the software infrastructure market going forward. Cloud computing refers to the provision of computing services such as storage, processing, and software over the internet, enabling flexible and on-demand access to resources. The adoption of cloud computing is increasing due to the growing demand for scalable and cost-effective IT solutions, as organizations seek flexible systems that can adapt to changing workloads while avoiding high initial infrastructure costs. Cloud computing strengthens software infrastructure by offering scalable, on-demand computing resources and centralized platforms that enable efficient deployment, integration, and management of applications across distributed environments while minimizing reliance on physical hardware and enhancing system flexibility and performance. For instance, according to the Legal Technology Resource Center of the American Bar Association, a US-based voluntary association of lawyers, approximately 75% of attorneys reported using cloud computing for work-related tasks, compared to 69% in 2023 and around 70% in 2022. Therefore, the rising adoption of cloud computing is driving the expansion of the software infrastructure market.

Leading companies operating in the software infrastructure market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as artificial intelligence (AI)-powered automation services, to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enable real-time infrastructure management. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered automation services are solutions that leverage machine learning, data analytics, and intelligent algorithms to automate and optimize IT infrastructure processes, helping organizations enhance efficiency, reduce manual intervention, minimize errors, and enable faster, data-driven decision-making. In June 2025, NTT DATA, a Japan-based IT services and consulting company, introduced AI-powered software defined infrastructure services for Cisco products. This solution integrates AI-driven automation to improve infrastructure reliability, optimize resource utilization, and reduce operational costs through predictive analytics and intelligent insights. It includes features such as AI-driven license management, real-time monitoring, and outcome-based service models that align IT performance with business objectives. The platform also offers seamless digital access through user-friendly interfaces and mobile applications, enabling enterprises to monitor infrastructure performance, risks, and service requests in real time.
