According to a study carried out by Gartner, an American consulting firm specializing in new technologies, the cloud computing market continues to expand. Within 3 years, the cloud budget of companies should reach 1,800 billion dollars against 1,300 billion in 2022.
Towards increased spending for cloud deployment
Companies wishing to accelerate their digital transformation tend to move towards cloud computing. The firm has analyzed the IT departments of organizations that can migrate to the cloud, application software and infrastructure, business process management services and system infrastructure: by 2025, 51% of the budget of these companies will be devoted to cloud computing solutions rather than traditional computing. At the moment this figure is 41%.

There is also an increase in spending on the sector. If 58% of companies are turning to the cloud for their application software in 2022, this figure would exceed 66%, or two out of three companies, in 2025.
According to Michael Warrilow, research vice president at Gartner, COVID-19 has impacted this acceleration, “ The move to the cloud has only accelerated in the past two years due to COVID-19, as organizations have responded to new business and social dynamics “.

The classic computer market should continue to be disrupted
From this year, the so-called traditional offers should be lower than those of the cloud according to the details. Gartner states that ” the demand for integration capabilities, agile work processes and compostable architecture will drive a continued shift to the cloud “. The traditional IT market should therefore be disrupted by cloud computing and see its market share fall to the detriment of this technology.
Michael Warrilow adds that ” Distributed cloud adoption by enterprises has the potential to further accelerate the transition to the cloud, as it brings public cloud services into areas that were primarily non-cloud, thereby expanding the addressable market “.
In France, the competition authority will precisely look at the current competitive situation of the cloud market in order to assess it. The public authorities are in favor of the development of cloud computing and have not hesitated to intervene in the national support plan for the French cloud sector where 1.8 billion euros will be invested over the next 4 years.
Gartner recommends that cloud technology and service providers “ target segments where change is occurring most aggressively, in addition to seeking new high-growth cloud opportunities “.
