Public cloud services market size 2017-2025

The worldwide public cloud computing market continues to grow and is expected to reach an estimated

billion U.S. dollars in 2025. This encompasses business processes, platform, infrastructure, software, management, security, and advertising services delivered by public cloud services. A public cloud is a cloud deployment model that offers computing services over the internet. The physical hardware of this cloud model is shared by multiple companies. The services offered to customers include storage, bandwidth, or CPU cycles.

Public clouds are cost-effective

Among the many benefits of a public cloud is that services are offered to the customer through a pay-as-you-go model. This means that no upfront investments must be made, which otherwise lead to running costs for maintaining on-premise hardware and application infrastructure. Instead, the cloud service provider ensures proper management and maintenance of the system and the customer only pays for services consumed.

AWS, Azure, and Google are dominating the market

Key companies offering public cloud platforms to customers are Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Their preeminence on the market is demonstrated by organizations’ plans to continually migrate their data to the cloud and use cloud applications for their business operations on a global scale.
