Cloud Computing: Most Cloud Revenues are Generated by Just a Few Top Vendors
Cloud Computing is expected to grow at a rate of 36 percent annually from now until 2016. The current market size is about $5.7 billion and will reach $20 billion in 2016. Two-thirds of the revenue is being generated by large ‘titan’ vendors (more than $75 million in sales), but the majority of cloud vendors have revenues less than $5 million and account for only about 25 percent of total cloud revenues. 83 percent of cloud vendors generate less than $15 million. The figures are projections that appear in a report by the 451 Group.
Other findings from the 451 Group report include:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) accounts for 51 percent of cloud revenue and is growing at a rate of 37 percent annually
- Platform as a Service (PaaS) accounts for 24 percent of cloud revenue and is growing at a rate of 41 percent annually
- Software as a Service (SaaS) is a highly fragmented market but is growing at a rate of 29 percent annually
Yulitza Peraza, analyst for quantitative services at 451 Research, said that “cloud computing is on the upswing and demand for public cloud services remains strong. However, public cloud adoption continues to face hurdles including security concerns, transparency and trust issues, workload readiness and internal non-IT-related organizational issues.”
Laurent Lachal, senior analyst at Ovum, commented earlier in the year that “Cloud computing has barely reached the adolescence phase and it will take at least another five years for cloud computing to mature into adulthood.”
