Growth will be fueled by rising demand for AI-powered software, fully managed compute and storage systems, and SaaS, especially collaboration, content services, and core business applications delivered via consumption-based models.”
The top two vendors continued to hold more than 40% of the market in 2024. SaaS continued to be the largest category in the overall public cloud services market, followed by IaaS and PaaS.
