U.S. Cloud Computing Market Trends

Serverless Computing to be Key Driver for Market Growth

Serverless computing is rapidly growing to define the future of cloud computing. Serverless computing allows developers to write and deploy code without having to manage servers or worry about the underlying infrastructure. It relieves developers of the heavy lifting of provisioning, maintaining, and scaling servers, which typically uses a substantial number of resources and time.

• In May 2022, DigitalOcean launched DigitalOcean Functions, a serverless computing service that lets developers run code without managing servers. This cost-effective solution addresses growing demand, with 25% of cloud buyers planning to adopt serverless in the next year. The service is available across multiple global regions. 

U.S. Cloud Computing Growth Factors

Digital Transformation Across Various Industries to Boost Market Growth

• According to Backlinko, more than half (58%) of companies in the U.S. and U.K. plan to boost their investments in digital transformation initiatives.

U.S. Cloud Computing Market Restraints

Environmental Concerns Due to Cloud Computing Limit Market Growth

Environmental issues are becoming a growing problem for the U.S. cloud computing industry. Data centers use massive amounts of electricity to run and cool the systems, often from non-renewable energy sources that generate carbon emissions. Data centers also consume a large volume of water, which can stress local ecosystems, especially in areas prone to drought. In what is an underserved capacity for linearly increasing demand for AI and data-heavy applications, the environmental footprint from uCloud operations is set to expand.

• According to the World Economic Forum, cloud computing and data centers are now among the largest sources of carbon emissions in the tech industry, accounting for about 1.8% of total electricity consumption in the U.S.

U.S. Cloud Computing Market Segmentation Analysis

By Type

Based on type, the market is divided into public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud.

The public cloud has the highest share due to its mature ecosystem and extensive range of services. Nevertheless, the hybrid cloud is also expanding significantly. The hybrid cloud market is expected to grow with the highest CAGR  driven primarily by organizations’ fundamental desire to retain sensitive on-premise data for compliance-related reasons while tapping into the flexibility of cloud services.

By Service

Based on service, the market is trifurcated into infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS).

The software as a service (SaaS) segment continues to hold the majority in U.S. cloud computing market share, partially driven by organizations wanting plug-and-play applications that simplify operations and improve collaboration.

In the meantime, IaaS is expected to  grow with the highest CAGR  as organizations seek more reliable and customizable computing resources to support multifaceted workloads and digital transformation efforts.

By Enterprise Type

Based on enterprise type, the market is segmented into large enterprises and SMEs.

Large enterprises hold the majority share in the market. In the U.S., the initial base of cloud computing mostly consisted of large corporations that were seeking to increase their infrastructure. Those large cloud-centered companies are starting to move toward more modern and advanced cloud technologies, fostering innovation and agility.

At the same time, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are expected to grow with the highest CAGR due to having flexible payment structures and user-friendly cloud services. Although big enterprises continue to dominate, the increased momentum of SMEs will likely boost a significant projected U.S. cloud computing market growth.

By Industry

Based on industry, the market is segmented into BFSI, IT and telecommunications, government, consumer goods and retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and others.

The IT and telecommunications sector holds the majority share and continues to boast the most advanced rates of cloud adoption by leveraging cloud platforms to manage vast data sets, modernize their networks, and create new services.

Meanwhile, the healthcare sector is expected to grow with the highest CAGR, largely in response to the unique data resiliency needs of secure patient data management, telehealth solutions, and regulatory compliance. While the healthcare sector was once relatively slow to enter the cloud space, as cloud providers develop more point-specific solutions, other historically slower adoption sectors are joining the hosting space, allowing broader market expansion.
