GARTNER:2013 India's public cloud services market will reach 443 million dollars

India's public cloud services market is expected to hit a 36% increase in 2013, with a total market share of $443 million trillion, well over 2012 years ' worth of $326 million. Based on Gartner's survey, Infrastructure Services (IAAS), including cloud computing, storage and print services, will continue to lead the cloud business classification growth list. The market share has grown 22.7% to $43.1 million in 2012 years and is expected to continue to grow by 39.6% per cent in 2013, to $60.2 million trillion.

Software as a Service (SaaS) will continue to occupy the dominant position in the Indian cloud services market, which accounted for 36% of the total market in 2012. Gartner expects India to invest $4.2 billion in cloud services in the five years of 2013-2017, with 1.6 billion for SaaS products.

"Continued growth in the cloud services market will drive cloud services toward production systems, workflows, and the development and testing of the environment and cloud services as the most prominent arena for public cloud services," said Ed Anderson, Gartner's research director. "Confidence in growth is due to the increasing demand for cloud services from end user agencies and the fact that cloud service providers are starting to put more cloud services in place to meet customer requirements," he said. ”

Although there are significant differences between the different specific categories in the cloud services market, analysts still offer strong market expectations for all types of cloud services offerings. The Cloud Business Processing Service (BPAAS) classification occupies the market share second only to SaaS, accounted for 23% of India's overall market share in 2012, followed by cloud infrastructure services (i.e. infrastructure services), 13% per cent, cloud advertising services, accounting for 12%, cloud management and security services, accounting for 11%; Finally, cloud application infrastructure services (i.e. platform services, or PAAs) account for 5%.

Considering the difference between the scale of cloud service market and the development of market in different regions of the world, the overall situation is also in dynamic change. In general, emerging markets in Asia-Pacific, South America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa show the most rapid growth, but their overall market size is still very limited. But China is an exception, a large and rapidly growing market. In addition, the markets of North America, Western Europe, Japan and some Asia-Pacific countries are mature and large, but their growth rates are relatively slow.

"IT service providers, especially those focused on delivering cloud services or related services, must consider hitting the big and more mature markets in order to dominate the global cloud services development bandwagon," Anderson advises. "Similarly, IT service providers need to firmly grasp the Asia-Pacific region, Greater China and South America and other emerging markets, and South America and China as a key factor in maintaining high business growth." ”
