Feb 3, 2021
Cloud infrastructure services spending increased 32% to $39,9-billion in the last quarter of 2020, following heightened customer investment with the major cloud service providers and the technology channel.
Total expenditure was over $3-billion higher than the last quarter and nearly $10-billion more than Q4 2019 according to Canalys data.
This is again the largest quarterly expansion in dollar terms, as continuing pandemic restrictions drove intense demand for cloud to support remote working and learning, ecommerce, content streaming, online gaming and collaboration.
At the same time, a gradual recovery in economic confidence stimulated cloud investments by organisations in all industry segments to drive digital transformation.
As spend on global cloud infrastructure services surges, seeing a 32 percent increase in the final quarter of 2020, Canalys has highlighted the IT channel as having a major role in supporting this growth.
Global expenditure was US$39.9 billion in the last quarter of 2020, US$3 billion higher than the third quarter and nearly US$10 billion more than Q4 2019, according to data from Canalys.
Microsoft Azure’s growth rate accelerated once again, up by 50 percent to reach 20 percent of the market share, maintaining its second-place.
This was thanks to the high demand for Teams, Windows Virtual Desktop and other Microsoft services that lockdowns brought, as well as targeted incentives for channel partners.
