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.
