Dynamics

Growing Government Support

Governments in various nations provide financial and non-financial aid to small business owners in order to assist them in growing their businesses. The efforts encouraged more entrepreneurs to establish their businesses in the country. For example, U.S. federal government provides many funding programmes to owners of small businesses, such as the Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract and US$A Rural Business Enterprise Grant.

Furthermore, to continue the enterprises in a highly competitive climate, the entrepreneurs demand an omnichannel sales approach. The omnichannel sales model allows them to expand their consumer base globally by delivering their whole product assortment via the internet. As a result, the expansion of such small businesses is likely to drive market expansion in the coming years.

An Increase in Number of SMEs

SMEs demand having a strong online presence in order to reach a larger audience. It uses web hosting services to develop and manage professional websites, e-commerce platforms and online applications. Businesses have an internet presence regardless of the industry vertical in which they operate. According to recent Google studies, 97% of customers globally use the web to seek for local companies and the services that they provide.

On the other hand, the global number of SMEs is rapidly expanding. As per the 2020 March Hampshire Trust Bank analysis, the number of SMEs in UK has risen by 17% since 2010, while the British manufacturing sector has had a 6% increase in SMEs since 2010. Due to this, there is a greater demand for startups and SMEs to use web hosting services to reach their target audience and make their business viable.

Lack of Technical Expertise and Data Security

The earliest stage of website adoption was the integration of the company's data on a server and the collection of client data. Price details, invoices and many other confidential facts are posted to the server for simple access. However, controlling and providing security is extremely complex. Modern network security is primarily about tackling every IT security standard.

The market's smooth growth would be hampered by a lack of expert knowledge and technical expertise, as well as a lack of awareness, particularly in developing economies. Furthermore, developing countries' lack of technologically proficient infrastructure hampers the global web hosting services market's growth.

Segment Analysis

High Security Level of Hybrid Deployment

Hybrid is expected to be the fastest growing segment with less than 1/4th of the market during the forecast period 2023-2030. The segment’s growth is due to the advantages it has over public and private clouds. As compared to the public cloud, it offers higher security and uptime. The cost of using a hybrid cloud is less than that of a private cloud.

It involves integrating on-premise private and third-party public clouds into a unified, flexible infrastructure. The infrastructure enables the company to choose the best cloud platform for each workload and application. It enables workload shift between public and private cloud services.

Asia-Pacific is expected to gain a considerable share during the projection period as a result of the region's increasing movement of businesses to online platforms in the COVID pandemic and SMEs bearing massive losses due to lockdown in the region.

China pledged a special investment of roughly US$ 150 million for SMEs in the region in 2021.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The pandemic intensified the transition to digitalization, encouraging businesses to improve their online presence. The COVID-19 epidemic has had little impact on the expansion of the web hosting services business, as usage of web hosting services has surged in the face of unprecedented circumstances. Because most business owners have begun to offer their products and services online, the pandemic has considerably increased demand for web hosting services.

Furthermore, some market participants provided free hosting services for a few months to assist enterprises during COVID-19 and to lift them during the epidemic.

AI Impact

Daily jobs are being handled by automated systems, increasing efficiency and reducing the need for manual intervention. AI is being utilized to improve security measures in web hosting providers. Machine learning algorithms can detect and mitigate possible threats like DDoS assaults, malware and other cybersecurity issues by analyzing the trends.

Chatbots enabled by AI deliver immediate and efficient customer care. It can answer basic questions, fix problems and help customers, enhancing overall customer happiness and lowering the pressure on human support workers. AI helps to optimize data center operations. It involves predictive maintenance, energy efficiency and overall infrastructure management to assure dependability and cost-effectiveness.

Russia- Ukraine War Impact

Geopolitical concerns influenced enterprises and organizations’ preferences for data center site. Concerns regarding stability and security may cause some regions to reconsider hosting services. Hosting providers based in conflict-affected areas encountered problems such as infrastructure damage, service disruptions or changes in regulatory settings, limiting their capacity to serve clients.

Companies, particularly those in directly affected regions, may consider relocating their data and services to more stable locations to maintain business continuity and avoid potential war risks. Physical destruction of internet infrastructure, like undersea cables or network nodes, might disrupt connectivity and harm web hosting service performance globally.
