This IDC Market Forecast provides the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APEJ) sovereign cloud market forecast for 2023 to 2027 based on the Worldwide Sovereign Cloud Market Forecast, 2022–2027 (IDC #US49695922, November 2023). It uses 2022 as the baseline year. Sovereign cloud spending is forecast to rise over the next few years, but customers face key challenges to successfully implement solutions. APEJ is witnessing a significant increase in investment toward sovereign cloud solutions, which is driven by the need for digital sovereignty, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance."Sovereign clouds are increasingly becoming a key component of organizations' hybrid cloud environment, and growing concerns about digital sovereignty with data privacy, security, and regulatory compliance are coming ever more so to the forefront, driving organizations to seek out cloud capabilities and solutions to address digital sovereignty requirements," says Daphne Chung, Research Director, Cloud Services and Software, IDC Asia/Pacific. "Organizations need to review and update their digital sovereignty strategies to embrace sovereign cloud and carve out their journey from regulatory compliance to innovation and operational resilience," she adds.
