Global Distributed Cloud Market 2023-2030



Global Distributed Cloud Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Application (Edge Computing, Content Delivery, and Internet of Things), by Service (Data Security, Data Storage, and Networking), and by End-Use (BFSI, Healthcare, It & Telecom, Government & Defense, and Others), Forecast Period (2023-2030)

The global distributed cloud market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 22.8% during the forecast period (2023-2030). A distributed cloud is a computing architecture that distributes cloud resources and services across multiple physical locations, while providing a unified management and control plane. This approach aims to address the limitations of traditional centralized cloud models, which often face challenges with data latency, regulatory compliance, and scalability.

In September 2023, Akamai Technologies announced seven upcoming new core compute regions across Europe, Asia, North America, and Latin America. The locations in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Jakarta, Indonesia, Los Angeles, California, Miami, Florida, Milan, Italy, Osaka, Japan, and São Paulo, Brazil, are the third installment of Akamai's rollout of new core compute regions since its acquisition of Linode last year, and represent a key step in Akamai's push to redefine how the cloud operates.

Segmental Outlook

Global distributed cloud market is segmented on the application, service, and end-user. Based on the application, the market is sub-segmented into edge computing, content delivery and internet of things. based on service, the market is sub-segmented into data security, data storage and networking. And based on the end-user, the market is sub-segmented into BFSI, healthcare, It & telecom, government & defense and others. Among the end-user, the BFSI sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market, owing to increasing pressure to comply with stringent laws and regulations related to customer data security and privacy in financial services and banking organizations. Distributed cloud can enhance security by isolating data and applications in specific locations and by providing multiple layers of security controls. Also, it allows organizations to store and process data within specific geographic regions or jurisdictions, complying with local regulations and data residency mandates.

The Data Storage Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Distributed Cloud Market

Among the service, the data storage sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global distributed cloud market. It helps in distribution of resources such as compute, storage, and networking are distributed across multiple locations, closer to the data sources and users. It improves data access and transfer, and it can also guarantee a larger bandwidth, effective disaster recovery, and data protection strategies at low costs. This segmental growth is attributed to several factor such as data resiliency, high availability, and security. Hence, the market players are focusing on increasing the size of data warehouse and expansion in new regions. For instance, In October 2022, Oracle Corporation launched several new distributed cloud offerings to meet the increasing demand for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and customers’ diverse needs. Oracle Corp plans to open new cloud regions in Serbia, Chicago, and Mexico. The OCI distributed cloud allows customers to use cloud services from anywhere with public, multi-cloud, hybrid, and dedicated options.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the distributed cloud market include Alibaba Group, Amazon Web Services, Inc., CloudSigma AG, DigitalOcean, Inc., F5, Inc., IBM Corp, Oracle Corp., Pivotal Inc, Rackspace Technology, Salesforce, Inc., Teradata Corp, VMware, Inc., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in September 2023, Ericsson announced an expansion of its partnership with Google Cloud focused on the development of an Ericsson Cloud RAN solution integrated with Google Distributed Cloud. This offers advanced automation, orchestration, and leverages AI/ML for Communication Service Providers. Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) is a suite of managed hardware and software solutions that extends Google Cloud's capabilities to the edge and data centers. Together, the Ericsson and Google Cloud teams have demonstrated successful implementation of Ericsson's vDU and vCU on GDC Edge. It is currently operational at Ericsson's Open Lab in Ottawa, Canada, with plans for further market development. This latest collaboration enables the creation of a highly automated and extensive distributed cloud infrastructure for radio access networks. Benefits include efficiency, reliability, high performance, and security software-centric RAN.
