Integrated Cloud Management Platform Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Component (Services, Solutions), Organization Size (Small and Mid-size Enterprises (SME), Large Enterprises), End User, and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Integrated Cloud Management Platform Market is accounted for $2.51 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $6.88 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 15.5% during the forecast period. An integrated cloud management platform (ICMP) unites all third-party cloud management tools, including provisioning, orchestration, DevOps, service management, spend management, security, automation etc., in a seamless manner. It can use AI and machine learning to suggest “next best actions” for resolving application issues, guard against overspending and help ensure compliance, among other benefits. An ICMP helps organizations optimize their cloud environments. It’s also vendor agnostic to accommodate every cloud-related tool and service needed to implement Agile cloud operations using practices such as DevOps and DevSecOps.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Evolution of hybrid cloud infrastructure

The evolution of a hybrid cloud infrastructure will provide exceptional benefits to the market. The adoption rate of the hybrid cloud platform will be immense during the forecast period. The low initial cost is one of the crucial aspects that increase the hybrid cloud adoption rate. Small and mid-size enterprises are anticipated to have demand for the hybrid cloud infrastructure. The efficiency, scalability, flexibility, and high-end features will attract a wider customer base. In addition, the set-up and maintenance costs are much lower for hybrid cloud management. Large enterprises, IT companies, healthcare, and retail are the key end-users expected to adopt the hybrid cloud platforms. With high growth opportunities, the profitability of the market will be massive in the forecast period.

Restraint:

Design complexities

Complexity in designing the cloud platforms is hindering the growth of the integrated cloud management platform market. The distributed denial of service attacks and high-security issues are the major challenges for cloud management platforms. The lack of visibility pushes public security cloud and can lead to unauthorized access to data, improper handling, and duplication of data leading to the deletion of confidential data from infrastructure. Moreover, the designing of networks from on-premises to the cloud needs high investment, which is one of the major challenges mainly for small and medium-sized enterprises that have small budgets.

Opportunity:

Simplified management of complex cloud environment

Multi-cloud management software allows reliable provisioning, configuration, monitoring, analytics, and cost management across a diverse set of cloud resources. When business requirements exceed the capacity of private cloud, services are procured from public cloud service providers. This creates complications in the integration of private and public clouds, leading to the emergence of hybrid cloud infrastructure. In addition, enterprises with large-scale cloud implementations require a more robust cloud management that can manage multiple platforms from some central reference and intelligent analytics to automate processes, such as application lifecycle management. Cloud management tools and solutions help organizations manage all types of cloud activities, including resource deployment, use tracking, data integration, and disaster recovery.

Threat:

Rising threat of security breaches

Maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of enterprise data is one of the challenges faced by enterprises; therefore, companies are reluctant to move their data to cloud and prefer on-premises infrastructure to store sensitive data. Although there have been various developments and advancements related to cloud technologies, achieving high levels of security and interoperability have been major hurdles. These hurdles are affecting the growth of cloud solutions. The amount of data that is hosted over the cloud infrastructure has grown exponentially. This has increased the risk of data being accessed by an unauthorized external entity. Thus, the growth of the market may be challenged by the rising threat of security breaches.

The retail and consumer goods segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The retail and consumer goods segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. The rise of selling on social media platforms also means integrating payment into the user experience, bringing security and protection of customers’ data to the forefront of retailers’ minds. The hybrid cloud provides the portability and control needed to bring retailers into the new era of customer experience. The multi-cloud platforms provide retailers with flexibility and allow them to do storage and computing at a lower cost. For instance, the UK’s retailing giant, Sainsbury’s and Argos. The merger of the two companies was facilitated by the adoption of a multi-cloud platform because combining the operational requirements of both businesses would have been impossible on-premises. Retailers use data to connect the e-commerce and in-store shopping experiences, and the only way they can do this accurately and efficiently is through flexible, scalable technology.

The small and mid-size enterprises (SME) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The small and mid-size enterprises (SME) segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. The growing implementation of cloud storage is anticipated to result in desired outcomes, increased revenues, and improved business efficiency for small and mid-size enterprises. Moreover, the cost-effectiveness is an important factor for small and mid-size enterprises, as they always have a tight budget, leaving them with limited ways to market themselves and gain visibility. SMEs face intense competition from large enterprises; thus, to gain a competitive edge, they are adopting integrated cloud management platforms, which would enable quick responses, timely decisions, and overall enhanced business productivity. The small and mid-size enterprises adopt the pay-as-you-go model, which offers flexibility to manage their IT infrastructure according to their requirements.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the government support for the digital economy, rising levels of urbanization, and technological innovations. The region is gaining huge traction among global businesses. It consists of countries with a complex ecosystem of start-ups, governments, SMEs, and large multinational companies using and developing an array of valuable ICT solutions. Huge advancements in IoT, cloud computing, and telecommunications have led to several organizations adopting cloud-based strategies. The region is expected to experience huge growth during the forecast period. With the growing adoption of cloud technologies and the rising amount of business processes, there has been a significant rise in the adoption of integrated cloud management platform solutions in the Asia Pacific region.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the increasing instances of digitalization among enterprises and the growing use of cost-effective cloud-based recruitment solutions. In addition, the market in North American is anticipated to grow at a high rate as the adoption of advanced hiring solutions in this region was slow in the past, but now traction is observed across the region due to an increase in the digitalization of the enterprises.
