Global public cloud spending surpasses $500 billion.
Published2022.04.21 10:23
The fastest-growing IaaS segment is expected to grow 30% year-over-year.
The domestic market is expected to grow 22.9% year-on-year to $4.79 billion.
With the advancement of 5G wireless communication technology and the establishment of distributed environments such as hybrid and multi-cloud, cloud adoption has become more widespread and profound. Consequently, public cloud services are expanding globally, and the market size is steadily growing.
According to market research firm Gartner's 2022 Worldwide End-User Spending on Public Cloud Services Forecast, global spending on public cloud services is projected to reach $494.7 billion this year, a 20.4% increase from $410.9 billion in 2021.
Additionally, end-user spending is expected to reach $600 billion by 2023. In Korea, end-user spending in the public cloud service market is expected to grow 22.9% compared to 2022, reaching $4.79 billion.
“Cloud is the driving force behind today’s digital organizations,” said Sid Nag, research vice president at Gartner. “CIOs are moving beyond the irrational proliferation of cloud service procurement to carefully select public cloud providers to drive specific business and technology outcomes as they navigate their digital transformation journey.”

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is expected to see the highest end-user spending growth in 2022, at 30.6%. Desktop as a Service (DaaS) is expected to follow with a growth rate of 26.6%, followed by Platform as a Service (PaaS) with a growth rate of 26.1%.
The reality of hybrid work is forcing organizations to shift away from staffing their workforce with traditional client computing solutions, such as desktops and other physical on-premise tools, and toward DaaS, the report noted.
The 2022 forecast for DaaS is expected to reach $2.6 billion. Meanwhile, PaaS spending is forecast to reach $109.6 billion, driven by end-user demand for cloud-native platform capabilities.
“Cloud-native capabilities like containerization, database platform as a service (dbPaaS), and artificial intelligence and machine learning are richer in functionality than general-purpose computing like IaaS or network as a service,” said Nag. “As a result, they are generally more expensive, which has driven up spending.”
SaaS is expected to be the largest public cloud services market with end-user spending expected to reach $176.6 billion in 2022, making it a segment with significant growth potential.
Emerging cloud computing technologies, such as hyperscale edge computing and Secure Access Services Edge (SASE), are disrupting related markets and creating new product categories, creating additional revenue streams for public cloud providers.
“Public cloud services are a critical necessity, and providers must now address social and political issues such as sustainability and data sovereignty,” said Vice President Nag. “IT leaders who view the cloud as an enabler, not an end-state, will be most successful in their digital transformation journey,” he said, predicting that companies that combine the cloud with other technologies will see success.
