Virtual machine accounts for more than 85% of the global IaaS market
Recently, the China Academy of Information and Communication Research released the White Paper on Cloud Computing (2016) (hereinafter referred to as the "White Paper"), which shows that SaaS is still the largest component of the global cloud computing market, and its market size exceeds the sum of IaaS and PaaS.
IaaS: VM accounts for more than 85% of the market share
The white paper pointed out that the global IaaS market has maintained steady growth, and cloud host is still the main product. In 2015, the IaaS market grew by 32% (in 2014, the IaaS market grew by 33%), and the market size reached $16.2 billion, of which the virtual machine accounted for more than 85% of the market share. It is expected that the growth will continue in the next few years, but the growth will slightly decline.
PaaS: Overall growth of global PaaS market slows down
In terms of PaaS market, the overall growth of the global PaaS market slowed down, but database services and business intelligence platform services grew rapidly. In 2015, the PaaS market was $4.4 billion, up 17%, of which application infrastructure and middleware services accounted for 54% of the market share; The size of the database service market is only 170 million dollars, but it is growing rapidly, with a growth rate of 30%. It is expected that in the next few years, it will still grow at a high speed of more than 30%, far exceeding other PaaS products such as application development (growth rate of 11.9%), application infrastructure and middleware (growth rate of 16.5%).
SaaS: The product presents a diversified development trend
SaaS is still the largest component of the global public cloud market, with CRM, ERP, online conferencing and social software occupying the main market. In 2015, the size of the SaaS market was $31.7 billion, far exceeding the total size of the IaaS and PaaS markets. CRM, ERP, online conferencing and social software accounted for 65% of the market share; At the same time, the product shows a diversified development trend. The scale of digital content production, enterprise content management, business intelligence applications and other products is small and growing fast. In particular, the growth rate of enterprise content management is 40%, and the growth rate of digital content production is 25%. However, it is expected that the compound growth rate of more than 30% will grow rapidly in the next five years.
