The Cloud Computing Market - France

Cloud computing is a service that refers to the remote exploitation of the storage and/or computing power of computer servers. Cloud computing is characterized by its flexibility of use, enabling even the most skilled users to manage the server themselves, or to concentrate exclusively on developing and operating server-based applications. The main cloud computing services can be classified into three sub-segments: SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) The global cloud computing market is dynamic and set to continue growing over the next few years. Indeed, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.9% between 2022 and 2028. The European market is also evolving well, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25% until 2032. Finland, Sweden and Denmark are the countries in which companies use cloud computing services the most in Europe. France does not rank among the top European countries using cloud computing. However, the national market is doing well. In fact, in 2023, 24.3% of companies were using cloud computing services, compared with just 9.7% in 2014. The French market is highly concentrated, with the 3 American giants (AWS, Microsoft and Google) dominating. Cloud sovereignty is therefore becoming a major issue over the next few years.
