Evolving Trends in Italian Cloud Computing Market

The Italian cloud computing market has shown impressive resilience and growth amidst the challenges posed by global economic and geopolitical events. In the year 2023, we have seen the market experience a healthy expansion rate of approximately 20 percent, with a valuation reaching between 5 and 6 billion euros. This growth trajectory is a testament to the robustness of the cloud transformation strategies undertaken by domestic companies, a movement that has taken a firmer position, given the context of "the cloud." One of the most significant growth dynamics within the cloud spending spectrum is the Public & Hybrid Cloud segment, which has seen an increase of 24 percent compared to the previous year, touching a spending mark of between 3.5 and 4 billion euros. This segment's notable upsurge is in large part due to infrastructure services (IaaS), which itself expanded by 29 percent to reach between 1.5 and 2 billion euros, showcasing its increasing importance equal to Software services (SaaS) – the traditionally dominant service type in the cloud market. As for end-use sectors, the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector continues to maintain the largest share, having accounted for over 20 percent of the market in the preceding year. The banking sector's move to online services has augmented reliance on cloud services to store and manage customer data efficiently.

The cloud market's growth is driven by key factors such as the shift in work culture towards remote and hybrid models, sustainability goals, the use of artificial intelligence, and the rise of sovereign and industry-specific clouds. Further influencing demand is the multi-cloud strategy adoption that offers organizations greater flexibility and redundancy. FinOps has emerged as a new trend reflecting the industry's emphasis on optimizing cloud expenditure to strike a balance between cost, speed, and quality. This approach encourages cross-departmental collaboration, with a firm emphasis on making cloud-related financial decisions that align closely with business interests. From the geographical perspective, Google Search Queries indicate a homogenous interest in cloud computing across most Italian regions, with both Molise and Abruzzo showing particularly strong engagement. These regions appear to be driven by concerted regional efforts toward public service modernization and innovation, with local initiatives supporting cloud computing adoption. The cloud computing industry's landscape is vigorously shaped by the presence of leading global providers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, which have captured substantial market shares. Italian companies, including Aruba S.p.A, CDLAN S.p.A, Netsons S.r.

Summary and extracts

1 Market Overview

1.1 Definition and presentation

To better understand the definition of "Cloud Computing," let's break down the term into:

-Cloud i.e., a technology that enables the use through remote servers of software and hardware reserves (such as, for example, data storage systems) whose service is given as a form of subscription

-Cloud Computing i.e., a business model in which a product is not purchased but the fact that it can be used remotely without physically disposing of it

There are several services that can be delivered in the Cloud but generally we refer to SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service).

As for the global market, according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, the global Cloud Computing market is expected to reach $1,554 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 14.06 percent from 2023 to 2030. Several factors are driving this growth: digital transformation in many sectors, the growing adoption of 5G, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the consumption of big data.

Compared to the Italian market, its value in 2021 increased by 16 percent from the previous year. The service that grew the most was PaaS (+31%), followed by Iaas (+23%) and finally SaaS (+13%). This remarkable growth is due to the fact that, thanks in part to the pandemic, in large Italian companies 44% of the application fleet is on the Cloud.

As for future trends within the industry, more and more companies are adapting their business models to this technology that makes many business practices cheaper and more efficient. In addition, many small and medium-sized Italian companies are focusing their attention on organizational change with the intention of incorporating Cloud Computing into their business logic.
