IaaS (infrastructure as a service) is set to grow to
roughly $4 billion by 2015, according to In-Stat.
Growth is expected in all public cloud service segments,” said Greg Potter,
analyst at In-Stat.
Many SaaS (software-as-a-service) applications have been
around for a long time, but only now since the advent of entire platforms for
applications, such as Google Apps and Force.com, are these applications gaining
the necessary visibility among businesses to gain traction in the software
market. Infrastructure-as-a-service is also gaining traction, especially
in the small business market,” Potter added.
According to the report, SaaS (software as a service) is poised to grow 142
percent between 2010 and 2015. Overall public cloud computing (IaaS, SaaS, and
PaaS) is set to grow 153 percent from 2010 to 2015.
Small business (5 to 99 employees) is the fastest growing
size segment growing from $2.5 billion by 2010 to $6.6 billion by 2015.
Small business will account for over half of the market
in SaaS and IaaS.
The top 5 vertical markets for IaaS
in terms of 2011 market revenue will be hospitality and food, healthcare and
social services, and retail trade. The bottom 5 verticals will be mining,
forestry, fishing, and agricultural services and utilities.
