Sid Nag, Vice President, said, “The continued growth we expect to see in public cloud spending can be largely attributed to GenAI due to the continued creation of general-purpose foundation models and the ramp up to delivering GenAI-enabled applications at scale.” “Because of this continued growth, we expect public cloud end-user spending to eclipse the one trillion-dollar mark before the end of this decade. "Added Sid Nag. All the cloud market segments are expected to grow in 2024. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) is forecast to experience the highest end-user spending growth at 25.6%, followed by platform-as-a-service (Paas) at 20.6% Worldwide Public Cloud Services End-User Spending Forecast (Millions of U.S. Dollars)

Table Source: Gartner Also further, Nag added that IaaS continues to have a robust growth rate reflective of the underway GenAI revolutions.” The need for infrastructure to undertake AI model training inferencing and fine-tuning has only been growing. It will continue to grow exponentially and directly impact IaaS consumption.” Meanwhile, cloud infrastructure and platform services are maximizing the highest spending growth; SaaS remains the largest segment of the cloud market in terms of end-user spending. SaaS spending is predicted to grow 20% to $247.2 billion in 2024. “The surge in SaaS spending is primarily propelled by the modernization of applications by independent software vendors, adopting a SaaS-based consumption model,” Nag explained. “Organizations are increasingly leveraging cloud services for specific use cases such as AI, machine learning, Internet of Things, and big data, a trend that is fueling the growth of SaaS.” Stay up to date on the newest Cloud Computing news!
