The global cloud-based apps market is expected to expand rapidly as a result of rising demand for data mobility, cost savings in IT infrastructure for enterprises, and access to multiple devices from anywhere. The solutions provide advantages such as universal access, scalability, lower technology infrastructure costs, and economies of scale.
A cloud application, also known as a cloud app, is a type of software that combines cloud-based and local components. Companies use these applications without having to download, update, or manage any kind of server, and they are paid for. This model relies on remote access tools servers for processing logic, which are accessed via a web browser with a constant internet connection. These cloud apps are software and tools that are made available to customers through the Software-as-a-Service model (SaaS).
The global Cloud Applications market size was predicted to reach over USD 165 billion in 2020 and projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.5% over the forecast period. The main driver of this industry is the growing adoption of the application in small and medium-sized businesses, as well as big data management. Small and medium enterprise markets are underserved and provide industry participants with growth opportunities due to low-cost infrastructure requirements and other technological advantages. Data mobility and ease of access have increased, and this is expected to drive demand for cloud-based apps over the forecast period. It provides advantages such as data integration and easy data access from a single point. Because big data is stored on a server, it is simple to manage.
The cloud application market has experienced phenomenal growth in recent years; however, the market has experienced significant growth as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is primarily due to the increasing use of cloud applications, as more than 90% of companies worldwide have implemented work-from-home policies to keep their operations running smoothly. Several cloud service providers, including Microsoft, Google, and UKCloud, have recently issued statements explaining their efforts to meet the sudden surge in demand for Cloud applications caused by the companies' work-from-home policies.
