SaaS drives India public cloud services revenue to $6.2B in 2022: IDC

Thursday June 01, 2023 , 4 min Read

Public cloud services market revenue touch $6.2 billion

The revenue generated in the India public cloud services (PCS) market, including infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solutions, and software-as-a-service (SaaS), totalled $6.2 billion for 2022, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Semi-annual Public Cloud Services Tracker, 2H 2022 (July-December).

The overall Indian PCS market is expected to reach $17.8 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 23.4% for 2022-27.

Despite global macroeconomic headwinds intensifying in the second half of 2022, the Indian PCS market witnessed robust growth, driven by the accelerating digital transformation among Indian enterprises, and cloud service providers continuing to witness increased demand from SMBs and startups, as per the report.

SaaS continued to be the largest component of the overall public cloud services market, followed by IaaS and PaaS in 2022, with the top two cloud service providers holding more than 40% of the Indian PCS market.

"Post the COVID-19 period, the pace of digital transformation has been steady in India as organisations are driving innovation, introducing digital products and services, and automating processes," said Rajiv Ranjan, Associate Research Director, Cloud and Artificial Intelligence, IDC India.

"Improving the customer experience has been the top priority for enterprises in India. Migrating from legacy infrastructure to cloud has been the most preferred way to modernise IT infrastructure which is driving public cloud services growth,” he added.
