No Change At The Top As AWS Remains The Leading Public Cloud Provider In All Regions
Microsoft is ranked second in three of the four regions, and Google is ranked third in three of them.
New Q3 data from Synergy Research Group shows that in the public cloud services market, worldwide leader AWS remains the clear leader in all four of the world’s major regions, ranked by public IaaS and PaaS service revenues. Microsoft is ranked second in three of the four regions, and Google is ranked third in three of them. Asia Pacific is the one region where the ranking differs, thanks to the prominence of the Chinese market and the dominance of local cloud providers in China. That results in Alibaba being ranked second in the APAC region and fourth worldwide. IBM, Salesforce and Tencent fill out the other top five slots in the regions, the latter thanks to its position in China.
Public IaaS and PaaS are the most prominent segments of the cloud infrastructure services market and account for the bulk of the revenues, with the balance coming from managed or hosted private cloud services. Within public cloud, the dominance of AWS, Microsoft and Google is even more marked than in the larger cloud market. AWS alone accounts for 40% of the market and the three leaders in aggregate account for almost 65%. In marked contrast to the rest of the world, in China the top five cloud providers are all local companies. China now accounts for over a third of the total APAC market and its share of the regional total is increasing each quarter.
