Professional services in high demand

The professional services subsegment is expected to account for the largest market share among services. Professional services provided by cloud service providers (CSPs) help organisations accelerate the deployment by following and adopting the best practices. The technicalities in implementing cloud compliance solutions are expected to fuel the demand for professional services.

IaaS segment to show fastest growth

The Infrastructure-as-a-Service (SMEs) segment is expected to account for a higher CAGR growth during the forecast period. IaaS provides virtualised computing resources, virtual networking, virtual storage, and virtual machines; and is hosted by cloud computing vendors. The use of IaaS is increasing due to the low upfront costs associated with its deployment. Enterprises do not need to maintain or purchase hardware for the same.

North America is largest geographically

North America is expected to account for the largest share in the cloud compliance market. North America, for this study, includes the US and Canada. It is one of the most technologically advanced regions in the world. The region is well-connected with advanced infrastructure, which helps cloud compliance vendors offer quality services to their clients. According to the research, it offers the most innovative and fastest services available in the world through its network infrastructure. The cloud compliance market in North America is competitive due to the presence of a large number of solution providers. The market in this region is already at a mature stage and is expected to witness slower growth compared to the other regions. The key growth driver of the North American cloud compliance market is the presence of most top market vendors, such as Microsoft, IBM, AT&T, Broadcom, Qualys, and Nutanix.

Other market players in the cloud compliance market not already mentioned above and cited by the researchers as major actors in this sector, include Check Point, Sophos, Oracle, and Palo Alto Networks.
