Market Trends of Cloud AI Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Cloud AI Market according to our research experts:
Growing Adoption of Cloud-based Service and Application
- The adoption of cloud AI in government agencies is driven by the enormous capabilities of the platform, which allows government bodies to scale massive jobs, including data mining, and can directly impact public challenges. Furthermore, the initial inhibitions for data privacy reasons to adopt cloud computing are being overcome and are expected to gain further traction.
- The deployment of cloud AI has matured in recent years with the emergence and steady acceptance of the cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and other new technologies. Several government agencies have leveraged the competition between three cloud service providers, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform, to provision large clusters of servers, implement Hadoop and data lakes and employ hundreds of data scientists.
- The exhaustive participation of companies has increased the awareness amongst governments across the world regarding the development of the cloud from being a location to store data to a set of capabilities in all of an organization's environments that can reduce costs and deliver innovation and flexibility.
- Companies like IBM have worked closely with agencies at various levels of government to advance the application of cloud, AI, blockchain, and other new technologies. IBM also introduced the Government Cloud Virtual Summit, where various government leaders addressed how cloud AI services can help respond to natural disasters and improve public safety after a cybersecurity breach.
- Machine learning models are trained, hosted, and used to make predictions and provide insights on cloud AI platforms like Google Cloud and AWS. Cloud computing can make wise decisions on its own if AI is implemented in it. The Google Cloud Platform (GCP), which encompasses infrastructure, data and analytics, and other services, is the main revenue source for Alphabet's Cloud business. Last year, Google Cloud had USD 19 billion as income which represents 7.5% of Google's overall earnings.

North America Holds Major Share
- North America is expected to dominate the global cloud AI market, owing to its status as one of the early adopters of the technology. The other factor is that most of the major players in the market are US-based. Cloud adoption among the regional end-user is also quite high. Hence, the investment in the studied market is too high. The region is also a key region dominating the global hybrid cloud and IaaS market.
- Market players operating in the region are investing in innovating additional and unique features to their offerings, mainly to gain a competitive advantage and expand their customer target base. This is also expected to bring advancement in the regional and global markets. This factor expands the market scope further.
- For instance, US-based SoundHound Inc. offers Houndify, an independent AI platform that enables developers and business owners to deploy a conversational interface anywhere to retain control of their brand and users while differentiating and innovating. The company recently added SoundHound music recognition technology to its Houndify voice AI platform. It also strategically partnered with Honda Motor Co. Ltd to accelerate development.
- As regional organizations increasingly migrate their processes and applications to the cloud, vendors operating in the market may have to offer next-level customer experience (CX), performance, and productivity to gain a competitive edge. Companies add intelligence to the available data by using a broadened set of analytics tools that incorporate technologies such as AI, machine learning (ML), augmented reality (AR), and big data.
- Also, the Government of Canada has a "cloud-first" strategy, whereby cloud services are identified and evaluated as the principal delivery option when initiating information technology investments, initiatives, strategies, and projects. The cloud is also expected to allow the Government of Canada to harness private-sector providers' innovation to make its information technology more agile.
- Cloud vendors are further strengthening the demand for AI by offering a number of services and tools that make it easier to develop, test, enhance, and operate AI systems without big upfront investments. These include hardware optimized for machine learning, APIs that automate speech recognition and text analysis, productivity-boosting automated machine learning modeling systems, and AI development workflow platforms.
