Market Forecast: Worldwide Public Cloud IaaS Networking Forecast, 2026–2030

Taranvir Singh — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Forecast provides the five-year forecast for the public cloud IaaS (PCIaaS) networking market and delivers insights into its drivers and inhibitors of growth. This presentation also forecasts and analyzes key trends impacting the worldwide market for public cloud IaaS networking for the 2026–2030 period.

"Networking is now a focus area of enterprise AI infrastructure spending. Enterprises are turning to IaaS network services for their cloud connectivity, WAN, and application networking requirements and getting the benefits of simplicity, security, and governance at scale in return. IDC expects the PCIaaS networking market to grow significantly and double in revenue by 2030," said Taranvir Singh, research manager, network infrastructure and services, IDC.

Market Share: Worldwide SaaS Applications Shares, 2025

Frank Della Rosa — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC presentation examines the 2025 market shares of the leading vendors in the worldwide SaaS applications market.

"The worldwide SaaS applications market reached $447.5 billion in 2025, growing 16.6% year over year as agentic AI shifted from experimentation to embedded, production capability across enterprise workflows. Notably, the vendors integrating agentic AI most aggressively posted the fastest growth — SAP at 28.4%, Google at 24.7%, and Oracle at 22.1% — well above the market average. This dynamic signals that agentic AI is proving net accretive to SaaS in the near term, expanding addressable spend by automating new workloads rather than simply displacing seat-based demand." — Frank Della Rosa, research vice president, SaaS, Platform Strategy, and Ecosystems, IDC

Which Cloud Architectures Are Most Often Deployed in the META Region?

Jebin George — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey Spotlight, which draws on IDC's Cloud Pulse Q2 2026 Survey, maps which architectures organizations in the Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa (META) are actually running, breaking out deployment rates for seven architecture types across the META region and in four key markets: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Türkiye, and South Africa. Hybrid multicloud is now the default architecture across the META region. However, the region's cloud estates are wider than they are deep. This report tracks how far sovereign cloud and specialized neocloud providers have moved into the mainstream, and shows where country-level adoption diverges sharply from the regional average. For technology providers, it identifies where multicloud breadth has outrun multicloud depth and where that gap is opening the clearest commercial opportunity.

Trends in Cloud Security

Rob Tiffany — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective compares how Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Alibaba Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Tencent Cloud are evolving their cloud security postures in 2026, against a backdrop of agentic AI adoption, CNAPP market consolidation, and hardening data sovereignty rules. It finds that every provider is converging on AI-native security and machine identity governance as a top investment priority, even as their architectures, regulatory footprints, and third-party ecosystems continue to diverge sharply. For technology leaders, the document offers a practical framework centered on identity mapping, zero trust verification, tested posture management, and jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction sovereignty checks for cutting through vendor security marketing and making an evidence-based platform decision.

“Buyers keep asking us which cloud is ‘most secure.’ This is the wrong question in 2026, as every leading provider can point to real investment. The right question is whose architecture, sovereignty posture, and machine-identity controls actually match the workload you’re about to move,” explains Rob Tiffany, research director, Cloud Infrastructure at IDC.
