Cloud ITSM market size to grow to $12.2 billion by 2025
The cloud ITSM market size is expected to grow from $4.7 billion in 2020 to $12.2 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 21.2% during the forecast period, according to MarketsandMarkets.
The flexibility and agility of cloud-based models would support the IT service needs of enterprises. The leading CSPs/hyperscalers—Microsoft, IBM, and AWS—are expected to increase their CapEx primarily for data center expansion to support the increasing workload for their internal and external stakeholders.
The increasing volume of data generation in websites and mobile apps, rising focus on delivering customer-centric applications for driving customer satisfaction, and growing need to control and reduce CapEx and Operational Expenditure (OpEx) are a few factors driving the growth of the emerging technologies.
The emerging technologies, such as big data, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning are gaining traction, which is ultimately leading to the growth of the cloud ITSM market globally.
The sudden shutdown of offices, schools, colleges, and physical retail stores has massively disrupted operations; this has led to an increase in the demand for digital workplace tools and services, such as Zoom, Slack, Blackboard, Lynda, Canvas, Google Classroom, AnyMeeting, and Moodle.
AWS, Microsoft, and Google host and manage all applications in a public cloud environment. Increased spend on cloud services by select industries due to COVID-19.
Industries, such as IT and ITeS, telecom, online retail/commerce, media, and BFSI, are expected to increase spending on cloud-based services to sustain their business. Highly regulated and cash-rich industries, such as BFSI, are also expected to move selective workloads to public cloud environments.

Organizations across verticals use these ITSM solutions for enhanced visibility as well as to prevent service outages and achieve maximized operational agility.
Increased cloud adoption of cloud among SMEs is driving the cloud ITSM market
The major driving factors favoring the adoption of cloud ITSM solutions among SMEs include reliability, scalability, integration, flexibility, and improved productivity. The cloud ITSM market for SMEs is expected to gain traction as it provides flexibility and scalability along with reduced costs.
The implementation of cloud-based technologies is expected to result in increased revenues, desired outcomes, and improved business efficiency for SMEs. However, SMEs face three critical challenges: capital, skills, and scalability.
To overcome these issues, SMEs adopt the pay-as-you-go model, which offers flexibility to manage their IT infrastructure according to their requirements.
