The reduction in the cost of application development and time is notably driving market growth, although factors such as security concerns related to the public cloud may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The reduction in the cost of application development and time is notably driving market growth. Enterprises are focusing on minimizing their overall CAPEX with the adoption of new technologies. Earlier, each on-premises application requires hardware, OS, a database, middleware, servers, and software, and building and running on-premises applications is a complex, expensive, and time-consuming task.
Thus, there is increasing adoption of PaaS solutions across SMEs as they can help them adopt hardware, middleware, OS, software, and resources as and when needed. Thus, organizations need a high CAPEX in order to purchase and maintain the required hardware, software, OS, and servers and to establish their own data center. Some of the key advantages of PaaS include ease of integration with any data, allowing for the creation of data-centric apps, and providing a connected experience to app users, giving them relevant, contextual information in real time. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) market growth during the forecast period.
The shift toward cloud solutions is a key trend shaping market growth. There is increasing adoption of hybrid cloud solutions as they allow organizations to deploy applications on-premises or on their private cloud. Organizations can leverage additional resources from the public cloud portion of their infrastructure only when needed. Depending on their varying requirements, they can also shift their workloads between different clouds, making it easy to shift from one type of cloud to another.
One of the key advantages of PaaS cloud solutions is that it allows organizations to change their cloud service providers as per their requirements and eliminate vendor lock-in. Thus, not being locked into a cloud service provider's infrastructure is a very important benefit for organizations when they are negotiating the pricing for different services as being locked into a single cloud service provider or a dedicated data center infrastructure vendor does not help in reducing the overall cost of ownership. Thus, cloud solutions offer the portability of applications between different clouds and help leverage the flexibility and cost benefits of the cloud. Hence, it is expected to drive the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) market growth during the forecast period.
The security concerns related to the public cloud may impede market growth. There are numerous enterprises across the world that use cloud services due to their affordability, scalability, and ease of use. Although the functionalities provided by cloud services include reliability, enriched IT service, increased flexibility of data access, and other benefits, there are increasing security concerns associated with the public cloud.
Security and compliance concerns are one of the primary reasons for organizations hesitating to adopt a public cloud solution. PaaS providers maintain infrastructure, OS, middleware, and preinstalled software packages for developing and running applications. In a public cloud, applications from multiple customers are typically run on the same OS. Thus, customers face vulnerabilities such as lax default application configurations and holes in the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols as applications may be isolated from each other using containers or some language-specific sandbox mechanism. SSL-based attacks are considered the second greatest attack for PaaS users. Even though service providers implement certain initiatives, such as secure multitenancy, the nature of the public cloud services leaves them open to attacks from hackers. Hence, these concerns are expected to hinder the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) market growth during the forecast period.
