Amazon remained the dominant global cloud computing firm in 2020 as rivals including Microsoft, Alibaba and Google gained ground in the fast-growing market, a research firm said.<\/p>\n

A Gartner survey released Monday showed the so-called “infrastructure as a service” market grew 40.7 percent last year to $64.3 billion.<\/p>\n

Amazon held nearly 41 percent of the market last year, down from 45 percent in 2019 as its revenues grew 28 percent, according to Gartner.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2014seen as a surging rival in the sector\u2014saw revenue growth of nearly 60 percent to capture almost 20 percent of the market.<\/p>\n

Sid Nag, research vice president at Gartner, said the market is growing as more businesses rely on cloud-based solutions, with the trend accelerating during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Nag said the market was also helped by a growing trend of “data sovereignty” with organizations seeking to keep their data in their home countries.<\/p>\n

Gartner said Microsoft in particular benefitted from the pandemic as organizations shifted to the cloud for “critical” workloads, such as healthcare, manufacturing and e-commerce.<\/p>\n

China-based Alibaba also had robust growth to reach a 9.5 percent market share while Google boosted its share to more than six percent.<\/p>\n

Huawei, a Chinese firm targeted by US sanctions, saw revenue growth of more than 200 percent to capture a 4.2 percent market share and the number five position, according to Gartner.\n <\/p>\n\n
