End-user spending on public cloud services in India will grow 25% in 2020: Gartner

End-user spending on public cloud services in India is forecast to total $3.4 billion in 2020, a 25 per cent rise from 2019, and positioning India as No. 3. China and Indonesia will be the countries with the highest growth rates in end-user spending on public cloud services in 2020, according to a Gartner study.

“Moving to the cloud and investing in public cloud services have become imperative to the success of digital business initiatives. It’s no longer a question of ‘why’, but a matter of ‘when’ organisations can shift to the cloud,” said Sid Nag, Research Vice- President at Gartner.

“We have entered the cloud 2.0 era, where organisations are adopting a cloud-first or a cloud-only strategy,” he added.
