“Many countries in the mature Asia/Pacific Japan region have solid reliable telecommunications infrastructure and relatively advanced technology usage profiles. Despite challenges in the global economy, we expect consistent and stable growth to continue through to 2018,” said Ed Anderson, research vice president at Gartner

Gartner predicts that by 2018, business process as a service (BPaaS) cloud services will make up 9.2% of the overall public cloud services market in APJ, platform as a service (PaaS) will represent 3 % of the market, SaaS will be at 21.5%, cloud management/security services at 4%, infrastructure as a service (IaaS) will be at 9.8% with the remaining 52.5% coming from cloud advertising.

Cloud management and storage and SaaS will be among the faster growing public cloud services during through 2018 as more enterprise and government users jump onto cloud services.

Increased intra-region integration in APJ across services and industries will drive public cloud usage as countries in this region break down borders through trade bloc agreements such as the ASEAN Economic Integration 2015 and the Trans Pacific Partnerships, which will drive more mobility, big data sharing and analytics and public cloud infrastructure and applications to support these initiatives.
