EUROPE CLOUD MIGRATION SERVICES MARKET FORECAST 2024-2032

As UK businesses adapt to remote work scenarios, there is a marked shift towards leveraging cloud services to automate various business processes. This trend highlights the critical role of cloud computing in supporting the evolving needs of businesses during these transformative times. Recognizing the strategic importance of digital and cloud skills for global competitiveness, AWS has committed to a substantial investment of hundreds of millions of pounds. This investment is aimed at providing free cloud computing skills training to an ambitious target of 29 million people by 2025, including individuals from diverse backgrounds and varying technical expertise across over 200 countries, with a focus on the United Kingdom.

While large enterprises in the UK are leading the way in accelerating cloud adoption, small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly showing interest in infrastructure-as-a-service offerings. A cloud-first approach is becoming more prevalent, as a growing number of businesses envision a future where a substantial portion of their IT operations is transitioned to the cloud. The ongoing demand for public cloud services in the United Kingdom, driven by the imperative of remote work during the pandemic, reflects a paradigm shift in how businesses are approaching and integrating cloud solutions to meet evolving operational needs and sustain growth in an increasingly digital-first environment.

The Europe cloud migration services market segmentation includes organization size, deployment model, application, and vertical. The application segment is further classified into project management, infrastructure management, security & compliance management, and other applications. 

Cloud migration services tailored for security and compliance management have become essential as organizations increasingly depend on cloud platforms and services. The rise in cloud security adoption has led to the development of compliance standards to ensure that cloud environments align with international, federal, state, and local security regulations and laws. Failure to maintain compliance can result in significant consequences, including legal disputes, financial penalties, and reputational harm.

Cloud security solutions, provided by cloud service providers, offer multiservice packages and multilayered services designed to strengthen the security posture of cloud environments. The primary goals of cloud security compliance management are twofold: to ensure that organizations comply with regulatory requirements and internal policies and to efficiently monitor and report on their compliance status. By automating security and compliance postures, cloud migration services help organizations establish configuration governance and proactively detect vulnerabilities and threats.
