Abstract:
Netscribes’ latest market research report titled Cloud Computing Market in China 2014 captures the current scenario of the Cloud Computing Market in China. Government initiatives and investments coupled with major foreign players entering into strategic partnerships with the domestic vendor is propelling the market in China. Additionally, dramatic cost reduction along with increased speed and flexibility and widespread use of internet is helping the cloud industry to grow significantly. As the cloud market in China is still in the growth stage, major foreign players like IBM and Microsoft are aiming to capture a lion’s share of the market.
Increased investment by the Chinese government and increased inflow of cloud-related venture capital funds are further contributing to the growth of this industry. The Chinese government’s 12th 5-year plan includes investing significantly in creating new cloud platforms, and building and deployment of cloud datacenters across the country. China has jumped on cloud computing bandwagon as it makes way for huge developments in cloud computing aimed at servicing government and industry needs. In most cases China is also looking to boost its own complete data center supply chain with regional hubs creating local product and service delivery methods.
China’s cloud computing market, however, is faced with many challenges. Concerns for data sovereignty and privacy, cloud reliability and after-sales service, bandwidth issue, among others are preventing Chinese users from using cloud services more widely. Currently the market size of the cloud industry in China is around 3 percent of the global cloud market.
The cloud computing industry has sensed the need for mobile cloud owing to the rapid growth of mobile devices applications in China. Also, the industry is witnessing a shift in trend towards hybrid cloud which combines the benefits of both public and private cloud. Though China’s market is lagging behind that of the US and the UK, the future of cloud computing in China looks good as the government is working hard on product and service innovations, data security and privacy protection and encouraging more customers to use cloud service.

SAMPLE
The elimination of large capex component boosts cloud
adoption by a large extent
Cost Reduction (1/3) Impact
•Cloud Computing reduces IT costs dramatically as users can replace a large up-front capital
expense with a low, pay-for-use operating expense
•Public clouds provide access to advanced applications and storage with minimum costs
•Private cloud adoption can reduce a company’s total IT cost by 25 - 30%
•Cloud computing has the ability to drastically reduce the operating expenses of a company
within a span of 5 years
Xiwang Group in China pays only around USD 9,000 – USD 12,000 annually for cloud services avoiding
millions of dollars it would have to spent towards the maintenance of a conventional system
