US Dominates the Cloud Hosting Scene
The recent numbers from Buy Shares paint a clear picture: the United States is poised to own nearly half of the global public cloud hosting revenue. In 2020, the US is projected to capture a whopping 47.21% of the worldwide earnings, which amounts to about $95.47 billion.
What this means for the cloud market
- Almost a split-second advantage: The US outpaces the rest of the world by a wide margin on a single metric.
- Revenue breakdowns: Out of every $100 earned in global cloud hosting, just under $48.00 is coming from the US.
- Economic boost: These figures underline the country’s leadership in technology infrastructure and data services.
Why the numbers hold up
The data suggests that American firms—whether giants or nimble startups—are pushing the limits of cloud capacity, customer reach, and profitability. It’s no exaggeration to say the US is on the cloud of success, orbiting the rest of the market like a diligent satellite.
