The demand for industry specific solutions is increasing from cloud service providers owing to surge in investment to digital transformation. Hence, major cloud providers including Salesforce, Microsoft Corporation, IBM Corporation and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are focusing on expansion of their product portfolio as per industries need. For example, in December 2020, Microsoft Corporation and SAP SE collaborated to offer SAP supply chain solutions using Microsoft Cloud for manufacturing industry.

The market growth is driven by the growing adoption of industry 4.0 across the manufacturing industry.  The industrial cloud enables to automate the manufacturing process through internet of things (IoT). As per the Action Plan for Innovative Development of the Industrial Internet (2021-2023), the number of industrial companies and tools that leverage the cloud in 2023 will double than in 2020. Thus, industrial manufacturing organizations are collaborating with cloud providers to improve applications of industrial cloud platforms. Cloud enables collaboration across various manufacturing plants in different regions, which drives the adoption of industrial cloud.  

The industrial cloud is developed to offer a portfolio of Industrial IoT (IIoT) solutions and insights to improve manufacturing and automotive industries. Further, it helps to empower the supply chain community to foster efficiency gains and transform operations. The increasing investment in digitalization by the manufacturing industry across countries including India, China, U.S., Germany and others are anticipated to drive the market towards a higher growth trajectory.  For instance,

• In March 2022, as per the “India Industry 4.0 Adoption Report” published by the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) and Capgemini, the investments in Industry 4.0 is projected to grow to USD 200 Bn by 2025, which is increased by 10 times in the last decade. In addition, countries such as China, US, India, Brazil, and the U.K. are anticipated to support with an investment of more than USD 100 billion.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Industrial Cloud Market

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the pace of digital transformation across industries including, manufacturing, oil and gas, healthcare and life science, mining and metal, paper and pulp, energy and utilities and others. Manufacturing companies surged the adoption of industry 4.0, which is expected to drive the market post COVID-19. Industrial Cloud enables transmission of data collected through sensors of industrial internet of things (IIoT) to the applications, which are used by operators on mobile or computer. In the post-COVID-19 era, the operational efficiency offered by cloud is expected to stimulate the growth of industrial cloud. For instance,

• According to IBM’s 2021 Digital Transformation Assessment report, 79% of manufacturing organizations deployed cloud computing to automate manual tasks and improve business efficiency.


•  In April 2021 – Volkswagon group developed an industrial cloud for all manufacturing plants in coordination with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Siemens AG. Through the Industrial Cloud, the company is combining production data collected from 120 factories on its digital platform, Volkswagen’s Digital Production Platform (DPP).
