A Cloud Seller's Guide to the North America and EMEA Cloud Markets

Cloud sales and marketing teams use Intricately’s cloud product adoption, usage, and spend data for a clear view into the cloud infrastructure market. Each year, we release cloud market reports that explore what’s happening with buyers and sellers in each corner of the cloud.

In our 2022 Cloud Infrastructure Market Report, we cover growth trends, adoption rates, high concentration regions, and top prospects for cloud infrastructure sellers around the world. 

Intricately data shows there are approximately 11.7 million cloud infrastructure buyers spending a combined $250 billion on cloud infrastructure per year. In this article, we’ll discuss two regions with the highest concentration of major cloud buyers: North America (NA) and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

Intricately is monitoring cloud usage and demand across all spend tiers. Among all global regions, our data shows North America and EMEA as the regions with the highest number of companies investing in the cloud. This ranking holds true both in total (percentage across all global cloud buyers) as well as within each spend tier (see chart above).

Between the two regions there are more than 50,000 companies in the cloud infrastructure spend tier of $20,000 - $50,000 per month. Intricately classifies companies in this spending tier as “high-growth”.

Our data also shows that there are over 2,200 businesses around the world with a monthly cloud investment of more than $500,000 ($6 million annually).
