Pay Attention to These EMEA Enterprises Spending Millions on Cloud Services Each Month
The diverse regions that make up EMEA vary greatly in terms of infrastructure, cloud adoption, and growth. On both the supply and demand side, Europe is the clear leader, making up a majority of the region’s total market size and expected to grow at over 12% CAGR between 2019 and 2026.
The United Kingdom currently leads other EMEA countries in cloud adoption and demand, but other countries like Germany, France, and Spain are also home to fast-growing digital businesses with high monthly cloud spend.
There are two notable buyer groups with massive estimated cloud spend that we selected to highlight in this report: well-established legacy brands and new, high-growth startups. Read on to learn more about the buyers in these categories; and download Intricately’s 2021 Regional Cloud Market Snapshot: EMEA for our full analysis.
