BRICS PaaS Market Size and Forecast by Offering, Deployment Model, Organization Size, Subscription Model, and End User Industry: 2019-2033

---

Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: The BRICS grouping is elevating technological cooperation narratives (particularly around AI and digital infrastructure), which is nudging public and private buyers to consider alternative sourcing models and intra-BRICS cloud partnerships. This geopolitical shift is translating into procurement behaviour: some enterprises are exploring more regionally self-sufficient PaaS architectures that reduce exposure to certain international regulatory regimes while increasing investment in domestic platform and AI stacks.

Industry Progression: A notable development for the bloc was BRICS’ extended focus on AI governance and cooperative digital initiatives as published on BRICS’ official channels in Apr-2025; the public emphasis on collaborative AI frameworks and digital infrastructure signalled stronger intra-BRICS policy dialogue and encouraged regional providers to prioritise interoperability and sovereign-capable PaaS features, which affects vendor strategies in member states.

Industry Player Insights: The industry innovation pulse in BRICS is driven by Huawei Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Yandex Cloud, and Microsoft Corporation etc. Each member-state sees different dominant vendors—China- and Russia-headquartered platforms (Huawei, Alibaba, Yandex) alongside global players (Microsoft) and domestic integrators—creating a multi-speed vendor landscape that drives localized PaaS iterations, data-platform variants, and cross-border partnership experimentation within the BRICS economic architecture.
