GCC Cloud Compute Service Market Size and Forecast by Offerings, Workload Type, Deployment Model, Organization Size, Orchestration Platform, and End User Industry: 2019-2033

---

Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: Cloud compute adoption across the Gulf Cooperation Council reflects sustained enterprise investment supported by national digital strategies, cloud-first public programs, and ongoing infrastructure build-out. Organizations in BFSI, energy, retail, logistics, and public administration are deploying cloud compute to modernize enterprise IT systems and analytics platforms while maintaining strict requirements around data residency and service reliability. Policy coordination advanced in Apr-2024 when GCC member states reinforced alignment on cloud security and data governance standards for government and regulated workloads. This alignment has encouraged enterprises to design hybrid and multi-cloud environments that support scalability while meeting national compliance expectations. Demand remains strongest for general-purpose and compute-optimized virtual machines supporting transactional systems and analytics workloads. Accelerated compute is used selectively for analytics and AI initiatives. Through 2025, enterprises across the GCC continue emphasizing stable performance, vendor continuity, and phased migration approaches instead of rapid capacity expansion.

Industry Player Insights: Companies operating across GCC markets include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In Jul-2024, Google Cloud expanded compute capacity to support high-availability enterprise workloads across GCC regions. In Jan-2025, Amazon Web Services increased availability of compute-optimized instances used by analytics and data-driven enterprise applications.
