Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: Cloud storage adoption across the GCC continues to accelerate as governments and enterprises expand digital services, analytics usage, and regulated data retention. Object and file storage dominate demand for digital platforms, collaboration environments, and archival workloads, while block storage underpins enterprise applications and transactional systems. Hybrid deployment remains prevalent as organizations balance hyperscale cloud efficiency with sovereignty requirements and operational resilience. A structural catalyst emerged during 2024, when enforcement focus around data localization and national cloud policies increased scrutiny on storage location, retention controls, and recovery readiness. That shift encouraged enterprises to expand in-region storage usage and formalize lifecycle management practices. Through 2025, storage consumption has continued to rise steadily as retained public sector and enterprise data volumes expand across financial services, healthcare, and energy sectors.

Industry Player Insights: Competitive activity in the GCC has centered on strengthening in-region cloud capacity and storage durability. During Nov-2024, Oracle Cloud expanded object storage availability across GCC regions to support enterprise analytics and government workloads. In Jun-2025, the provider enhanced storage resilience and lifecycle controls to align with long-term retention requirements. In parallel, Oracle Cloud continues to support cloud storage adoption across the GCC through scalable object and block storage services delivered from regional cloud infrastructure.
