Industry Findings: Cloud compute usage across Latin America continues to expand as enterprises strengthen digital operations while managing uneven infrastructure maturity and fragmented regulatory environments. Organizations in BFSI, retail, telecommunications, logistics, and public services are upgrading enterprise IT platforms and analytics systems to improve service reach, resilience, and operational efficiency. A coordinated governance signal emerged in May-2024 when several Latin American governments advanced alignment on cloud usage and data protection standards through updated digital policy frameworks. These updates reinforced expectations around data handling, service continuity, and operational accountability for public-sector systems, influencing private enterprises with regulated or cross-border operations. Since then, hybrid and multi-cloud deployment approaches have gained wider acceptance, allowing enterprises to balance scalability with compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Demand remains focused on general-purpose and memory-optimized virtual machines supporting enterprise IT workloads and analytics processing. Elastic compute supports development environments and demand variability linked to digital commerce and public services. Enterprises across the region have continued prioritizing predictable performance, cost transparency, and phased migration strategies through 2025, favoring controlled adoption over rapid capacity expansion.
Industry Player Insights: Key companies active across Latin America include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In Jun-2024, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure expanded compute capacity supporting enterprise workloads across multiple Latin American markets. In Feb-2025, Google Cloud increased availability of compute-optimized virtual machines serving analytics-driven and data-intensive enterprise applications across the region.
