MEA 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: Enterprise use of cloud compute across the Middle East and Africa is expanding as organizations digitize operations while adapting to uneven infrastructure availability and diverse regulatory structures. Companies in BFSI, telecommunications, energy, logistics, and public services are strengthening enterprise IT platforms and analytics environments to improve uptime, service reach, and operational efficiency. A region-wide governance signal emerged in May-2024 when several MEA governments updated cloud governance and data protection frameworks to improve security controls and continuity for critical systems. This shift has influenced enterprise decision-making, particularly for workloads supporting payments, communications, and public services. Hybrid deployment approaches have since become more common, enabling organizations to combine public cloud scale with local controls for regulated data. Demand concentrates on general-purpose and memory-optimized virtual machines supporting enterprise IT and analytics workloads. Elastic compute is used for development cycles and variable demand driven by digital service adoption. Through 2025, enterprises across MEA have continued focusing on predictable performance, cost visibility, and structured migration plans that support gradual cloud adoption without increasing operational exposure.

Industry Player Insights: Leading vendors active across MEA include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In Jun-2024, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure expanded compute capacity across multiple MEA locations to support enterprise and public-sector workloads. In Feb-2025, Microsoft Azure increased regional availability of memory-optimized virtual machines, improving performance for data-intensive enterprise applications.
