Industry Findings: Enterprise reliance on cloud compute in the Philippines continues to expand as organizations strengthen digital delivery across financial services, telecommunications, retail, and public administration. Enterprises are upgrading enterprise IT systems, analytics environments, and customer-facing platforms while managing connectivity variability and service reliability challenges. In 2024, the government strengthened national cloud and data protection guidance for public-sector and regulated workloads, reinforcing expectations around data security, continuity planning, and use of accredited infrastructure. This change has influenced private enterprises supporting payments, citizen services, and digital commerce to apply stricter governance when migrating production workloads. Since then, hybrid deployment models have gained wider acceptance, enabling organizations to combine public cloud scalability with localized risk controls. Demand remains concentrated on general-purpose and memory-optimized virtual machines supporting enterprise IT and analytics workloads. Elastic compute supports development cycles and demand spikes linked to digital service usage. Through 2025, enterprises have continued prioritizing predictable performance, cost transparency, and phased migration strategies that support steady digital growth without introducing operational instability.
