Industry Findings: Singapore procurement continues to prize multi-cloud connectivity, sovereign-ready options for regulated workloads, and carrier-integrated edge services; platform buyers expect PaaS offerings to provide low-latency interconnects, strong compliance artefacts, and clear sustainability credentials. As a regional hub, Singapore’s buyer community evaluates platforms based on cross-border connectivity and how easily a provider plugs into local telco and exchange ecosystems.
Industry Progression: A major industry development that changed capacity dynamics was Amazon’s commitment to spend US$9 billion on cloud infrastructure in Singapore, announced in May-2024; that investment signalled a long-term hyperscaler commitment to Singapore-hosted PaaS and spurred carriers and integrators to augment managed PaaS packaging and edge-connectivity options for regulated and enterprise customers.
Industry Player Insights: Among the many companies in this market, a few include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Corporation, Singtel, and Google Cloud etc. AWS’s multi-year Singapore investment (May-2024) and Singtel’s Azure MEC initiatives (May-2023) demonstrate how hyperscaler capital and telco edge partnerships jointly expand practical PaaS options for enterprises that require low latency, sovereign-supported deployments and strong connectivity across ASEAN.
