Highlights:
- By 2025, over 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud native platforms
- Cloud revenue will surpass non cloud revenue
- Cloud native technologies will be pervasive for digital transformation
- Low-Code and No-Code Technologies Use Will Nearly Triple by 2025
As enterprises look to enhance digital experiences, Gartner forecasts global cloud investments in 2022 could total $474 Billion, up from $408 billion in 2021. The surge in digital services amid the pandemic is making Cloud the centrepiece of new digital experiences.
“There is no business strategy without a cloud strategy”, said Gartner analyst Milind Govekar.
“The adoption and interest in public cloud continues unabated as organizations pursue a “cloud first” policy for onboarding new workloads.
Cloud has enabled new digital experiences such as mobile payment systems where banks have invested in startups, energy companies using cloud to improve their customers’ retail experiences or car companies launching new personalization services for customer’s safety and infotainment.”
In 2022, global cloud revenue is estimated to total $474 billion, up from $408 billion in 2021.

Low-Code and No-Code Technologies Use Will Nearly Triple by 2025
Aiming to deliver new digital experiences on cloud, app development will shift to assembly and integration. The applications will be assembled and composed by the teams that use them.
“This will drive the rise of low-code application platforms (LCAPs) and citizen development.”
By 2025, 70% of new applications developed by organizations will use low-code or no-code technologies, up from less than 25% in 2020
“The technological and organizational silos of application development, automation, integration and governance will become obsolete,” said Govekar.
The rise of low-code application platforms (LCAPs) is driving the increase of citizen development, and notably the function of business technologists who report outside of IT departments and create technology or analytics capabilities for internal or external business use.
Over the next few years, cloud revenue will surpass noncloud revenue for relevant enterprise IT markets

Cloud Digital: Connect Everywhere with SASE
Cloud-delivered secure access service edge (SASE) presents the fastest growth opportunity in the digital networking and network security market.
As most traffic from branches and edge computing locations will not go to an enterprise data centre, CIOs and IT leaders will increasingly use SASE to secure the anywhere and anytime access needs from users and devices.
Gartner estimates that in 2022, end-user spending on SASE will total $6.8 billion, up from $4.8 billion in 2021.
In addition, by 2025, more than 50% of organizations will have explicit strategies to adopt SASE, up from less than 5% in 2020.
“Instead of shipping all traffic to central security appliances, CIOs and IT leaders must bring security to the sessions, instead of bringing sessions to the security,” said Govekar.
