Market Growth Factors

The Portugal cloud services market is mainly driven by the active government program to digitally transform the Portuguese experience and digitize public and private sector services, making them more efficient and easily accessible to the public. According to a "Digital Decade 2024" Special Eurobarometer survey in 2022, 74% of the Portuguese population believe digitization makes their everyday life easier, encouraging the use of cloud computing. The government plans to enable high-capacity, high-speed electronic communications networks across the city by 2030, and in doing so further support cloud services. The whole-of-government leadership has also attracted international cloud providers and spurred local development of cloud-enabled infrastructure.

Particularly, the data centers are growing rapidly. Portugal wants not only to satisfy the domestic market, but also the demand of a number of countries. The country also seeks to establish itself as a regional cloud hub for Southern Europe and Northern Africa. Global cloud vendors have been eyeing Portugal to invest in the country, thanks to its climate, renewable energy, and lower costs. Further investments are made in edge data centers and high-speed connectivity into low-latency cloud for Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and real-time analytics. This enables reduced reliance on foreign cloud zones, as well as improvements in data sovereignty, compliance, and performance for businesses and public sector organizations.

Another market driver is the increased focus on hybrid cloud adoption and security, as Portuguese firms are increasingly turning to this model. Hybrid cloud allows companies to combine the scalability and reach of public clouds with the security and control of private clouds in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and government. This has enabled sensitive workloads to be moved to private cloud or on-premises data centers, with public cloud used for development or elastic workloads. Cloud providers in Portugal have responded with advanced management platforms that offer centralized observability, security and governance, and the growth of network connectivity and improved IT skills should provide further long-term market growth.
