Continuing our series of 2025 trends, in this article, we want to talk about the future of cloud computing. While the benefits of cloud computing are undeniable, the evolution of this technology might need to be clarified. Whereas several years ago, everyone was bothered with migration to the cloud, now businesses wonder what future trends in cloud computing to prepare for.
As a tech company providing cloud development services , Binariks knows what's trending. Discover the main trends for cloud computing based on our projects and the global tendencies in this overview.
The latest 6 cloud computing trends you should follow
This trend list results from a market analysis and our expertise. The research on cloud computing technologies has shown that companies look for new ways to adopt the cloud. At the same time, they aim to make cloud management easier and more transparent. Read more about the top cloud computing technology trends below.
- Ongoing popularity of hybrid cloud with an on-premise load decline
A hybrid cloud is a cloud where applications run in several environments combined. Such an approach has become widespread since most modern companies don't rely on the public cloud solely. Besides, many have invested much time and money into on-premises infrastructure, and the complete transition may be challenging. That's why in 2025, a large share of companies will keep choosing hybrid cloud.
Recent statistics prove this tendency. Gartner predicts that 90% of organizations will adopt a hybrid cloud approach through 2027 (source ). A similar survey shows that 97% of IT managers plan to split the workload between two or more clouds to leverage the best services from several providers and maximize resilience. Anyway, the hybrid cloud adoption rates are very high.

- AI and ML-powered cloud technology
Artificial intelligence and machine learning remain the most-hyped enterprise technologies due to the efficiencies they bring. Yet their growth primarily stems from the spread of cloud computing. Cloud computing technologies allow us to obtain AI/ML software capabilities with low initial costs and outstanding scalability.
Even though you can build your own AI infrastructure, few businesses actually have the resources to do this. It takes enormous amounts of computing power and storage to gather data and train algorithms. Hence, most companies prefer renting AI/ML as-a-service through digital cloud platforms. AI/ML-powered cloud apps are particularly popular in the e-commerce and advertising fields. Firms use such third-party solutions to analyze spending patterns and automate targeted advertising based on the business data already stored in the cloud.
On the other hand, cloud service providers also use AI for many tasks. It helps them manage distributed networks to supply customers with storage resources, regulate cooling and power systems in data centers, and boost data safety with AI-based cybersecurity solutions. In 2025, this tendency will persist with Google, Amazon, and Microsoft investing in their own AI technology. These cloud providers leverage AI and ML to offer more efficient cloud services to their clients.
- Increased investment in cloud security
Recent research shows that many SMEs still view data protection as a barrier to cloud adoption despite planning migration to the cloud. 44% of respondents are concerned that someone can compromise cloud data protection. 54% worry about increased security risks.
Therefore, investing in cloud security is one of the primary cloud providers and adopters' tasks for 2025. Cloud security will drive 11.3% security spending growth , becoming one of the main factors that increase security spending.

- Bringing simplicity to multi-cloud systems through meta cloud
Most enterprises use multiple platform-as-a-service tools simultaneously. Up to 85% of businesses have two or more cloud platforms, and 25% combine five or more. Product teams choose the best tools they need regardless of the cloud the solutions belong to. Since it's almost impossible to consolidate operations within a single cloud vendor, multi-cloud will likely remain for years.
Still, to make multi-cloud governance easier, in 2025, many companies will look for ways to optimize redundancy. They try to benefit from the operational gains of managing multiple clouds while reducing their complexity.
Metacloud is the most common approach to solving this issue. Metacloud is a compatibility layer that enables access to common services such as data, security, storage and computes operations, governance, and app development and deployment. This layer leverages the native technical standards of different cloud platforms via APIs to provide centralized control through one interface. It allows companies to avoid paying for redundant services, increase security, and cut the number of workers supporting cloud services.
- Low-code/no-code cloud services
As software development costs rise due to more sophisticated technology and lacking human resources, businesses seek alternatives. Low-code and no-code tools for building apps with minimum code are a popular shortcut in 2025 and beyond. Some famous examples are Creatio, Zoho Creator, Figma, Salesforce Lightning, and Google App Maker. Companies can use these tools to create websites, basic apps, and other standard digital solutions.
Many low-code and no-code services are provided through the cloud. Companies can access them as-a-service and, therefore, don't need to maintain a robust computing infrastructure. These services also considerably reduce the coding time, allowing an organization to launch faster and with less investment.
- Cloud adoption for making gaming easily available
Many gaming providers can make their products available anywhere and anytime using cloud computing solutions. Like Netflix and Spotify, such games stream content through the network from remote cloud servers. As a result, the processing load shifts from the device to the cloud. Top games become available to a larger number of users, even those who own outdated devices.
Another factor driving cloud adoption in gaming is the fast spread of 5G. As 40% of the global population now has access to 5G, game streaming services will also grow their market share (source ).
Cloud computing market and forecasts
Besides the featured trends, it's worth noting that the overall cloud computing market is growing. In 2027, it will reach ,240.9 billion , up from $545.8 billion in 2022. Hence, more vendors will adopt cloud solutions and invest in the cloud in future years.
Cloud Computing Market Overview
Here are some other valuable statistical insights to consider:
- By 2025, large enterprises will have 60% of their environment in the cloud.
- Cloud adoption can generate $3 trillion in EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) by 2030.
- 71% of SMEs view cloud adoption as a central part of their businesses in the next five years.
- SMEs investing in cloud services post-pandemic record increased productivity (30%), more flexibility (26%), and improved internal processes (24%).
- Security and data protection (37%), data modernization (22%), and IT operations cost and performance (15%) are the main drivers for cloud migration.
The undeniable benefits of cloud computing and increasing interest in cloud technologies make more businesses adopt them. If you also want to supercharge your business with cloud computing, start by hiring a software engineering team. Screening and recruitment take so much time that you may want to outsource the process right away.
