The onset of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020 led to a speed-up in the Information & Technology (ICT) and its infrastructure activities across region. Strict government regulations have led many industrial verticals to shift their business models. Thus, to maintain operational efficiency and for the safety of employees, many enterprises across verticals have adopted the work from a home model, surging collaboration-based solutions, such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The regional lockdowns, caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, forced a large share of the population to stay at home, fueling the popularity of video-on-demand (VoD), thereby increasing the need for IaaS. Companies that provide video-on-demand (VoD) services, such as YouTube, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Twitch, Disney+, and Apple TV, are expanding their offerings to meet the customers’ needs. Many organizations are increasing their cloud spending budget by more than 50% amid COVID-19. Thus, the COVID-19 crisis is leading to an increased pace of cloud adoption, supporting the market substantially.
