The four big cloud providers, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, IBM and Google control well over half of the world's cloud infrastructure services market, according to a new second quarter data from the Synergy Research Group. The combined market share of the big four rose to 54% in the last quarter compared with 46% in the same quarter last year and 41% in the year before.

Synergy estimates that quarterly revenues from cloud infrastructure services (including IaaS, PaaS and private & hybrid cloud) are now approaching $6 billion, while trailing twelve-month revenues are close to $20 billion. North America continues to account for over half of the worldwide market, followed by the EMEA and APAC regions, said the market research firm.

John Dinsdale, a Chief Analyst and Research Director at Synergy Research Group
The cloud infrastructure services market is quite clearly bifurcating with a widening gap between the big four cloud providers and the rest of the service provider community. Developing the necessary global hyperscale data center infrastructure along with the required marketing and operations support is simply beyond the reach of all but a very small number of players.
