Market Growth Factors
Cost reduction and optimization for information technologies is the primary driver of the managed services market. Organizations outsource IT operations to focus on their core businesses, and to take advantage of the advanced technologies, 24/7 service, and expertise of managed services providers (MSPs). This move is part of an effort to keep operating costs down and deliver quality IT services.
Both AI and automation are also part of the managed services sector and help increase service quality and reduce human error. In addition, the cyber-threat landscape is growing in number and complexity, as shown by the increase in cybersecurity managed services. For example, cyber-attacks rose to 2365 per year in 2023 and involved over 343 million victims per year, creating demand for security services including 24/7 monitoring, incident response, and compliance management.
The adoption of cloud technologies is a major business driver for the growth of the managed cloud service market. Companies move their workloads to the cloud to reduce costs, ease collaboration, and provide access. They also seek specialist knowledge in cloud management from MSPs. The collaboration between Rackspace Technology and young Hollywood in May 2024 to implement a Google Cloud solution offers an example of cloud service use cases.
