Cloud computing involves delivering computing resources like storage, processing power, and software applications over the internet. It provides a flexible and scalable infrastructure, removing the need for physical servers and expensive on-site hardware. Through cloud computing, users can access these resources whenever they need them from remote data centers managed by cloud services providers (CSPs). These providers offer access to resources through subscription plans or based on usage. Cloud computing is relied upon by individuals and businesses alike for convenient and effective access to computing resources, whether it's using cloud applications such as Gmail or streaming media services like Netflix.
South Korea Cloud Computing Market Driving Factors and Challenges
The market growth is primarily fuelled by several key factors, including the rising requirement for cloud-based services, the necessity for cost-efficient and scalable IT infrastructure, and the growing adoption of cloud-based applications. The South Korea cloud computing market is experiencing substantial growth due to the increasing demand for cloud services. This demand is driven by the advantages provided by cloud computing, including flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Also, the growth of the cloud computing market in South Korea is expected to be driven by the increasing need for cloud-based services among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
However, one of the primary obstacles encountered by the South Korean cloud computing market is the apprehension regarding data security. With notable instances of data breaches in recent times, businesses exhibit hesitancy in entrusting their data to cloud platforms. This lack of trust can impede the willingness of businesses to embrace cloud services and subsequently decelerate the rate of adoption. Also, the South Korean cloud computing market faces a challenge related to the high costs associated with cloud services. The expenses involved in adopting cloud solutions can be substantial, making it difficult for businesses to afford the upfront investment. As a result, many organizations find it challenging to justify the cost and may be hesitant to fully embrace cloud services. This cost barrier poses a potential obstacle, impeding the adoption and growth of cloud computing in the South Korean market.
Impact of COVID-19 on South Korea Cloud Computing Market
The cloud computing market in South Korea has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak.
