Since the rise of the concept in 2006, cloud computing has gone through a full 15-year history in China. The three major models of cloud computing, SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, range from unfamiliar to familiar, from research and development to application, and are constantly exciting, each with its own way.
Observing closely, before 2019, PaaS among the three major models did not receive much attention in the market, and was even a little silent. The reason:
One is that PaaS itself is not the front desk, and there are relatively few opportunities to show up
The second is that PaaS is a platform, which is a collection of multiple points, multiple lines, and multiple links, and has its own complexity. Practitioners need a certain amount of time to practice and settle
In fact, as an application-oriented platform layer, PaaS plays an important role in improving development efficiency and improving development quality control. At the critical moment when traditional industries seek benefits from digitalization and digital intelligence enters a new stage of development, what is the overall PaaS market pattern in my country? What is the technological breakthrough point? What are the characteristics of both sides of supply and demand? What is the future development trend?
In order to deeply analyze these problems and clarify development ideas, Haibi Research Institute, China Software Network and China Software Industry Association, which have been following the digital field for a long time, recently launched the "2022 China PaaS Market Research and Selection Evaluation Report", aiming to pass The report presents a panoramic view of the development status, competition pattern, and development trend of the PaaS market, establishes a benchmark for industry development, and promotes the healthy development of the industry.
Market size: breaking through 40 billion yuan for the first time
PaaS is Platform-as-a-Service (Platform as a Service), which integrates database, middleware, runtime and other components into a platform, and can provide development tools, operating environment, operation and maintenance management and other services for applications.
Cao Kaibin, president of China Software Network and Haibi Research Institute, pointed out when the report was released that a unified concept term commonly used by the industry is crucial to the development of the industry. As a very critical level in the overall digital architecture of enterprises, there are currently many concepts and names for PaaS in the industry, such as information platform, digital platform, data middle platform, PaaS platform, and digital base. Selection is difficult to form a positive. The Haibi Research Institute suggests that the industry should use the digital platform as a unified concept for development.
Further development, PaaS includes public cloud platform, private cloud platform, and hybrid cloud platform; it refers to the collection of various public capabilities required to support SaaS or traditional application systems in addition to IaaS, operating systems, and virtualization software. In terms of classification, Haibi Research Institute divides PaaS into four categories: base support type, application development type, integrated service type, and technology empowerment type.
Currently, the value of PaaS extends from the development platform (aPaaS) to the integration platform (iPaaS), unleashing broader business potential. In terms of technology, as the cloud native technology represented by containers, microservices, and DevOps gradually matures, it has laid the foundation for the rise of PaaS. In terms of policy, Xinchuang has become an important factor affecting the development of PaaS. In addition, the strong entry of major Internet companies represented by Volcanic Engine, open source, and enterprise cloud becoming the mainstream are all driving the growth of the PaaS market, with huge market potential and bright prospects.
In terms of market size, the report shows that the size of China's PaaS market is expected to reach 40.3 billion yuan in 2022, breaking through 40 billion yuan for the first time. Although due to the epidemic and other reasons, the growth rate of PaaS did not meet expectations, but it also achieved a year-on-year growth of 15%. Among them, Xinchuang projects in the PaaS market accounted for 25.5%, with a scale of 10.26 billion yuan and a growth rate of 35%. Much higher than the overall growth rate of the PaaS market.
Specifically, among the four types of PaaS, technology-enabled PaaS accounts for the largest proportion of 14.5 billion yuan; application development-type PaaS has the highest growth rate, reaching 25.7%, and is 10.9 billion yuan; base-supported PaaS is 6.9 billion yuan, and integrated services Type PaaS is 7.9 billion yuan.
In terms of procurement, the survey data of the report shows that in 2022, 35.9% of users will spend between RMB 100,000 and RMB 500,000 on PaaS. The proportion of users purchasing more than 1 million yuan is increasing, reaching 14.7%. Especially for projects above 5 million yuan, it reached 2.3%. According to the report, the current PaaS market is still in the early stages of growth, and it is expected that the market size will exceed 100 billion in 2025 and enter a mature stage in 2028.
User requirements: Industrial Internet, the highest security requirements
From the perspective of incoming vendors, according to the dimensions of origin, products, and services, Haibi Research Institute divides vendors into six camps: Internet camps, independent vendors, enterprise application vendors, SaaS vendors, foreign vendors, and large central enterprises.
Internet pioneers have obvious competitive advantages by virtue of technology accumulation and application scenarios; domestic enterprise application vendors such as UFIDA and Kingdee have occupied a stable position in the PaaS market, and have begun to compete with Internet vendors; independent PaaS vendors such as containers, low-code and no-code It has developed rapidly in the past two years, but the competitive pressure will increase from 2022. Foreign manufacturers are facing great pressure, and SAP stands out.
From the perspective of PaaS users, the report proposes the following aggregation features based on research:
First, software and the Internet (information service industry) account for the largest proportion of users in the PaaS industry, and application development and technology empowerment are its key applications
Second, from a regional perspective, first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen accounted for the largest proportion
Third, from the perspective of enterprise user scale, medium-sized enterprises purchasing PaaS accounted for the largest number, especially enterprises with 100-800 employees, accounting for 56.1%.
In terms of deployment methods, in 2022, industry users will become more and more conservative in adopting public cloud deployment for digital platforms, while dedicated cloud is welcomed by more and more users, with 35% of users adopting dedicated cloud, ranking No. one. Especially for large enterprises, this trend is particularly evident. Among the large enterprises surveyed by the report, 46% of users choose the dedicated cloud construction method; for very large enterprises with more than 10,000 people, they are more inclined to private cloud deployment, and 62% of users choose the private cloud method.
In terms of awareness, big data, Internet of Things, database, blockchain, and cloud management platforms all exceed 40%, making them the PaaS products with the highest user awareness; in terms of application, big data, Internet of Things, and database platforms are all More than 40%, it is the most widely used PaaS product.
User demand is an important factor driving the development of the industry. According to the survey, from the perspective of future demand, blockchain, industrial Internet, video, security, ARVR, etc. have the highest user demand, and the demand rate exceeds 20%.
Taking the Industrial Internet as an example, in recent years, the manufacturing industry has become a rapidly growing field of digital business. First, the industrial Internet, as a major development direction supported by the state, has been included in the government work report for five consecutive years; second, the digital transformation of industrial enterprises is accelerating, and the application of emerging information technologies in the industrial field has produced benchmarking benefits and continues to stimulate incremental growth Market space; Third, the industrial field is relatively large and scattered, and many market segments lack powerful leading service providers, and there are relatively many opportunities.
Future Trends: Technology Empowers Paas to Reach New Highs
With the deepening of the digital transformation process of enterprises, enterprise users are no longer limited to the improvement of cloud infrastructure, but also hope that cloud services can help promote enterprise business development. This has greatly improved the depth and breadth of cloud services, and will bring a broader stage and market for cloud service providers including PaaS services.
Defan Information, Xi'an Grape City Software, Lanling and other guests pointed out that in the future, every commercial organization will need a high-productivity PaaS platform. The continuous blowout of digital transformation demand has all boosted the new wave of PaaS construction. Changing on demand, faster deployment, and benefiting enterprise users from benefits and long-term value have become delivery standards. In the future, whoever has higher organizational efficiency will be able to stand out from the tight encirclement.
From the perspective of benefit types, the report points out that with the maturity of cutting-edge technologies such as AI and blockchain and the maturity of business models, technology-enabled PaaS will be used by more and more ecological partners, and it will continue to welcome With great development, it is expected to reach new heights. Subdivided PaaS products such as security, industrial Internet, audio and video, Internet of Things, and ARVR will usher in large-scale development.
In terms of trends, the Haibi Research Institute also gave the following conclusions in the report: the development of the DevOps market is not as good as expected; the middle and Taiwan will gradually become the mainstream of the market; the low-code and no-code market has begun to really exert its strength; The hype cycle is about to usher in large-scale landing; the RPA market demand is gradually weakening.
