How big the market is

Spending on cloud infrastructure services reached $168 billion in the third quarter of 2026. That was 55% more than in the same quarter of 2025.

Why share and reported revenue differ

A share of 26% of $168 billion works out to $43.7 billion, while AWS reported about $46.0 billion for the same quarter. For Microsoft the same arithmetic gives $31.9 billion against $33.2 billion of Azure revenue, and for Google $26.9 billion against $30.7 billion for a segment that includes Workspace.

The figures differ because they measure different things. The analyst applies one definition of cloud infrastructure services to every provider. Each company draws its own segment boundary. This site ranks on reported revenue and shows share next to it.
