The market will experience consistent growth with worldwide PaaS revenue totaling $ 1.5 billion in 2013 and growing to $ 2.9 billion in 2016, the technology researcher said in a statement.
The category of PaaS includes suites of application infrastructure services, such as application platforms as a service (aPaaS) and integration platforms as a service (iPaaS); as well as specialist application infrastructure services, such as database platform as a service, business process management platform as a service, messaging as a service and other functional types of middleware offered as a cloud service.
"Of all the cloud technological aspects, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service ( SaaS) are the most mature and established from a competitive landscape perspective, while PaaS is the least evolved," Gartner said.
"For this reason, PaaS is where the battle between vendors and products is set to intensify the most. It comes as no surprise that the PaaS competitive landscape is still in flux, with traditional application infrastructure vendors facing competition from new large players moving into the market, and myriad specialised PaaS pure players cutting into their slice of profits", it said.
The largest segments within the PaaS market are cloud application platform services (aPaaS), accounting for 34.4 per cent of total PaaS spending in 2012; cloud application life cycle management (ALM) services (almPaaS) at 12 per cent; cloud BPM platform services (bpmPaaS) at 11.6 per cent; and cloud integration services (iPaaS) at 11.4 per cent.
Gartner predicts that the potential spending in PaaS technologies is an average of $ 360 million per year from 2011 through 2016.
