The cloud industry requires companies to make huge investments in servers and facilities that house them, meaning these tech giants’ control of the cloud market is poised to grow, as their size makes them better at investing and attracting clients and more able to take advantage of economies of scale, executives and analysts told the Journal.
Combined, Amazon, Google and Microsoft’s revenue from cloud services grew more than 33 percent last year and is expected to grow close to 29 percent in 2022, according to analysts surveyed by FactSet.

Boston-based Tufts Medicine, Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger and Sacramento, Calif.-based UC Davis Health have all recently made the switch to the cloud, each system choosing Amazon Web Services as its preferred cloud provider.
The health systems said they chose the tech company as it has a great reputation for cloud migrations, a fastcloud system and the goal of reducing health disparities.
