IDC: Cloud Infrastructure Declines in Q3 2019

According to IDC, Q3 2019 cloud infrastructure (for both private and public clouds) revenues are down by -1.8% Y-o-Y as the overall IT infrastructure markets continues to experience weakening sales following a strong 2018.

The -1.8% Y-o-Y decline is "much softer" than in Q2 2019, as overall spending totals $16.8 billion. As a result, the analyst has slightly increased its forecast for total 2019 cloud infrastructure spending to $65.4bn, with flat performance compared to 2018.

The decline in cloud infrastructure spending is the result of the public cloud segment dropping by -3.7% Y-o-Y to $11.9bn, even if on a Q-o-Q basis spending is up by 24.4%. Since the overall segment is trending up, it tends to be more volatile quarterly as just a few hyperscale service providers represent a "significant" part of the public cloud segment.
