In addition, the study authors from Grohmann Business Consulting wanted to know how cloud service providers assess the further development of the German cloud computing market and their own cloud computing business. The Corona Special survey conducted for the first time last year (two surveys in spring and fall 2020) and the Gaia-X short survey on the European initiative for more digital sovereignty of European cloud users were integrated into the overall study this year.

From the results of the Cloud Computing Market Barometer Germany 2021, the study authors have deduced that the German cloud market is consolidating. This is shown in particular by the development of the assessment of their own business performance in school grades by the cloud service providers surveyed over time.

While the "very good" ratings have increased continuously over the past three years, the "good" ratings have fallen more and more. In addition, this year for the first time there were also worse ratings than in previous years.

Werner Grohmann, publisher of the Cloud Computing Market Barometer Germany, explains: "The result also confirms our own market observation. In the meantime, some German cloud service providers have managed to put their cloud business on a solid footing. This applies in particular to providers of cloud-based software applications (document management, ERP, time recording, project controlling) and IT infrastructure providers who are helping their customers to move and migrate their on-premises systems to the cloud, at least in part."
