Alibaba Cloud still Asia Pacific’s largest IaaS provider

Alibaba Cloud has once again been recognized as the largest cloud Infrastructure‑as‑a‑Service (IaaS) provider by revenue in Asia Pacific, based on Gartner’s latest numbers. Its market share climbed to 22.5% in 2025, up from 20.8% the year before, keeping it firmly at the top spot in the region.

On the global stage, Alibaba Cloud ranked 4th overall, with its share rising to 7.7% in 2025 from 7.2% in 2024. The growth is largely driven by demand for AI‑powered cloud infrastructure and investments in systems built for enterprise AI workloads.

Regionally, the company held its lead in Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, placed 2nd in Malaysia and Indonesia, and moved up to 3rd in Singapore, where it posted triple‑digit growth year‑on‑year.

Today, Alibaba Cloud runs 78 data centers across Asia, offering compute, storage, networking, and security services designed for AI production.

According to Gartner, the global IaaS market grew 24.3% in 2025, adding $45 billion in revenue, with AI‑native workloads driving much of the expansion. Alibaba Cloud CTO Dr. Li Feifei said the company’s performance reflects customer trust in its AI‑native and agent‑native cloud strategy.
