"IaaS continues to be the strongest-growing segment as enterprises move away from data centre build-outs and move their infrastructure needs to the public cloud," said Nag.
"Certain market leaders have built a significant lead in this segment, so providers should focus on creating differentiation for success," Nag added.
PaaS is forecast to grow 31.7 per cent in 2016, to USD 82.1 million.
