Widespread Cloud Adoption Accelerates UK Cloud Database and DBaaS Expansion

Published: Jan 2026

UK cloud database and DBaaS market was valued at $1.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $7.3 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 16.6% during the forecast period (2026–2035). The rapid uptake of cloud computing across UK businesses and public sector organisations is a major driver of growth for cloud database and database?as?a?service (DBaaS) offerings. As firms and institutions increasingly move core computing, storage and application workloads to cloud environments, demand for scalable, flexible and managed database services rises accordingly. Broad cloud adoption reduces barriers to deploying cloud databases, supports hybrid and multi?cloud strategies and enables organisations to modernise legacy systems. This shift strengthens the role of SQL and NoSQL databases in supporting digital services across industries such as financial services, healthcare, retail and telecommunications, which depend on real?time data access and analytics.
