Market Research Institute IDC recently released the market share data of Chinese public cloud manufacturers in the first half of 2018. According to the report, Alibaba cloud, Tencent cloud and China Telecom ranked among the top three, 43%, 11.2% and 7.4% respectively.

According to IDC data, Alibaba cloud's public cloud market share has reached 43%, ranking first in the Chinese market, and has largely left behind its domestic competitors. Today, Alibaba cloud's market share ranks first in China, equivalent to the sum of two to nine. According to IDC's China public cloud market data report, Alibaba cloud has been ranked first in the Chinese market for three years.

IDC pointed out that Alibaba cloud has more cloud products and more diversified services. These indicators are ahead of any domestic cloud computing manufacturer and have leading advantages in many industries such as Internet, finance, and government affairs. With its increasingly strong performance in the global cloud market, more and more people believe that every move of this third largest cloud in the world and the first largest cloud in China is likely to lead the next direction of the cloud market.

Tencent cloud behind Alibaba cloud, due to its strong strength based on video, games and other businesses, has the potential to develop a public cloud, which can not be underestimated.

Five years later, in September 2018, Tencent completed the organizational structure upgrade again and established a new cloud and smart industry business group (CSIG), strengthening Tencent's strategic position in the cloud. Liu Chiping, President of Tencent, said, "the initial revenue opportunity of the industrial Internet still comes from the cloud business. Tencent's cloud services have grown very fast and its market share has been increasing.".

Meanwhile, in the financial report of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, Tencent also mentioned the operation of Tencent cloud for the first time, "driven by the growth of games, video, e-commerce and o2o industries, Tencent's cloud service revenue increased by more than 100% year-on-year".

You know, in the past, subject to the market scale of Alibaba cloud, Tencent has always been secretive about the revenue of its cloud business. For a long time, cloud services and payment related services have been put into "other" businesses. This announcement shows that Tencent cloud is becoming more and more confident in catching up with Alibaba cloud.

China Telecom, which ranks third, has natural advantages in cloud infrastructure and government resources. Recently, China Telecom has frequently won the bid for government cloud, which has a great relationship with it. In the face of central mining, Internet cloud service providers are rejected. However, in the face of fierce Internet cloud service providers, telecom operators have lost high ground in the public cloud IAAs market share for three consecutive years. You know, in the IDC report, China Telecom and China Unicom accounted for 20.7% of the public cloud IAAs market share in 2015; Consolidating the territory of the government cloud and entering the Internet business through investment and financing may be the solution that telecom operators can take.
