Managed Service Provider in Europe Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Europe Managed Services Market Analysis

The Europe Managed Services Market size is estimated at USD 52.09 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 100.04 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 13.94% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• Factors such as the growing adoption of cloud services, growth in cloud diversification, and the willingness of IT companies to minimize capital expenditure and make the most of their IT budgets continue to drive the growth of the studied market.
• Artificial technology and cloud management address various functional business requirements and managed services and assist with the efficient operation of the organization at a low cost without sacrificing the caliber of the work produced. The key market participants are making investments in the creation of new items and the diversification of their product offerings. They are also conducting research and development efforts to provide dependable and affordable services. For instance, in August 2022, Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. (NRI), a leading provider of system solutions and consulting services and system solutions, launched a dedicated managed services room at the NRI Europe Denmark Branch in order to enhance its system for providing managed services in Europe.
• The European region is among the leading automotive manufacturing markets. In recent years, the automotive industry has entered into a period of radical change, with the vehicles being produced expected to be connected, autonomous, shared on-demand, and electric. The emergence of autonomous driving will have challenges, including huge data volumes required for training AI and real-time decision-making systems. Service providers, like Fujitsu, offer solutions that will decrease data volumes and manage them in a distributed fashion, where only the relevant data is collected.
• Furthermore, major players are setting up public cloud setups in Europe to empower businesses. For instance, Microsoft recently announced its plans to deliver two new cloud regions in Germany to equip more organizations and companies in Europe and worldwide to transform them digitally with public cloud solutions. These new regions will offer Microsoft Azure, Office 365, and Dynamics 365 full functionality features, enterprise-grade security, and other features to help customers meet compliance and regulatory requirements.
• Additionally, IoT has forced companies to re-evaluate how customers access information and develop a strategy to best reach them. Millions of new gadgets connect to the Internet every year, making it practically impossible to understand the already complex landscape and the integration challenges and cyber threats provided by many channels. Hence, managed service providers can improve security for each tier of the IoT ecosystem at this point, enabling firms to harness IoT for innovation and stay on the cutting edge of technology by providing qualified resources and round-the-clock support services.
• However, despite the managed services providing excellent benefits, the specific challenges, like reliability concerns, may obstruct the market's growth over the forecast period. The process of hiring an MSP to host critical business infrastructure involves the belief that the providers' business may endure the relationship with them. In case of any failure by the providers to sustain the competition in the market, the enterprises relying upon them may have to entirely replace web hosting, emails, calendars, and other critical pieces of infrastructure, without which it is not possible to conduct business.
• Moreover, the pandemic has also revealed gaps in organizations' disaster recovery plans (DRP) and business continuity plans (BCP). Most of these plans could not address the pandemic, forcing organizations to scramble to transition their IT infrastructure to accommodate a distributed and remote workforce. The pandemic highlighted the importance of monitoring technology and services in detecting security incidents before they cause operational risk. Hence, the post-COVID period is anticipated to drive growth opportunities in the European managed services market.
