Cloud infrastructure spend jumps 29% on AI demand
Global cloud infrastructure spending hit $110.9B in Q4 2025, up 29% YoY, as hyperscalers poured money into AI capacity.
Global cloud spending on infrastructure services hit $110.9 billion in Q4 2025, a 29% year-over-year increase. That kind of jump is hard to ignore, especially when it comes from the biggest buyers and builders in tech: the hyperscalers.
The number points to a simple reality. Enterprise demand for AI training, inference, and general cloud workloads is still rising fast, and the large providers are spending heavily to keep up. The result is a cloud market that is growing in dollars, even as customers keep pressure on pricing and efficiency.
