The cloud load balancers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.96 billion in 2023 to $10.40 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1%. The growth observed during the historic period can be credited to the emergence of cloud computing, a surge in internet traffic, the expansion of e-commerce, business growth, and heightened concerns regarding cybersecurity.
The cloud load balancers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.14 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by the expansion of edge computing, increased adoption of hybrid cloud solutions, the rollout of 5G technology, advancements in zero-trust security measures, and the continued growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). Major trends expected during this period include a transition towards software-defined load balancing approaches, the integration of AI-driven traffic optimization techniques, the implementation of API-driven load balancing strategies, incorporation of load balancers with service mesh technologies, and the emergence of edge-specific load balancers.
The growth of the cloud load balancers market is expected to be fueled by the increasing number of online gamers. Online gamers engage in multiplayer video games over the internet, interacting with others in virtual environments. This demographic is expanding due to the rising popularity of online multiplayer games, advancements in blockchain-based technologies, and the emergence of competitive gaming tournaments and esports. Cloud load balancers play a crucial role in distributing traffic across online gaming platforms, ensuring low-latency connections, optimizing game performance, and evenly managing loads during peak gaming periods. For example, according to Uswitch Limited in May 2023, the global online gamer population reached 3.2 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach 5.7 billion by 2032, representing a 44% increase from 2022. Consequently, the growing number of online gamers is propelling the growth of the cloud load balancers market.
Key players in the cloud load balancers market are concentrating on developing security-centric load balancing solutions, such as managed load balancers, to gain a competitive advantage. Managed Load Balancer, equipped with an SSL certificate, offers SSL/TLS encryption capabilities to secure data transmission between clients and servers. For instance, in March 2022, UpCloud, a Finland-based cloud service provider, introduced Managed Load Balancer to simplify load balancing for cloud services. It features easy setup via an intuitive control panel or API, with development and production plans. The production plan ensures high availability through a dual-node setup, supporting up to 50,000 concurrent connections per node. The managed load balancer and SSL certificate manager aim to streamline operations and enhance resilience in cloud infrastructure. Currently available in open beta, it promises stress-free load distribution.
