The online retailer’s profitable cloud platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), has established itself as an early leader in the market for cloud infrastructure and is still ahead in the list. The reports from Synergy Research Group estimate that Amazon’s market share in the worldwide cloud infrastructure market amounted to 32 percent in the first quarter of 2023, continuing a slight downward trend that saw its market share slip from 34 percent in Q3 2022, to 33 percent in Q4 2022. At the very time, Microsoft gained two points since Q3 2022 and now sits at 23 percent market share, gradually taking away the lead from Amazon.
