Cloud vs On-Premise

S/4HANA cloud has rapid adoption because of its scalability, cost-effectiveness, and low maintenance overhead; it enables businesses to focus on their core capabilities rather than IT infrastructure and system administration. On-premises deployment, on the other hand, is perfect for firms that require complete control and flexibility over their software, which is frequent in industries with strict data security regulations. Here are some key considerations

On-premise provides the full scope, integration with SAP's industry solutions, and more flexibility to extend and integrate with other systems, while S/4HANA cloud is better suited to companies that want to take advantage of massive economies of scale in public cloud options like AWS, Azure and GCP and has a limited set of key scenarios and integrations

What We Think

The SAP S/4HANA market has grown fast in recent years and is expected to continue.

2021
The market is predicted to grow from $1.64 billion in 2021 to $8.47 billion between 2023 and 2030, at a CAGR of 26.44%. SAP S/4HANA cloud version is the best option for businesses looking for a high-performance solution that aligns with their core business strategy while also enabling flexibility, agility, and faster updates cycles.

This subsegment is expected to increase at an annual pace of 8.70%. The growing popularity of digital technology across a wide range of industries, as well as the resulting need for cheap solutions that improve operational efficiency and scalability, have both contributed to the rapid growth of small enterprises.

This increase is attributable to North America's large concentration of businesses, many of which are small and medium-sized organizations (SMEs) in need of the SAP S/4HANA solution to help them streamline their processes and fuel their growth. 

The cloud version enables firms to rapidly expand and readily adapt to changing market conditions. Organizations may take advantage of the most recent features and capabilities as soon as they become available with the quarterly upgrades for this edition.

2021
Geographically, North America has controlled 48.35% of the market in 2021 which will grow at an 8.91% CAGR over the next several years
