2025 and 2026 benchmarks
52.74%
That is 7.42 percentage points higher than in 2023, showing adoption is continuing to broaden beyond the earliest cloud users.

This is one indicator of infrastructure-oriented cloud use, rather than only adopting end-user software.

This reflects platform-as-a-service use for building and running an organization’s own applications.

The marketplace is the federal government’s public directory for cloud services that have completed FedRAMP authorization.

Cloud use reaches far beyond email and storage, yet the adoption gap between large and small organizations remains meaningful. As more organizations rely on cloud services for their own applications and development work, the decisions around architecture, ownership, security, and operating practices carry more weight.
For federal work, the marketplace count illustrates the scale of the authorized cloud ecosystem. A larger ecosystem gives teams more choice, but it also makes disciplined evaluation and implementation more important.
