China has the second-largest cloud market in the world with 10.8% of the worldwide total. Canalys conducted a research on the Chinese cloud market in Q4 2019. The data shows that the total spend in China reached 3.3 billion. The research indicates that Alibaba Cloud has nearly half of total spend with a 46.4% share. While Tencent Cloud increased its share to 18.0%, Baidu AI Cloud moved into third place with an 8.8% share.

It is sure that the global COVID-19 outbreak has been affecting cloud demand because of the growing shift to the cloud of the companies. All three cloud companies responded quickly to the COVID-19 outbreak in China at the beginning of 2020.

“The benefits of cloud computing were demonstrated by the leading cloud service providers in response to the escalating coronavirus crisis. They rapidly deployed continuity measures for organizations and established resource-intensive workloads to analyze vast datasets. Cloud companies opened their platforms, allowing new and existing customers to use more resources for free to help maintain operations. They provided free access for research institutions to accelerate drug screening for potential vaccines. Students also benefited by accessing online learning tools setup on the platforms after schools were closed.
