Cloud computing exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer investors a way to gain diversified exposure to companies at the core of modern technology. While artificial intelligence captures significant attention, cloud infrastructure and software remain the foundation supporting the large-scale operations of AI, cybersecurity, and digital services, and this market continues to grow rapidly. According to Grand View Research, the global cloud computing market size reached $752 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to $2.4 trillion by 2030.
