Desktop-as-a-Service Market Outlook:
Desktop-as-a-Service Market size was over USD 9.82 billion in 2025 and is poised to exceed USD 57.83 billion by 2035, growing at over 19.4% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of desktop-as-a-service is estimated at USD 11.53 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing government initiatives to improve IT infrastructure along with increasing IT spending, demand for cloud-based virtual services and adoption of cloud computing services, and growing trends of BYOD (bring-your-own-device) policy. Global IT services spending was estimated to be over USD 1 trillion in 2021, while, in 2020, cloud computing was estimated to have generated over USD 300 billion in revenue.
Organizations are rapidly moving beyond desktop-centric workspace to a multi-device anywhere, anytime infrastructure providing remote access across length. Growing trends of remote working and BYOD policies are creating potential growth opportunities for virtual desktop services, transforming the IT infrastructure. Desktop-as-a-service is a component of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) where it is outsourced to and operated by third-party through a cloud-based server. The cloud services provider hosts the infrastructure, network resources, and storage in the cloud server, streaming a virtual desktop, where a user can access the desktop’s data and applications through a web browser or other software. Moreover, benefits such as cost-effectiveness, data control, continuous security control, and centralized administration along with potential opportunities for smart factory are also expected to foster the growth of the global DaaS market. It has been projected that nearly 80% of all virtual desktops will be DaaS by 2024, up from over 30% in 2021 across the globe. Therefore, all these factors are expected to influence the market growth positively over the forecast period.
