Eurostat
Annual share of enterprises (10 persons employed or more) using paid cloud computing services, by service type, for EU member states, EFTA countries, EU candidate countries and EU/euro-area aggregates. Eurostat dataset isoc_cicce_use ('Cloud computing services'), filtered to freq=A, size_emp=GE10 ('10 persons employed or more'), nace_r2=C10-S951_X_K (all activities except agriculture, forestry and fishing, and mining and quarrying, without the financial sector), unit=PC_ENT ('Percentage of enterprises'). Each row is one (year, country, cloud service). The 11 'indic_is' codes are the headline E_CC ('Enterprises using paid cloud computing services used over the internet') plus the 10 paid-service subtypes: e-mail (E_CC_PEM), office software (E_CC_PSOFT), hosting of the enterprise's database (E_CC_PDB), storage of files (E_CC_PFIL), finance or accounting software (E_CC_PFACC), CRM software (E_CC_PCRM), computing power to run the enterprise's own software (E_CC_PCPU), ERP software (E_CC_PERP), security software (E_CC_PSEC), and the hosted application development/testing/deployment platform (E_CC_PDEV). Method: Eurostat's annual survey on ICT usage in enterprises, self-reported by national statistical offices; non-EU/EFTA/candidate countries (the UK, Kosovo) are dropped (same licensing rule as the other Eurostat datasets). Units: percent of enterprises. Caveats: the cloud module is fielded most years but not every year (observations exist for 2014-2018, 2020, 2021 and 2023-2025; the connector is declared yearly with no-op refreshes in off years); the subtype shares are shares of all enterprises, not of cloud users, so they sum above the headline only when firms buy several services (no double counting: each row is one service); the UK and Kosovo are dropped by the connector's commercial-use geo rule; the EU27_2020 and EA aggregates are included as published. Coverage: ~40 geographic units after the geo rule, 2014 to the present. Provenance: Eurostat keyless JSON-stat API, free reuse with attribution (Commission Decision 2011/833/EU) - please cite Eurostat. Primary key: (year, country_code, cloud_service). Join keys: country_code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly; Eurostat updates the ICT indicators in spring. Sample use: filter cloud_service='E_CC' to track enterprise cloud adoption over time, or cloud_service='E_CC_PERP' for ERP-in-the-cloud uptake.
