The Danish Competition and Consumer Authority is examining the market for cloud services for businesses and the public sector.

The Danish Competition and Consumer Authority is initiating an analysis of the state of competition in the market for cloud services for businesses and the public sector. The purpose of the analysis is to identify potential challenges to competition.

The analysis has not been initiated based on the new rules regarding market investigation in Section 15f of the Competition Act.

Cloud services play an important role in the Danish economy, and they are expected to grow in significance in the future. They are central to digital development and support IT operations in most Danish companies, including solutions with artificial intelligence. However, several competition authorities in other countries have pointed out competition issues in the cloud market.

The purpose of analyzing competition in the Danish market for cloud services is to gain a better understanding of the market, including its players and services. Furthermore, the analysis will provide the authority with a better understanding of potential competition issues that Danish businesses and public organizations experience regarding their purchasing and use of cloud services.

The Danish Competition and Consumer Authority encourages all stakeholders to contribute with issues or facts that may impact competition in the market for cloud services for businesses and the public sector and that may therefore be included in the analysis.
