Amazon Poised to Surpass Apple in Market Value by 2030 Driven by AI and Cloud Growth

Amazon's market capitalization trajectory suggests it could overtake Apple's $3.5 trillion valuation by 2030, fueled by accelerating growth in its cloud computing and advertising divisions. The e-commerce giant currently trails Apple by $1 trillion but demonstrates stronger momentum where it matters most.

While Apple relies on hardware sales in its maturing ecosystem, Amazon Web Services posted 17% year-over-year revenue growth to $31 billion last quarter. The cloud platform is becoming an infrastructure backbone for both enterprise digital transformation and emerging artificial intelligence applications.

Advertising services and AWS now drive Amazon's profitability more than its legacy e-commerce operations, which saw an 11% revenue increase. This strategic shift mirrors the tech industry's broader transition toward enterprise software and cloud infrastructure as primary value drivers.
