Having established itself as an early leader in the market for cloud infrastructure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), the online retailer’s profitable cloud platform, is still ahead of the pack. According to estimates from Synergy Research Group, Amazon’s market share in the worldwide cloud infrastructure market amounted to 30 percent in the second quarter of 2025, ahead of Microsoft's Azure platform at 20 percent and Google Cloud at 13 percent. Together, the "Big Three" account for more than 60 percent of the ever-growing cloud market, with the rest of the competition stuck in the low single digits.

In Q2 2025, global cloud infrastructure service spending grew more than $20 billion or 25 percent compared to the second quarter of 2024, bringing total spending to $99 billion for the three months ended June 30. Looking at the full year 2025, cloud infrastructure service revenues look set to exceed $400 billion for the first time, explaining why the market is so fiercely contested. Despite its size, the cloud market is still growing strongly, with year-over-year growth even re-accelerating in recent quarters, mainly thanks to the AI boom and the computing requirements that come with it.

"This is a good time to be a cloud provider." John Dinsdale, chief analyst at Synergy Research Group said. "In Q2 we saw growth of 140-180 percent in GenAI-specific cloud services, and AI is also contributing to enhancements and added growth across the broader portfolio of cloud services."

Prior to the popularization of cheaper, mass-produced clothing in many post-industrialized regions around the world, fashion was “slow”. In the late 20th century, the term “fast fashion” was coined by the New York Times when describing the implementation of Zara’s new and accelerated model of clothing production. Now, the fast fashion phenomenon has changed the way millions of consumers get their clothes by offering a cheap, easy way to stay up to date with the latest fashion trends.

As our Ranking video shows, Zara, a brand belonging to Spain's Inditex, is part of the company generating the most revenue with fast fashion - recording $40.2B in 2024.

Over the past few years, as more and more IT services were moved to the cloud, the market for cloud infrastructure services grew manifold. According to Synergy Research, cloud infrastructure service revenues climbed to $330 billion last year, up from less than $50 billion in 2017. And while the market's growth had gradually and naturally slowed to just below 20 percent in 2023, the rise of generative AI and the new cloud computing needs that came with it have led to a re-acceleration of growth in 2024 - which is remarkable given the market's size. In the first have of 2025, the global cloud market grew at a rate of almost 25 percent, putting it on track to easily surpass $400 billion in revenue this year.

“We can thank GenAI for supersizing what was already a big and high-growth market," John Dinsdale, chief analyst at Synergy Research Group said. "Despite being on the verge of becoming a hundred billion dollar per quarter market, cloud revenues are still growing by around 25 percent per year, and we are forecasting that average annual growth over the next five years will remain above 20 percent," Dinsdale added.

In terms of market share, Amazon (AWS) and Microsoft (Azure) remain the market leaders, with Amazon alone accounting for 30 percent of cloud infrastructure revenue. Considering that it's a $400-billion market, this means that Amazon's cloud arm rakes in more than $100 billion in revenue per year. And this is high-margin revenue: In 2024, AWS generated $40 billion in operating profit, accounting for almost 60 percent of Amazon's total operating profit.

Google Search remains the single most important revenue driver for Alphabet, accounting for more than half of the company’s total revenue in Q2 2025. As this infographic shows though, 43% of Alphabet’s revenue now comes from other sources, such as Google Cloud and YouTube. Nevertheless, advertising revenue linked to Search continues to be the cornerstone of the company’s earnings, with success still relying heavily on advertiser demand and user activity.

Recently, AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Perplexity have begun to change how people search for information. These platforms registered year-over-year traffic growth of more than 180%, eating into Google’s dominance, which experienced a 1% drop in traffic over the same period.

Despite losing some search engine market share to these emerging AI competitors, Alphabet’s revenue from Search still grew by over 12% compared to the same quarter last year. However, Google Search’s share of total company earnings decreased by 1%. In conclusion, Google Search remains highly profitable compared to the new wave of chatbots, while Alphabet steadily expands alternative revenue streams like Cloud and its own AI projects.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday as the two nuclear-armed Asian powers sought to strengthen ties. Wang had arrived in India a day earlier and met with Foreign Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar as well as National Security Adviser Ajit Doval to discuss topics such as de-escalation at the disputed Himalayan border, river sharing data and bilateral trade.

Tensions have run high between the two neighbors since 2020, when clashes erupted between troops in the Ladakh region, leaving more than 20 dead. Observers note that their warming relations may have been hastened by the concurrent cooling between Washington and Delhi, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to raise tariffs on India to 50 percent over its buying of Russian oil.

In these infographics we take a look at the state of Chinese-Indian trade relationship.

Five months after his last trip to Washington, which ended in a public Oval Office blowup with President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky returned to the White House on Monday. This time accompanied by several European leaders, however, in an effort to show Europe’s unwavering support of Ukraine and possibly also to avoid a scene like last time, when Zelensky found himself berated by Trump and Vice President JD Vance in what many thought looked like an ambush.

Following Trump’s inconclusive meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week, Monday's high-level summit was to explore a possible pathway to peace in Ukraine, with discussions centered around security guarantees, possible territorial concessions and Ukraine’s ambitions to join NATO and the EU. Ahead of the meeting, Trump made clear who he thinks should make concessions to finally end the long-raging conflict: “Presidents Zelensky of Ukraine could end the war with Russia almost immediately,” he wrote in a social media post on Sunday, adding that there would be “no getting back Crimea” and “no going into NATO by Ukraine.”

While Trump appears to be pushing for a peace deal at all costs, Ukraine and its European allies are unwilling to make certain concessions, which they fear would embolden Putin rather than appease him. Like many Europeans, Americans are also skeptical of Trump’s ability to make wise decisions when it comes to the war in Ukraine. According to a survey conducted by Pew Research Center in August 2025, 6 in 10 U.S. adults have little to no confidence in Trump’s decision-making with respect to the conflict, while only 40 percent of respondents expressed their confidence in the president. His tendency to play nice with Putin while berating Zelensky is of particular concern to many, with 33 percent of respondents saying that Trump is favoring Russia too much, while only six percent said that he’s too firmly on Ukraine’s side.

The United States is currently the world's largest oil producer, with output reaching nearly 23 million barrels per day in 2024, accounting for around 22 percent of global production. Yet, the dominant force in the global oil industry isn't American. That title belongs to Saudi Aramco, the Saudi state-owned oil company.

Saudi Aramco also boasts the highest market capitalization in the sector, at over $1.5 trillion. This valuation puts it far ahead of its closest competitor, U.S. giant ExxonMobil, which is valued at $457 billion. Aramco controls nearly all of Saudi Arabia's oil resources and operates Ghawar, the largest oil field on the planet.

According to data compiled by CompaniesMarketCap, three of the world’s top ten oil companies are from the U.S. (ExxonMobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips). The ranking also includes three Chinese firms (PetroChina, CNOOC, and Sinopec) and two British companies (Shell and BP).

To date, the United States has been the biggest supporter of Ukraine in terms of aid, according to data from the Ukraine Support Tracker compiled by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW Kiel). EU institutions (including the European Commission and the Council), followed by Germany and the United Kingdom have been the next biggest contributors.

This chart looks at financial assistance (such as loans and grants), humanitarian aid (like food and medical supplies), and the value of weapons and equipment delivered. This included in-kind donations to the Ukrainian military and financial support tied to military purposes.

When looking solely at military aid, including weapons and defense-related financial support, Germany ranks second, contributing an estimated €16.5 billion. The United States remains the largest military backer, however, having delivered weapons and military funds totaling approximately €115 billion between January 24, 2022 and June 30, 2025.

The Ukraine Support Tracker, maintained by IfW Kiel, systematically records the publicly known support pledged by governments of 31 Western countries since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. It tracks military, financial, and humanitarian assistance, aiming to provide a factual basis for ongoing discussions about international aid to Ukraine.

Der Anteil von Abiturnoten mit der Note 1,0 ist in den letzten 18 Jahren deutlich angestiegen. Thüringen liegt dabei lange Zeit an der Spitze. Das zeigt die Animation mit Daten der Kultusminister Konferenz. Auch der Notenbereich von 1,0 bis 1,9 hat deutlich zugenommen: Im Jahr 2024 liegt er bei 30,7 Prozent - ein deutlicher Zuwachs gegenüber den 20,1 Prozent im Jahr 2006. Der Anteil von weniger guten Noten im Bereich von 3,0 bis 4,0 ist dagegen kleiner geworden, während sich der Bereich der guten Abiturnoten von 2,0 bis 2,9 vergleichsweise stabil um die 50-Prozent-Marke bewegt.

In den Jahren der Corona-Pandemie war der Anteil der "Einser-Abis" mit 33,6 bzw. 34,2 Prozent besonders hoch. Die Kultusministerien der Länder bestreiten, dass es einen „Corona-Bonus“ gegeben habe. Trotz der Pandemie seien Anspruch und Niveau des Abiturs nicht gesenkt worden.

In Deutschland wird bereits seit längerem darüber diskutiert, ob der höhere Anteil sehr guter Abiturnoten durch das Absenken von Leistungsanforderungen erklärt werden kann oder eine Folge des höheren Bildungsstandards ist.
