Market Overview:
The global software-defined networking (SDN) market is expected to grow from USD 2.14 billion in 2018 to USD 11.14 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 24.8% during the forecast period. The growth of the SDN market can be attributed to the increasing demand for cloud-based services and growing need for network agility and flexibility. Based on type, the physical network infrastructure segment is expected to hold the largest share of the SDN market in 2018.
Product Definition:
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a way to manage network traffic using software. With SDN, you can control how data moves through your network using policies that are written in software. This gives you more flexibility and control over your network than you would have with traditional networking hardware alone.
SDN has become an important tool for managing large networks with a lot of traffic. It can help you optimize performance and make it easier to respond to changes in demand or unexpected outages.
Physical Network Infrastructure:
Physical network infrastructure is a set of devices and technologies that are dedicated to supporting the delivery of voice, video, and data signals between two endpoints.
Controller Software:
Controllers software is used in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) to create, modify, and monitor the flow of data within a network. It helps SDN implementation teams to manage and control the entire SDN environment. The controllers software also provides an API that can be used by operators to integrate with their existing networking infrastructure for improved performance as well as increased security.
Application Insights:
The telecom & IT segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growing demand for SONET/SDN cross-connect services, optical transport network (OTN) solutions, and other related products by telecom operators is expected to drive the growth of this segment. Moreover, rising demand for advanced communication services such as high-definition television (HDTV), Video Over Cable Internet Protocol (VOCIP) service, and Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) certification are further driving industry expansion.
The BFSI application segment was valued at USD 818.0 million in 2017 owing to increasing adoption of software-defined networking among banks to improve their operational efficiency while enhancing customer experience through seamless data flow between departments within a bank or across different banks are some of the factors propelling industry growth over next few years.
Regional Analysis:
The North American regional market dominated the global software-defined networking industry in 2016 and accounted for over 35% of the total revenue share. The growth can be attributed to increased investments in network infrastructure, enhanced security measures, and rising adoption of virtualization technologies across various industries. Moreover, increasing demand for high-performance networks with low latency has led to an increase in data center spending that is expected to drive the regional market over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is projected to emerge as a lucrative region during the forecast years owing to increasing number of service provider companies such as China Telecom Corporation Limited (China Telecom), Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd., China Mobile Communications Corp., and BSNL who are investing heavily in deploying Software Defined Networking (SDN) solutions across their vast networks.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for bandwidth and the need for faster response time is fueling the growth of SDN market.
- The growing popularity of cloud services and big data is also contributing to the growth of SDN market.
- The increasing number of mobile devices and BYOD trend are also driving the growth of SDN market.
- Rapid deployment, scalability, and flexibility are some other factors that are fueling the growth of SDN market.
