The global zero-touch provisioning market size is expected to reach USD 5,978.5 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.3% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) enables the setting up or provisioning of the managed network devices within a network, automatically, with minimal to no manual intervention. It allows quick deployment of the network devices, tools and automates the system advancement/updating process by utilizing scripts connecting the tools & devices, and configuration management platforms.
Zero-Touch provisioning incorporates basic configuration, enabling the deployment of switches within custom configuration-altering environments. It is substantially beneficial for automating processes, such as fixing bugs, deploying patches, implementing additional features within a prior connection, and updating operating systems. ZTP eliminates human errors, time spent on manual tasks, and operational costs, fueling the growth of the market.
With the development of data centers from static legacy networks to dynamic cloud-computing, the elimination of inaccuracies, and automation is indispensable. ZTP-enabled networking devices support ease of deployment and limit provisioning errors. The rising number of connected consumer devices, Internet of Things (IoT), and industrial machines deployed across commercial, consumer, industrial, and infrastructure spaces is accelerating the adoption of the ZTP market globally.
Moreover, the resultant increase in pivotal deployment of 5G networks and the large-scale emergence of network slicing have profoundly changed the orchestration and management of networks and network-related services. Lastly, many enterprise customers are updating their network infrastructure to improve the security of their networks and ensure more efficient data exchange is fueling the growth of the zero-touch provisioning market.
The market is consolidated, with a few players dominating and capturing a significant share of the overall market. These companies have invested an enormous sum of the amount, as the industry is anticipated to grow exponentially in the near future.
The integration of automation is essential for cloud-based infrastructure for improving the efficiency of existing operations. It creates a configuration bridge between devices and networks streamlining and automating device management. Zero-touch provisioning configures settings, such as email and Wi-Fi on network equipment, enforces passwords, secures sensitive data, and centrally deploys applications and re-assigns licenses according to change in work.
The COVID-19 outbreak significantly impacted the global economy and, subsequently, 5G infrastructure roll-out and deployment plans. According to data released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in October 2021, the global GDP was reduced by a rate of -3.1% in 2020 due to COVID-19. The lockdown, work-from-home, and remote education necessitated the establishment of efficient network services and solutions.
Factors such as the advent of 5G technology, growing penetration of internet connectivity, rising adoption of smart devices, and technological advancements also positively impacted the demand for zero-touch provisioning. With the increasing number of connected devices and network services, the dire need for automating processes such as installation, configuration, and software upgradation propelled the zero-touch provisioning market.
In December 2022, Juniper Networks, Inc. announced a strategic partnership with Deutsche Telekom AG, a telecommunication provider. The partnership aims to leverage the company's advanced technologies, such as AI-driven intelligence, zero touch deployments, and connected security for Deutsche Telekom AG's SD-X, a virtualized and cloud-based platform
