List of Tables

[195 Pages Report] The Software-Defined Networking Market size was estimated at USD 28.37 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 32.73 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 15.65% to reach USD 78.52 billion by 2030.

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a strategy for networking that utilizes software-based controllers or application programming interfaces (APIs) to communicate with underlying hardware infrastructure and direct traffic on a network. SDN enables networks to be intelligently and centrally controlled or programmed using software applications to help operators manage the entire network consistently and holistically, regardless of the underlying network technology. The increasing prevalence of network automation and virtualization among consumers, the surge in demand for cloud services, data center consolidation, server virtualization, and the need for cloud-based services in digital transformation are crucial factors accelerating market growth. However, the need for a skilled workforce, the rising complexity of SDN architecture, and the absence of standards for complete device control are the major factors that may limit the adoption by end-user sectors. Moreover, ongoing research and development to enhance the security of SDN, the rising demand for hybrid clouds, and the development of open-source SDN are expected to create new opportunities for the global software-defined networking (SDN) market.

KEY MARKET STATISTICS
Base Year [2023]	USD 28.37 billion

CAGR (%)	15.65%

Component: Foundational components for managing and controlling network

SDN infrastructure uses software controllers driven by application programming interfaces (APIs) to communicate with hardware infrastructure to direct network traffic. The SDN service providers deliver both professional and managed services. The professional services include appropriate consultation, implementation of the system, and the necessary SDN support services. SDN software and solutions such as physical network infrastructure, software-defined networking infrastructure, and virtualization & control software SDN allow the end users to configure, manage, secure, and optimize network resources quickly via dynamic, automated SDN programs.

SDN Types: Offering increased flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness

Open SDN has a centralized control plane and utilizes OpenFlow for the southbound API of the traffic between physical or virtual switches and the SDN controller. API SDN requires an OpenFlow-enabled switch, which works well with traditional switches. SDN, through existing APIs, employs functions for networking devices through a remote connection using conventional methods, such as SNMP or CLI. The overlay model operates on an overlay network and offers tunnels with channels to solve data center connectivity issues.

Organization Size: Wide adoption to streamline their extensive network infrastructure

Large enterprises exhibit higher adoption of SDN owing to the rise in the implementation of new virtual machines to handle processing requests due to the need to accommodate Big Data. The growing demand for a customized approach, the rising need to make business more streamlined, and the increasing requirement to improve efficiency by shortening the time taken to troubleshoot a solution are expanding the use of SDN in SMEs.

End-User: Offering flexibility in addressing unique needs and challenges within different industries

An increase in the focus of enterprises on re-architecting their networking infrastructure to achieve automation, network security, and application performance is resulting in increased adoption of SDN. Cloud service providers widely employ software-defined networking as it provides ease and favorable conditions for using cloud computing. Telecommunication service providers also use SDN to improve carriers' ability, wired and wireless networks, to deliver bandwidth flexibly on demand.

Vertical: Robust networking solutions to support large-scale Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) deployments and real-time data analytics

In the BFSI, energy & utility, manufacturing, transportation & logistics, and education sectors, SDN solutions reduce the cost associated with network infrastructure to check on the complete network from a single interface and allocate bandwidth for bandwidth high-priority applications. SDN can help government & defense organizations connect all their agencies under one network. SDN offerings can help the retail & consumer goods and travel & hospitality sectors to avoid traditional bottlenecks and augment the adjustability and programmability of their network. In the healthcare sector, SDN separates the network's intelligence from the data, allowing network administrators to monitor the devices on a network from one central site.

Regional Insights
