The growth of the infrastructure software market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing demand for 5G connectivity. 5G, the fifth generation of networks, facilitates a new type of network connecting virtually everyone and everything, including machines, objects, and devices. The infrastructure software industry is expected to benefit from the emergence of new applications and services enabled by 5G, particularly as the demand for 5G connections continues to grow. The rising popularity of cloud computing further contributes to the demand for 5G. A report published by the GSM Association (GSMA) in September 2022 revealed that over 640 million 5G connections were recorded in 2022, with an anticipated total of 2 billion connections by 2025. Thus, the adoption of 5G technology serves as a catalyst for the growth of the infrastructure software market.
The growing trend of digital transformation is anticipated to drive the expansion of the infrastructure software market in the coming years. Digital transformation, often referred to as digitalization, involves the strategic and comprehensive integration of digital technologies, processes, and capabilities throughout an organization, leading to significant changes in its operations, business models, and interactions with customers, employees, and other stakeholders. Infrastructure software solutions are essential for optimizing operations, improving scalability, and enhancing overall efficiency in the fast-changing digital environment. The increasing dependence on cloud computing, cybersecurity strategies, and data management further heightens the demand for advanced infrastructure software. For example, a report published by gov.UK, a UK government website, indicated that in 2022, provisional estimates showed the digital sector contributed $171.25 million to the UK economy, representing 7.2% of the total UK gross value added (GVA). This marks a slight rise from 7.1% in 2021, based on current prices.
Leading companies in the infrastructure software market are developing enterprise private 5G networks to enhance secure, high-speed wireless connectivity, optimize network performance, and meet the rising demand for industrial IoT applications, smart factories, and digital transformation initiatives within organizations. Enterprise private 5G refers to a dedicated 5G network designed, built, and operated specifically for a single organization or enterprise. For example, in June 2024, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), a US-based IT solutions provider, launched its enterprise private 5G solution, which aims to simplify the deployment and management of private 5G networks. This innovative offering seeks to make private 5G networks as user-friendly as traditional Wi-Fi by consolidating hardware components, such as servers and small cells, into a unified platform. Moreover, the technology is set to seamlessly integrate with HPE's existing Aruba Networking solutions, streamlining network management for enterprises.
