The network monitoring market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.84 billion in 2024 to $3.04 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in complexity of network environments, growing cybersecurity concerns, increased emphasis on performance optimization, compliance and regulatory requirements, expanding scale of IT infrastructure.
The network monitoring market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in cloud-based network deployments, growing importance of application performance monitoring (APM), integration with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), emergence of edge computing networks, focus on network automation and orchestration. Major trends in the forecast period include hybrid and multi-cloud network monitoring solutions, focus on end-user experience monitoring, collaboration with network security solutions, integration of 5G network monitoring capabilities, compliance with data privacy regulations.
The growing popularity of SaaS-based network monitoring solutions is expected to drive the growth of the network monitoring market in the coming years. Software as a Service (SaaS) is a method of software distribution where a cloud provider hosts applications, making them accessible to customers online. SaaS network monitoring enhances visibility and awareness while enabling users to address issues without relying on a service provider's help desk by providing real-time data directly through their browsers. This cloud-based network monitoring service involves the collection, storage, and analysis of network performance data in a SaaS repository, as opposed to traditional physical or virtual appliances. For example, according to BetterCloud's 2023 report, demand for SaaS applications continues to rise, with organizations now using an average of 130 apps, reflecting an 18% increase in 2023. Therefore, the increasing popularity of SaaS-based network monitoring solutions is driving demand in the network monitoring market.
The increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions is poised to drive the growth of the network monitoring market. Cloud-based solutions encompass services or applications hosted, accessed, and delivered over the internet, utilizing remote servers for data storage, processing, and management. They offer users flexibility and scalability, making them a crucial component of network monitoring. Cloud-based solutions provide a comprehensive, flexible, and user-friendly monitoring approach for the entire IT infrastructure. Hosted and managed by service providers, these solutions eliminate the need for a dedicated in-house server. As highlighted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in June 2023, 85% of firms in Australia reported employing information and communication technologies (ICTs) for the year ended June 30, 2022, marking a significant increase from 69% in the year ended June 30, 2020. Notably, 59% of these ICT implementations were attributed to cloud computing. Consequently, the growing prominence of cloud-based solutions stands as a key driver behind the expansion of the network monitoring market.
Technological advancements are becoming a key trend in the network monitoring market. Major companies in this sector are focused on developing innovative solutions to enhance their market position. For example, in June 2024, Datadog, Inc., a US-based monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, announced significant enhancements to its security product portfolio. The latest offerings include Agentless Scanning, Data Security, and Code Security features. These innovations aim to empower DevOps and security teams to effectively secure their code, cloud environments, and production applications, thereby improving the overall security posture throughout the development lifecycle.
Major companies in the network monitoring market are actively developing innovative products, and one notable example is the introduction of remote network monitoring (RMON). RMON is a method designed to monitor network traffic remotely on an Ethernet transport to identify and resolve network issues. This approach aids network administrators in monitoring and analyzing data collected from local area networks (LANs), T-1/E-1 lines, and other network components, offering real-time information on network performance and potential problems. An instance of this innovation is the launch of SANDSTORM by Tech Mahindra in February 2023. SANDSTORM represents a remote network monitoring and smart device assurance service tailored for telecommunication companies (telcos) and enterprises. This comprehensive and innovative solution enables service providers to remotely measure customer experiences on various devices, ranging from smartphones to connected cars. SANDSTORM provides real-time network monitoring, device assurance, and an automation platform for testing and deploying applications. This initiative underscores the industry's commitment to leveraging advanced solutions, such as remote network monitoring, to enhance network performance, troubleshoot issues, and deliver a seamless user experience across diverse devices and applications.
In August 2022, Datadog, a US-based monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, announced its acquisition of Seekret, a Tel Aviv-based company specializing in observability for cloud-native applications, for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at enhancing Datadog's monitoring capabilities by integrating Seekret's technology into its platform. The collaboration seeks to provide customers with deeper API observability, governance, and automation throughout the entire API lifecycle, ultimately improving the overall user experience. Seekret is an Israel-based API build automation platform.
