Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) represents an automated approach to deploying and configuring network devices and infrastructure devoid of manual intervention or human interaction. This method streamlines and expedites the deployment of network infrastructure by automating configuration processes, mitigating manual errors, and enhancing operational efficiency.
The primary components of zero-touch provisioning encompass platforms and services. Platforms denote the foundational technology or infrastructure supporting applications, services, or systems. Network complexity encompasses a multi-vendor environment, intricate network architecture, and dynamic network settings, while device types include routers, switches, access points, firewalls, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and others. Zero-touch provisioning caters to enterprises of varying sizes, including large enterprises and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), across diverse industries such as information technology (IT) and telecommunications, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, among others.

The zero touch provisioning market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.1 billion in 2024 to $4.81 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising adoption of smart devices, growing number of connected consumer devices, rising adoption of industrial internet of things, increased demand for connected devices, growth in internet of things devices.
The zero touch provisioning market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, expansion of the internet of things and efficient device onboarding, increasing demand for faster network provisioning and scalability, rising adoption of cloud based services and virtualization technologies, growing complexity of network infrastructures. Major trends in the forecast period include standardization and interoperability, cloud native provisioning, expansion into new verticals, self-healing and autonomous operations, ecosystem collaboration and partnerships.
The anticipated surge in 5G network deployment is poised to drive the expansion of the zero-touch provisioning market. 5G, the latest wireless cellular technology iteration, promises heightened capacity, enhanced reliability, and accelerated data transfer rates compared to its predecessors. This deployment trend is spurred by the demand for swifter data speeds, reduced latency, and support for a wide array of interconnected devices. Facilitating remote device setup and management with enhanced speed and efficiency, 5G networks enable zero-touch provisioning. Notably, in September 2023, North America boasted 151 million 5G connections and 496 million LTE connections, with projections indicating an increase to 669 million by 2028, as reported by 5G Americas, a US-based industry trade organization. This indicates the surge in 5G network deployment driving the zero-touch provisioning market in forecast period.
Leading companies in the zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) market are focusing on developing advanced solutions to simplify network deployment, minimize manual configuration, and improve scalability for seamless device integration. ZTP solutions utilize X.509 certificates for secure authentication, ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network, which is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of IoT ecosystems. For example, in August 2024, RAKwireless Technology Ltd, a China-based company, in collaboration with The Things Industries BV, a Netherlands-based company, introduced Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP). This innovative solution enables automated device onboarding without manual intervention, significantly increasing the scalability and efficiency of IoT deployments. ZTP allows devices to connect automatically to the IoT platform upon powering up, reducing labor costs and accelerating deployment. Additionally, ZTP is compatible with major cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud, supporting a broad range of IoT applications.
In July 2023, Vector Capital Corp, a US-based private equity firm, acquired Riverbed Technology for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Vector Capital to broaden its portfolio by integrating Riverbed Technology's expertise in zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) solutions. Riverbed Technology LLC, based in the US, specializes in providing ZTP solutions.
