The network as a service market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $20.22 billion in 2023 to $26.2 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.6%. Historical growth can be attributed to a heightened demand for scalable solutions, cost-efficiency, and the increasing prevalence of remote work.
The network as a service market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $78.61 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.6%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by the expansion of edge computing, the need for enhanced security and compliance, industry-specific networking solutions, and the adoption of flexible subscription models. Major trends expected in this period include the integration of 5G, digital transformation initiatives, the adoption of software-defined networking (SDN), network security as a service (SECaaS), and the utilization of network analytics and intelligence.
The increasing prevalence of cloud-based applications within enterprises is poised to drive the growth of the network-as-a-service (NaaS) market in the foreseeable future. Cloud-based applications, integral to cloud computing for data storage, have experienced heightened demand due to the amplified usage of the internet by individuals working from home. This surge in demand for high-speed network connections has prompted the adoption of NaaS, leveraging cloud computing to enable customers to manage their networks by deploying cloud-based applications. This approach grants direct and secure access to network infrastructure. As indicated by Cisco in 2021, the overall data center workloads and compute instances are projected to more than double compared to 2021, with a forecasted workload and compute instance density for cloud data centers reaching 13.2 by the same year. Hence, the increasing prevalence of cloud-based applications across enterprises stands as a driving force behind the growth of the network-as-a-service market.
The substantial increase in remote work is anticipated to be a driving factor in the growth of the network-as-a-service (NaaS) market in the coming years. Remote work, characterized by employees fulfilling their job responsibilities outside the traditional office environment, has surged in recent times. This surge emphasizes the critical need for resilient and adaptable networking solutions. NaaS emerges as a solution by providing secure, reliable, and scalable connectivity, enabling seamless collaboration and access to corporate resources. This, in turn, is contributing to the widespread adoption of NaaS in the market. For example, a September 2022 report from the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, indicated that nearly half of the workforce in the District of Columbia, comprising 48.3%, engaged in remote work in 2021 - the highest percentage of home-based workers compared to states and state equivalents. Noteworthy states with high proportions of remote workers included Washington (24.2%), Maryland (24.0%), Colorado (23.7%), and Massachusetts (23.7%). Therefore, the significant increase in remote work is a key driver behind the growth of the network-as-a-service market.
Prominent companies in the network-as-a-service market are actively engaged in developing innovative products, such as digital orchestrations, to cater to broader customer bases, drive increased sales, and boost overall revenue. Digital orchestration involves the coordination, integration, and management of diverse digital resources, processes, and technologies with the aim of achieving specific outcomes or goals An exemplar in this realm is BT Group PLC, a UK-based telecommunications operator, which, in October 2023, introduced Global Fabric. Operating on a network-as-a-service model, Global Fabric prioritizes flexibility, scalability, and resilience in connectivity. Notably designed for adaptability and convenience, it adopts a pay-as-you-use structure, allowing customers to harness the power of digital automation and artificial intelligence (AI). A distinguishing feature is the empowerment of customers to select and manage their preferred connectivity for applications and workloads, providing control over the routes traversing the network. BT emphasizes that this control enhances application performance, facilitates efficient cost management, and ensures compliance with regulatory data transit requirements. The introduction of such innovative products highlights the industry's commitment to meeting evolving customer needs and driving advancements in the network-as-a-service market.
Major companies in the network-as-a-service market are increasingly adopting a strategic partnership approach to expedite the adoption of optical LAN. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits and success. An illustrative example is the collaboration between Nokia Corporation, a Finland-based telecommunications company, and Furukawa Electric LatAm S.A., a Brazil-based manufacturer of structured cabling, in August 2022. In this strategic partnership, Furukawa Electric LatAm becomes Nokia's partner for implementing optical LAN solutions within the Latin American enterprise sector, with initial deployment initiatives focusing on Brazil. The agreement outlines Furukawa Electric LatAm's integration of Nokia's optical networking equipment into its Laserway passive optical LAN solution. Marketed through its partner ecosystem, this collaboration is geared towards delivering advanced optical LAN solutions to enterprises in the Latin American region. The objective is to enhance connectivity and network capabilities, demonstrating the commitment of these companies to drive advancements in optical LAN solutions through strategic partnerships in the network-as-a-service market.
