Network Monitoring Global Market Report 2024

The network monitoring market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.68 billion in 2023 to $2.91 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to the rise in the complexity of network environments, growing concerns about cybersecurity, increased emphasis on performance optimization, compliance and regulatory requirements, and the expanding scale of IT infrastructure.

The network monitoring market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.21 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. Forecasted growth is driven by the rise in cloud-based network deployments, increasing emphasis on Application Performance Monitoring (APM), integration with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), emergence of edge computing networks, and a focus on network automation. Major trends include hybrid and multi-cloud network monitoring, end-user experience monitoring, collaboration with network security solutions, integration of 5G monitoring, and adherence to data privacy regulations.

The increasing preference for Software as a Service (SaaS)-based network monitoring solutions is poised to propel the growth of the network monitoring market. SaaS is a software distribution model where cloud providers host programs, making them accessible to customers online. SaaS network monitoring enhances visibility, awareness, and issue-handling capacity without relying on a service provider's help desk, providing real-time data directly from the user's browser. This cloud-based SaaS infrastructure monitoring service involves the gathering, storage, and analysis of network performance monitoring data in a SaaS repository, departing from the traditional use of physical or virtual appliances. As indicated in the 2021 State of SaaSOps Report shared by BetterCloud, a US-based independent software vendor, the adoption of SaaS continued to grow. In 2021, organizations, on average, utilized 110 apps, up from 80 apps the previous year, reflecting a 38% increase. SaaS app consumption has seen a remarkable surge, exceeding seven times since 2017 and nearly 14 times since 2015. Consequently, the increasing popularity of SaaS-based network monitoring solutions is a driving force behind the growing 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 stand out as a key and evolving trend in the network monitoring market. Leading companies within this sector are actively focused on the development of new technological solutions to enhance their positions in the market. A case in point is Netscout, a US-based provider of cybersecurity, service assurance, and business analytics solutions, which introduced nGeniusONE in July 2021. nGeniusONE is a smart edge network monitoring platform designed to provide end-user insights. Offering comprehensive visibility into infrastructure, dependencies, and applications, nGeniusONE serves as a robust platform for monitoring and service assurance. The platform enables continuous monitoring and analysis of network traffic data, utilizing adaptive service intelligence technology. This innovative approach integrates artificial transaction testing with smart data analytics, delivering end-user support and visibility. Notably, this information can be obtained for any network or application, regardless of the user's location, underscoring the industry's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technologies for improved network monitoring capabilities and enhanced user experiences.

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 December 2021, Broadcom Inc., a leading U.S.-based provider of semiconductor and infrastructure software products, completed the acquisition of AppNeta for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is poised to enhance Broadcom's capabilities in network performance monitoring for internet and hybrid cloud-based applications. AppNeta, a U.S.-based Software as a Service (SaaS) company specializing in network performance monitoring solutions, now forms an integral part of Broadcom's portfolio, reinforcing its position in the industry.
