The increasing demand for network management solutions that can support the digital transformation initiatives of organizations is propelling market growth. Companies invest heavily in digital technologies to improve business operations and deliver better customer experiences. Network as a service solution plays a crucial role in enabling the seamless integration of these technologies into the existing IT infrastructure. Thus, the expanding IT infrastructure will positively impact the growth of the regional network as a service market during the forecast period.
The market is driven by providers like Verizon, Lumen, and Comcast Business, offering solutions for the hybrid working model. It supports enterprise IT needs with project management and organizational resources. NaaS facilitates remote monitoring and enhances project operations in various sectors including engineering and construction. Providers like SingTel Cloud offer NaaS in IT and other service sectors through a subscription model. It optimizes IT operations through operational automation while managing cost structure and mitigating operational risks.
The market is on the rise due to the growing adoption of cloud services by businesses. This is driven by increased technology use and a rising preference for cloud-based solutions, which offer easy remote data access. Enterprises, both large and small, are indeed recognizing the cost-saving benefits of transitioning their data to the cloud instead of maintaining on-premise infrastructure. This transition often involves operational automation to streamline processes, optimize cost structures, and allocate organizational resources more efficiently, leading to improved project operations.
In 2022, over 60% of corporate data was already in the cloud, and this trend is expected to continue as companies prioritize security, reliability, and business agility. Key sectors like banking are expected to increasingly embrace cloud-based services, boosting the NaaS market's growth in the forecast period.
Increasing inclination toward cloud technology is the primary trend in the market growth. Increasing investments and vendor collaborations in cloud computing, software-defined networking (SDN), and network virtualization by major vendors are driving the growth of the market. For instance, in March 2021, SDx Networks and Masergy Communications Inc. came into a partnership to launch the next generation of ICT-managed service providers in Australia. This partnership offers cloud networking in Asia Pacific, New Zealand, and Australia. Large corporations and SMEs are progressively adopting cloud-based services as they are more cost-effective than keeping an on-premises data center and a costly IT resource to manage the whole network of an organization. Businesses need networks that can access their applications, infrastructure, and other IT resources when they need them.
As such, the adoption of virtual frameworks for sharing resources is widespread. Organizations use networks as service components to transform physical network elements into sharable virtual resources for their data center connectivity needs. Most companies are looking to centralize operations and combine data from different locations in multi-tenant facilities. As a result, organizations are moving to cloud-based platforms for their operations. Hence, the increasing trend toward cloud technology will have a positive impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The rising complexity of modern networks is a major challenge to the growth of the market. As networks grow larger, more diverse, and more distributed, they become more difficult to manage and monitor. This calls for more advanced network service solutions that provide greater network visibility and control. Modern networks generate vast amounts of data, including network traffic, device configurations, and performance metrics. Network as a Service must be able to process and analyze this data to identify problems and ensure optimal network performance. With the advent of IoT, there are many devices and endpoints to manage your network.
These devices have different configurations, protocols, and security requirements, making network management more complicated. This creates a constantly changing network topology that requires continuous monitoring and management, which makes it challenging to manage the networks. Cloud-based infrastructure is becoming more common and can be more difficult to manage than traditional on-premises infrastructure. Network as a service must be able to monitor and manage cloud-based resources and on-premises resources. Thus, the increasing complexity of modern networks may restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period.
