Software-Defined Networking Market Segmentation:
Solution Type Segment Analysis
The software segment is projected to capture 39.5% of the global SDN market share through 2034. The SDN controllers are most sought-after due to increasing automation and virtualization requirements across enterprise and telecom networks. The public-oriented initiatives in the form of incentives and funding are expected to boost the sales of software solutions. the National Science Foundation's (NSF) USD 85.5 million investment in programmable networking is leading to the development of innovative SDN software ecosystems.
End user Segment Analysis
The telecom service providers are estimated to account for 37.9% of the global software-defined networking market share throughout the forecast period. Massive 5G rollouts, edge computing, and Open RAN initiatives are amplifying the adoption of SDN in the telecom sector. The International Trade Union’s 2024 Network Infrastructure Outlook reveals that SDN is vital to dynamic spectrum allocation and traffic rerouting in real-time 5G core systems. This is expected to directly boost the sales of software-defined networking solutions.
