Enterprise Networking Market Worth USD 64.63 Billion By 2024

Enterprise Networking Market Growth & Trends

The global enterprise networking market is expected to reach USD 64.63 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing adoption of virtualization technologies by organizations to reduce the storage infrastructure costs is expected to offer lucrative opportunities to the market over the forecast period.

The growing popularity of wireless equipment and strong demand for internet-enabled devices is expected to drive revenue growth. Enterprises are favoring the advanced technologies and features such as 100G Ethernet switches and the adoption of 802.11 ac standards.

Additionally, the proliferation of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and expanding the mobile workforce is expected to augment industry growth. The BYOD trend epitomizing the concept of any device used anywhere is fuelling the need for invasive wireless networks and mission-critical mobility applications.

Growing IT infrastructure and increasing demand from economies such as India, Japan, and China are expected to fuel enterprise networking market growth. Rising bandwidth requirements and accelerating shift towards wireless systems are also projected to boost demand over the forecast period. However, rising security concerns and difficulty in managing complex networks is expected to hamper growth.

The shift towards Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has had a considerable impact on the router and switch market. The switch manufacturers are making their hardware more accessible through Application Program Interface (API) which exposes their configurable elements. This transition in design offers flexible and application-driven customization of network infrastructure.

Moreover, small and medium-sized businesses are expected to continue investing in the networking market to make provisions for technological changes and to support their expansion goals. Government initiatives in developing economies are aiming at building smart cities, reducing the digital divide, and improving financial inclusions are expected to augment the demand for the enterprise networking market.
