Next Generation Networking Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2025 - 2034
Market Report I 2025-02-24 I 170 Pages I Global Market Insights
The Global Next-Generation Networking Market was valued at USD 32.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% between 2025 and 2034. The market is witnessing a rapid transformation driven by the increasing reliance on cloud computing, cloud storage services, and the expansion of digital infrastructures worldwide. As businesses migrate their operations and data to the cloud, the need for advanced networking solutions that offer seamless connectivity, high bandwidth, and low latency is becoming more critical than ever. The growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G networks further fuels the demand as companies seek cutting-edge technologies to enhance operational efficiency and real-time data processing.
The shift toward software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) is reshaping the market landscape, enabling organizations to achieve greater flexibility, automation, and cost efficiency in managing their networks. Cybersecurity threats and regulatory compliance requirements are also pushing enterprises to upgrade their networking frameworks with robust security measures, ensuring data integrity and resilience. Additionally, the proliferation of smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and edge computing solutions is amplifying the demand for next-generation networking systems that can support complex, data-intensive applications.
The market is segmented into hardware, software, and services, with hardware accounting for the largest share. In 2024, the hardware segment held a 40% market share and is expected to reach USD 25 billion by 2034. Essential networking components such as routers, switches, servers, and network processors play a pivotal role in enabling high-performance infrastructure, particularly with the deployment of 5G, SDN, and NFV technologies. Businesses are prioritizing investments in scalable, high-speed networking equipment to meet evolving demands in cloud computing, enterprise data centers, and telecommunication networks.
Enterprise size also plays a significant role in market dynamics, with large enterprises leading adoption. In 2024, large enterprises dominated the next-generation networking market with a 71% share, leveraging their financial capabilities to implement advanced, secure networking solutions. These organizations rely on high-performance networks to support large-scale operations, workforce collaboration, and data-driven decision-making. Meanwhile, small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) are gradually increasing their investments in next-generation networking technologies, recognizing the need for scalable, cost-effective solutions to stay competitive.
North America held a 34% share of the global next-generation networking market in 2024, with the United States contributing USD 5.6 billion to the regional valuation. The presence of major telecom players, coupled with aggressive investments in 5G deployment and digital transformation initiatives, has positioned the region as a frontrunner in network innovation. The increasing demand for high-speed, low-latency connectivity across industries, including healthcare, finance, and manufacturing, continues to drive market growth. With a strong focus on next-gen wireless infrastructure and emerging networking technologies, North America is set to remain a key player in shaping the future of global networking solutions.
