The prominence of the 4G network, MPLs, and LTE is set to foster market growth. In addition, the rapid shift of organizations towards cloud-based applications is pushing the demand for cloud-based platforms as they offer a cost-effective way to manage network assets. Enterprises are moving their business-critical applications to externally managed network infrastructure, which has increased the uptake of SD-WAN solutions to meet rapidly evolving cloud-based demands.
 

Government agencies of various developed countries are also integrating software-defined wide area networks owing to significant digitalization and network modernization in local areas. For Instance, Shared Services Canada (SSC) is aiding the government of Canada in connecting government buildings with government data centers, cloud, and data centers using SD-WAN and allowing SSC to separate departmental networks on the same physical network infrastructure.
 

Rising data security concerns may impede industry progression

Concerns related to data security are restraining the software-defined wide area network market growth. Network security is considered the biggest drawback when choosing an SD-WAN solution. Security solutions are vital for protecting the integrity, reliability, resilience, quality, availability, and privacy of all connected resources and information. Nonetheless, the burgeoning use of AI with machine learning is poised to encourage product penetration and help manufacturers overcome this issue.
 

Minimizing effects of fragmented technologies to bolster SD-WAN services demand

The service segment surpassed USD 1 billion valuation in 2022. Organizations rely on system integrators to install and incorporate SD-WAN into their existing WAN infrastructure. Fragmented technologies can jeopardize operations’ visibility, leading to high costs and poor utilization of resources, which is likely to accelerate the market size expansion for SD-WAN services.
 

Premium network experiences helping training & consulting services to gain traction

The software-defined wide area network market from the training & consulting services is foreseen to expand at around 70% gains up to 2032. Ongoing efforts by organizations to encourage the use of SD-WAN solutions to simplify network management and deliver premium network experiences at low costs are promoting the adoption of training & consulting services to allow customers to effectively deploy SD-WAN solutions. Training and consultation services providers are focused on improving the ability of customers to utilize SD-WAN solutions effectively to meet their business objectives.
 

Ability to manage various cloud systems to favor the hybrid deployment model

The hybrid deployment model is primed to progress at nearly 75% growth rate between 2023 and 2032. This growth is attributed to its capacity to enable enterprises to deploy on-premises cloud to host critical workloads and third-party public cloud to host less-critical resources. Furthermore, widespread utilization by large organizations to gain the flexibility and scalability of the public clouds benefits the hybrid deployment model of SD-WAN.
