Market Overview

Network as a service (NaaS) is a cloud service model for delivering enterprise-wide area network services virtually on a subscription basis. NaaS allows companies to manage their own networks. Networking activities are controlled by software via NaaS providers, just like other cloud services, thereby allowing organizations to design their own networks entirely without hardware. Customers only need to have Internet connectivity. It allows companies to set up the market for networks as a service that has been severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic epidemic. As the trend toward remote work started throughout time, the demand for networking equipment and connection rose. People's limited freedom of mobility and increased internet surfing time both contributed to the market's rapid expansion.

The global Network as a Service Market is expected to witness a rapid CAGR of ~30% during the forecast period (2022-2028), and reaching revenue of ~US$ 50 Bn by 2028, due to an increase in investment in advanced technology and collaboration in a cloud computing network.

• The CISCO Global Cloud Index estimated that in 2021, cloud data centers would have likely processed ~90% of all workloads and computing instances, and the remaining processed by traditional data centers. As the information and applications hosted by the cloud are evenly distributed across all the servers, which are connected to work as one. Therefore, if one server fails, no data is lost and downtime is avoided. The cloud also offers more storage space and server resources, including better computing power. This means your software and applications will perform faster.

Traditional IT systems are not so resilient and cannot guarantee a consistently high level of server performance. They have limited capacity and are susceptible to downtime, which can greatly hinder workplace productivity.

• The high cost of implementation may create problems for the NaaS service provider as vendors may find it challenging in maintain and protect technology.
• Since the COVID-19 outbreak, businesses have adopted the remote working concept, which has considerably raised the need for cloud-based solutions.
• However, in 2020, sales declined significantly for a variety of industries, including manufacturing, BFSI, retail, and others. Due to the rising popularity of remote working, businesses are increasing their investments in edge computing, cloud-based analytics and assurance, and AI-powered networking solutions. It's expected that this would lead to an increase in the NaaS market.
