The Managed Network Services Market size is expected to register an significant CAGR of ~10% during the forecast period and is projected to reach a market value of USD 134.7 billion by 2030. Managed network services are networking applications, operations, and services that businesses contract to a managed service provider (MSP) to be remotely run, monitored, and maintained. Basic network access and transport services, such as classic leased WAN and LAN lines, to modern software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) connections and virtual network services, are all part of managed network services.
Aside from network access and transport, managed services such as WAN optimization, unified messaging, network management, Managed security services and virtual private networks (VPNs) are also accessible.

Managed enterprise network services are typically hosted by MSPs in their own data centres and facilities, where they can also host virtual network activities. Small specialist service providers to huge traditional national and global telecommunications carriers are all MSPs. MSPs generally provide clients with service-level agreements (SLAs), which are contractual agreements that detail the performance and quality standards under which the managed service will be supplied.
Managed service providers are necessary for businesses since they reduce risk. Instead than outsourcing IT just when an issue arises, managed services allow for continuous network monitoring. A managed service provider also handles all upgrading and maintenance responsibilities. This frees up managers' time to focus on their companies rather than the company's IT. In addition, a prospective managed service provider should assess present and future IT requirements. The firm provides recommendations for the types of goods and services that a company should employ in the coming year.
While no one could have foreseen COVID-19, established corporate structures were already suffering the strains of a changing job market. As management teams attempt to utilise new technology and enhance efficiency measures, cost reduction is a top concern. Non-core but board-critical services such as tax, compliance, risk, and finance are expected to improve their effectiveness without adding any more resources. Managing regulatory duties has become more difficult and expensive as regulations change more often across various countries and regulators expect more openness. As businesses begin to plan for the future, these lessons demonstrate that returning to "normal" is simply not an option. Surviving and flourishing in a post-pandemic environment will almost always need complete corporate transformation — either to fix vulnerabilities, get access to new possibilities, or do both.
Managed services goes beyond BPO to make important tasks more efficient and productive by using providers' core subject expertise and technology investments. Managed services are the way to reinvention for many firms. Prior to COVID-19, a growing number of companies were considering switching to a managed services operating model, but the option is now firmly front and centre on many boardroom agendas due to its ability to enable rebuilding confidence, reshaping spending, improving agility, and accelerating digital transformation.
The growth of the managed network services market is mainly driven by the increasing need to minimize capital expenditure and operational expenditure, increasing trends of digital transformation and the software-baseed network boosts for enterprises. Moreover, the growing demand for managed network service providers in SMEs, growing IP traffic and cloud traffic and ability of managed service providers to solve complexity issues associated with SD-WANs presents lucrative opportunities for market growth. However, the growing concerns over data security and privacy coupled with increasing compliances and regulations across different verticals may slow the growth of the managed network services market during the forecast period.
Managed Network Services (MNS) encourages companies to forgo CAPEX in favour of predictable operating expenditure (OPEX) models. Customers save the cost of acquiring their own applications with particular monitoring capabilities, as well as the knowledge necessary to manage the tools and procedures required, by using MNS. For managed network services, businesses often sign an annual or multi-year service contract with an MSP. The type of service, speed, interfaces, regions, number of locations, and amount of managed assistance supplied can all influence pricing.
When you hire an MSP, you're relying on them to stick to service level agreements (SLAs) and complete tasks as promised. You may be left with severe downtime if they do not keep their half of the bargain. One may also be unable to obtain system information if managed service providers utilise proprietary tools to manage and monitor infrastructure. This limits your capacity to keep informed about the present health of your infrastructure, making it harder to switch suppliers or take over maintenance if necessary.
Managed network services provide SMEs a lot of room to expand and achieve their objectives. IT spending among SMEs is expected to rise dramatically, indicating that SMEs are always under pressure to expand by implementing new and expanded IT services. As SMEs adopt cloud, automate services, and explore sophisticated digital technologies, the demand for MSPs will grow. Smaller organisations have benefited from managed network services that are both cost-effective and efficient thanks to these technologies.
