Network as a Service Market Trends

Mission-critical business applications require high dependability and security is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for Network as a Service is growing due to security issues. NaaS is a straightforward and efficient network service paradigm enabling companies to manage their network infrastructure easily. Businesses benefit from having dependable and powerful network infrastructure management security. Network providers (NaaS) provide a wide range of network security services, such as secure web gateway, secure DHCP/IPAM/DDI/Domain Name System (DNS)/DDI/DDI, DDoS protection, and zero-trust network access.

The epidemic has forced businesses to implement remote work options for their employees and migrate workloads to the cloud. As a result, the need for network security has skyrocketed in order to protect networks from online attacks. With TLS protocols like IPSec, SSL, and Wireguard, traffic is routed through a tunnel with strong encryption as part of NaaS's comprehensive network infrastructure protection.

Large, small, and medium-sized businesses increasingly demonstrate a significant need in the NaaS market for networking technology to support remote workers. The industry's growing economic market potential is due to the shift towards subscription-based payment methods, on-demand network services, and cheaper capital expenditure. Using the internet, the network as a service (NaaS) is delivered through the cloud-based business model. Wide Area Networking (WAN), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Bandwidth on Demand (BoD), custom routing, content monitoring and filtering, multicast protocols, security services, and other applications are just a few of the additional and versatile services that NaaS provides.

Some end-user industry companies are also implementing networks as a service to automate their business operations in the healthcare, manufacturing, and retail sectors. For instance, In February 2021, The long-standing strategic partnership between Verizon Business and Cisco System, Inc. has expanded to provide three SD-WAN-managed service choices. Corporate firms benefit from this growth by gaining a worldwide footprint, access to fresh ideas and expertise, and a cutting-edge management and policy administration strategy to enhance organizational results. Thus, driving the Network as a Service market revenue.
