Network Slicing Market Snapshot
The network slicing market size is projected to grow from USD 105.74 million in 2019 to USD 0.98 Billion by 2030, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.03% during the forecast period.
Network slicing technology supports multiple logical networks for different services type over one common network infrastructure. The evolution of 5G technology is expected to be one of the key drivers for the network slicing market. As 5G technology scales, network slicing is going to be one of the major 5G deployment models. Service providers are looking to maximize their RoI by targeting innovative and high revenue-generating network slicing applications such as cloud gaming, smart healthcare, and IoT applications. Network slicing among 5G networks will permit business customers to attain high connectivity and data processing speeds tailored to their specific requirements. Network slicing is considered to be the most integrated solution for unlocking opportunities among enterprises in the 5G era.
A network slice is an end-to-end logical network that runs on shared physical infrastructure, capable of providing high service quality. A network slice comprises a dedicated server and shared resources in terms of processing power, storage and bandwidth and has isolation from other network slices.
The major factors driving the growth of the network slicing market includethe advancements in the 5G technology, increasing demand for high-speed network coverage across various market segments and the integration of software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV). The ability to improve operational efficiencies and time to market for delivering 5G networks across different verticals and reduce expenses & capital expenditure among network operators provide opportunities in the network slicing market. However, the security breaches while allowing resource sharing among multiple networks and proper optimization of resource usage in a network slice arefactors hindering the market growth.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread concern and economic hardships for consumers, businesses, and communities worldwide. The outbreak has significantly pushed demand for broadband services with high-speed connectivity as people across the globe are coping with remote working and online education. As the pandemic restrictions are easing and several economies around the world are coming out of an extensive lockdown period, businesses around the globe have started to reopen, and communication service providers have shifted their focus to a faster 5G network rollout and have accelerated investments in network slicing solutions. The use cases post covid-19 such as remote office, e-health services, remote education are expected to further boost the network slicing market growth.

Industry Developments
On Apr. 06, 2023, WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc., a leading global provider of Hologram Augmented Reality, announced the development of a new network slicing management system at the RAN (radio access network) side centered on artificial intelligence. WiMi develops an AI-enabled RAN-side network slicing management system for smart decision-making. The system uses network function virtualization (NFV) technology to instantiate multiple virtual networks on the same physical network infrastructure.
On Mar. 29, 2023, Nokia announced its plan to deploy transport network slicing for DoCoMo's 5G network. Docomo has deployed Nokia's 7750 SR-14s core routers to enhance its nationwide IP core and enable transport network slicing as it initiates new 5G mobile services. To deliver the network slicing for its innovative mobile services, DoCoMo will leverage the segment routing capabilities of Nokia's Service Router Operating System (SR OS) for traffic-engineered network slices for the granular SLAs required by DoCoMo's customers.
On Feb. 07, 2023, Ericsson, Far EasTone Telecommunications, and Taiwanese TV and multimedia company TVBS announced a collaboration to run 5G network slicing for marathon broadcasts in Taiwan. To ensure a significant viewing experience of the competition, companies used 5G network slicing to transmit live streaming data of the 21st New Taipei City Wan Jin Shi Marathon. Far EasTone uses network-slicing technology in the crime-fighting realm for a 5G smart patrol police car. Â
On Jan.20, 2023, Samsung Electronics and KDDI announced that they have combined their technical expertise to demonstrate network slicing with RIC on a live 5G SA network. The successful demonstration of SLA (Service Level Agreements) ensures network slicing in a field trial conducted in Tokyo, Japan. The companies proved their capabilities to generate multiple network slices using a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) on a live commercial 5G Standalone (SA) network.Â
