Data Center Networking Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Component (Products, Services) By Industry (BFSI, IT & Telecommunication, Healthcare, Retail, Education, Government, Media & Entertainment, Manufacturing, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

In today’s intelligent era, data centers are facing unprecedent challenges which are difficult to manage through traditional operation and management methods. Also, increasing service traffics, growing data silos, and underulization of data are some of the challenges faced by the data center opeartors. Data center networking (DCN) technology minimizes risk, cost, and complexity in multi-cloud environments. It simplifies the model, improves efficiency, and delivers a high-performance network. Growing usage of mobile and computing devices generates a massive amount of data that has propelled the need for data center networking for efficient data and operation management. The capability to deliver high performance and low latency features for dynamic and effective automation is driving the DCN adoption. Massive adoption of data center infrastructure across several industries is the key factor that drives the market growth. Also, trends like virtualization, consolidation, and cloud computing have significant implications on market growth. Further, growing cyberattacks are demanding a highly secure data center infrastructure, which boosts the DCN demand.  

Network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined network (SDN) technologies become preferable over traditional data center networks owing to their affordability and compatibility. IT and telecommunication sector is rapidly moving towards these alternatives as they are easy to handle, upgrade, and modify. Moreover, in the fast pacing business landscape, organizations are shifting to the advanced service delivery models. These advanced business service models are demanding dynamic, secure, and flexible data center infrastructure. Thus, businesses are promoting data center networking demand to improve their service delivery models.

Regional Analysis:

North America is expecting to emerge as a dominant region in the global data center networking market. This dominance is attributed to the rapidly developing data center infrastructure across the region. The rising demand for on-demand services, and efficient use of storage devices is likely to accelerate market growth. Massive adoption of virtualization, cloud computing technology, and efficient storage systems are further stimulating the demand for data center networking across the region. Apart from this, growing cyberattacks are escalating the demand for highly secure data center. The growing penetration of software defined networking and 5G technology has escalated the demand for SDN-based, 5G oriented data center networking in North America.

In Europe, increasing usage of mobile devices is resulting in the massive generation of data, which drives the need for an efficient data management system. Europe is showcasing significant development in cloud computing technology. As per the report published by ‘Tech UK’ in July 2019, cloud services adoption had risen in the United Kingdom during 2016-2018 from 36% to 41.9%. The progressive adoption of cloud computing technology among European nations is expected to drive the demand for cloud data center networking in the coming years. 

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to fuel the data center networking market owing to the ongoing rapid digitalization. The demand is further accelerated by the growing adoption of storage, server, and networking infrastructure. Increasing acceptance of cloud computing is probable to drive the demand for DCN across Asia-pacific.
