Zero-touch Provisioning Market Size, Share, and COVID Impact Analysis, By Component (Platform, Services), By Device (Routers, Switches, Access Points, Firewalls, IoT Devices), By End User (IT & Telecommunications, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Retail, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) is a network switch feature that automates the configuration and provisioning of network hardware and applications when adding them to a network. It automates the process of advancing operating systems, installing patches, and fixing bugs, and speeds up the configuration of network switches.

Zero-touch automates and enhances certain aspects of the IoT network. It saves time, effort, and cost, and benefits industries that depend on IoT, including the oil and gas sector, factories, airports, and smart cities. Thus, integrating ZTP across IoT devices enables major industries to begin the slow and steady transition to automated systems, with rapid growth for the IoT market during the forecast period.

Moreover, deploying 5G and network slicing has generated the need for a radical change in the networks and services.  ZTP simplifies 4G to 5G services by upgrading projects by reducing schedules, deployment workloads, and costs. Additionally, it enables deployments based on easier infrastructure installations and connected configurations for concentrated time-to-market and accelerated 5G revenues. Thus, it creates more business opportunities for service providers to generate additional ROI. For instance,

• February 2023: Cisco partnered with T-Mobile to deploy Cisco Meraki's for businesses to create differentiated customer experiences using scalable, simplified and reliable network-managed services by T-Mobile's 5G network.

Impact of COVID-19 on Zero-touch Provisioning Market

The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected the world economy, which affected the roll-out and implementation of 5G infrastructure. Mobility and employment had restrained spending and affected many service industries such as transportation, education, travel, hotels, entertainment and consumer goods.

Remote working and distance education have enhanced the uptake of 5G services and the implementation of 5G networks. Thus, it created the demand for zero-touch provisioning for automating tasks like installation, configuration and software upgrades due to the rise in connected network devices and services.

Furthermore, zero-touch services or technology are expected to create substantial economic benefits for users or the market, with technological innovation to shorten the time and space between people or zero contact with objects in the economy.
