- SDN Via API
SDN Via Overlay segment is anticipated to have the fastest growth during the projected period. Overlaying an SDN network or network component on top of existing infrastructure creates a conceptually independent network or network component. By splitting bandwidth into channels and dedicating each channel to a specific device or service, the overlay optimizes network resources.
Insight by End User
- Retail
- Telecom And IT
- Education
- Manufacturing
- BFSI
- Government & Defense
- Healthcare
- Others
The telecom service providers' active efforts to overcome the traditional network's difficulties and increasing development of Open Source SDN are creating a slew of new opportunities for the software defined networking sector. Telecom service providers have been on the lookout for innovative technologies that are the result of the open source community's and industry's combined efforts. They've been putting Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV), OpenStack/KFV ecosystem, Open Network Operating System (ONOS), and OpenDaylight technologies to the test. These efforts promote the use of next-generation networking technologies such as SDN to improve the efficiency, flexibility, scalability, and programmability of telecom networks.

Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Surge in Demand for Enterprise Mobility will Drive Growth in Software Developed Networking market
The increased demand for enterprise mobility to augment productivity for field-based services will drive the growth of Software Defined Networking market. Since the bulk of the world's population uses mobile devices, Mobile network operators (MNOs) and cloud service providers have been gaining a growing subscriber base owing to the mass population adopting mobile devices. This tendency is especially noticeable in emerging markets, where mobile phones, tablets, and mobility-based technologies, are in great demand. Service providers must ensure that their network can handle the growing number of customers which can be made possible by SDN. As a result, the growing necessity and desire for mobility are the primary driving drivers behind the industry's expansion.
Other factors attributing to the growth of the Software Defined Networking market include increased investment of CSPs to automate network infrastructure, and a substantial reduction in CAPEX and OPEX will fuel the growth of the SDN industry.
Challenges
Lack of Standards for Full Device Control may Stymie Market Expansion for SDN Industry
The adoption of SDN technology is hampered by a lack of standards for full device control. In the SDN industry, the OpenFlow framework is the most widely used standard. A unidirectional forwarding table update mechanism is included in the framework, which determines the condition of linked devices. The OpenFlow framework, on the other hand, is incapable of performing a basic device configuration, restricting its interoperability with a variety of existing traditional networking technologies. Furthermore, the SDN market's ability to give full device control, which is a requirement for most networking systems, is limiting its expansion.
The dearth of skilled expertise, increased complexity and reliability concerns of SDN architecture, mounting difficulties to transition from traditional network to SDN are some of the other challenges faced by software defined networking market.
Opportunities
Advent of Cloud Computing Technologies will Create Promising Opportunities
The increased adoption of cloud computing platforms is encouraging enterprises to shift from traditional network architecture. Traditional network designs are often hierarchical and based on tiers of Ethernet switches. The traditional networking frameworks were not built to manage the dynamic computation and storage requirements of today's enterprise networks. As a result, businesses have been pushed to embrace new and complex networking technologies such as SDN. SDN solutions include a dynamic and flexible network architecture that can adapt to changing business, end-user, and market demands, thereby propelling market opportunities for the SDN industry.
