    Restraint:

    The Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) market is subjected to various stringent government laws and regulations that hinder the growth of the market. The vendors failure to comply with certain standards and laws leads to major financial loss and business risks to the client. For instance, data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, regulate how businesses collect, use, and store personal data. The laws impact the design and operation of NaaS solutions, particularly concerning data privacy, data access, and data retention, and take strict actions against NaaS providers in an attempt to break the law.

    Opportunities:

    The increasing adoption of 5G technology is expected to create several future opportunities for Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) providers. 5G technology provides faster and more reliable connectivity compared to previous generations of wireless technology. The connectivity is projected to offer more sophisticated and bandwidth-intensive services, such as real-time video and voice communications, without sacrificing quality. Also, 5G technology is designed to support new use cases, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing.

For instance, in February 2023, the cybersecurity imperative released India\'s 5G vision with several facets of 5G providing built-in security - superior 256-bit encryption, cloud, and software-based infrastructure enabling better monitoring and threat detection.

    Network as a Service Market Segmentation:



    By Type:

    The type segment is bifurcated into Wide Area Network as a Service (WANaaS) and Local Area Network as a Service (LANaaS). The WANaaS segment dominates the market as more organizations have expanded the operations across multiple locations, and there is a greater demand for wide-area networking services to connect geographically dispersed sites. WANaaS provides a centralized platform to manage and connect the sites, making WANaaS a more attractive option for businesses with a dispersed footprint. Also, WANaaS providers offer service level agreements (SLAs) that guarantee high levels of performance and availability. The guarantee is important for businesses that require reliable and high-performing networks to support the operations. For instance, in February 2021, Verizon Business announced a strategic partnership with Cisco, with the addition of three new SD-WAN, managed services offerings. The expansion seeks to provide enterprise businesses with an extensive global footprint, access to new solutions and capabilities, as well as a management and policy administration model to support the desired business outcomes.

    The Local Area Network as a Service (LANaaS) is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR in the future due to the rise of edge computing, which involves processing data at the network edge rather than in centralized data centers, has led to a greater demand for localized network infrastructure. LANaaS provide businesses with the necessary networking capabilities at the edge, making LANaaS a more attractive option for companies pursuing edge computing strategies. For instance, in February 2022, Parallel Technologies, Inc. stated that LAN infrastructure and cloud computing solutions give a boost to retailers. LAN infrastructure also allows retailers to reduce spending associated with software and hardware development, maintenance, and staffing and deliver products and services at speed while monitoring data performance in real-time.

    By Enterprise Size:

    The enterprise size is segmented into large and small & medium enterprises. The large enterprise segment dominates and holds the maximum market share as large organizations have complex networking needs, with multiple sites, large numbers of users, and high bandwidth requirements. NaaS provides large enterprises with a range of networking services, including WANaaS and LANaaS, to help large organizations manage the network infrastructure more efficiently and cost-effectively. Large enterprises also have more resources and expertise in-house to manage the network infrastructure, hence becoming a good fit for more complex NaaS solutions.

For instance, in June 2021, Cisco completed the acquisition of Kenna Security to help customers identify threats faster, improve collaboration between security and IT teams and reduce the attack surface.

    Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are expected to register the fastest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next few years. NaaS providers offer SMEs a range of managed network services, such as network monitoring, security, and optimization, to improve network performance and reduce operational costs. The growing demand for managed services is expected to drive the growth of NaaS solutions among SMEs during the forecast period. Also, NaaS provides SMEs with a scalable network infrastructure that will grow and adapt as the business needs change, without requiring significant capital expenditures. Scalability helps SMEs to stay competitive and respond to changing market conditions.

    By Application:

    The application segment is classified into Virtualized Private Networks (VPN), Wide Area Networks (WAN), Cloud & SaaS Connectivity, Bandwidth on Demand (BOD), UCaaS/Video Conferencing, and others. Cloud & SaaS connectivity dominates the market as NaaS is used in businesses to provide a more secure and reliable connection than using the public internet. NaaS is also used to improve network performance and reduce latency for SaaS applications, which is especially important for real-time applications like video conferencing and voice-over IP (VoIP). For instance, according to 2022, IDG cloud computing survey, a majority of IT decision-makers (60%) believe that the adoption of cloud capabilities has contributed to the sustainable growth of the organizations.

    The Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) segment is anticipated to witness a CAGR during the forecast period, as businesses need to quickly increase the network bandwidth in the event of a disaster to ensure that critical applications and services continue to function. With NaaS and bandwidth on demand, businesses quickly provision additional bandwidth to support disaster recovery efforts. For instance, in September 2022, TeleGeography found that the global internet bandwidth increased by 28% in 2022 and almost reached the threshold of 1Pbps, specifically measuring at 997Tbps. Geographically, Africa recorded the highest CAGR between 2018 and 2022 in international internet bandwidth, at 44%, while Asia followed with a CAGR of 35% for the same period.
