Surge in Adoption of Cloud Services among Enterprises to Drive Market Growth


The growing adoption of cloud services among enterprises provides numerous advantages for Network as a Service. Cloud services provide a highly flexible infrastructure that easily accommodates organizations' evolving needs. NaaS leverages this scalability by offering adaptable network resources that can be adjusted based on demand, enabling enterprises to scale their network capabilities without significant investments in hardware or infrastructure upgrades.


Additionally, implementing cloud services is a crucial backbone for businesses in the U.S. It is a cost-effective approach, supporting several functions, including data storage, databases, servers, and networking software. It is an essential tool enabling businesses to operate effectively and efficiently. For instance,





    • In 2022, according to a report by Zippia, Inc., a provider of online recruitment services, 94 percent of enterprises in the U.S. implemented cloud services, 67 percent of enterprises' infrastructure is cloud-based, and 92% of enterprises have a multi-cloud strategy. This factor is expected to expand the U.S. network as a service market share over the forecast period.




The cost efficiency of cloud services to NaaS enables organizations to pay only for the network services they consume, avoiding upfront capital and expense and reducing operational costs. This pay-as-you-go model enables better resource allocation and budget optimization.


NETWORK AS A SERVICE MARKET GROWTH FACTORS


Increasing Need for Wireless Communication for Industrial and Commercial Operations to Surge the Demand for Network as a Service


The increasing need for wireless communication in industrial and commercial operations drives the demand for network as a service. As industries and businesses are interconnected and reliant on real-time data exchange, wireless communication is crucial in enabling efficient operations and seamless connectivity. NaaS offers a comprehensive solution by providing wireless networking infrastructure and services that cater to these demands.


In the industrial sector, wireless communication enables machine-to-machine communication, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, and automation. Manufacturing, logistics, and utilities require reliable and secure wireless networks to facilitate real-time monitoring, control systems, asset tracking, and remote operations. NaaS offers a robust wireless network infrastructure, ensuring seamless connectivity across various industrial environments and supporting the growing demand for wireless communication in industrial operations.


Furthermore, businesses increasingly rely on wireless communication for various operations in the commercial sector. Wireless networks enable flexible mobile connectivity for employees, customers, and devices in the retail, hospitality, healthcare, and transportation industries. NaaS provides businesses with wireless networking solutions supporting high-capacity data transmission, secure wireless access, and seamless mobility.


Additionally, Network as a service caters to the dynamic nature of wireless communication requirements in industrial and commercial settings, allowing organizations to scale their wireless networks based on evolving needs such as expanding coverage, increasing capacity, or integrating new technologies. Thus, the rising need for wireless communication in industrial and commercial operations fuels the demand for networks as a service.  


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Lack of Standardization and Complex Deployment Procedures to Impede Market Growth


The complex deployment procedures involved in NaaS, such as API-based operation, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and hybrid cloud distribution, pose challenges and increase organizations’ operational costs.


The global shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals creates difficulties in delivering reliable and secure NaaS services to organizations, negatively impacting the market growth. Additionally, the lack of standardization within the sector leads to inconsistencies and difficulties when integrating different NaaS solutions, disturbing seamless business operations.


Further, organizations providing NaaS services must comply with specific regulations and legislation, which is difficult to navigate and maintain.


Hence, the above mentioned factors are expected to hinder the market during the forecast period.
