The global network slicing market was valued at USD 759.0 million in 2023. The market is projected to be worth USD 1,126.5 million in 2024 and reach USD 23,198.1 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 46.0% during the forecast period (2024-2032).


Network slicing is a method of producing multiple virtualized and logical networks over a shared multi-domain structure. With Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), automation, analytics, and orchestration, mobile network operators can speedily produce network slices to aid a group of users, specific applications, services, or networks. This platform allows a single network to provide various services based on the user's necessities. In addition, it aids network operators in minimizing capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX), along with enhanced functioning efficiency for the delivery of network services.


Increasing adoption of 5G-enabled network slicing in multiple sectors, such as BFSI, retail, healthcare, and e-commerce, is also contributing positively to market growth. In addition, organizations and businesses can cost-effectively customize networks managed by service-level agreements to meet their specific needs. Network function management (NFV), analytics, orchestration, software-defined networking (SDN), and automation enable the creation of network slices that support specific services, applications, or user groups. It also allows efficient use and management of services, maximizing return on investment (ROI).  Each slice has its management, architecture, and security to support specific use cases. It can span multiple network domains, such as core, transport, and access provided by numerous carriers. Use cases include enhanced mobile broadband, large-scale machine-like communications, and ultra-reliable low-latency communications. These use cases enable video-centric applications and require MNOs to have mobile edge computing power and generate less traffic.


The COVID-19 pandemic increased the demand for broadband services with the support of rising mobile networking and remote access services in the telecom, IT, healthcare, and retail industries. As organizations have initiated to reopen, communications service suppliers are focusing on 5G rollouts and increasing investments in this platform.

Network Slicing Market Growth Factors


Increasing Demand for Next-generation 5G Networks and Proliferation of SDN and NFV to Drive Market Growth


5G networks have improved bandwidth and speed compared to previous mobile networks. It also allows for the creation of virtual networks, which can be customized to meet specific needs for latency, security, bandwidth, reliability, service levels, and coverage. Hence, this platform is expected to play a key role in the 5G market growth.


Furthermore, SDN and NFV technologies automate modern networks through software. They are driving the digital transformation of network infrastructure across the telecommunications industry. NFV virtualized network functions such as routing, load balancing, and firewalls. SDN allows network administrators to provide services across hardware components. NFV and SDN are necessary for network slicing and make it possible for networks to be quickly and easily configured to meet the needs of various applications and services.


Hence, the factors mentioned above are expected to propel the market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Security Breaches Leading to Massive Operational and Financial Loss to Hamper the Market Growth


CIOs are largely concerned with network slicing security, which can lead to a huge loss for service providers and businesses. Further, the new network infrastructure has been designed with the help of NFV, SDN, and cloud-native architecture. These network functions are disaggregated from infrastructure and placed across regional, local, and central data centers. Moreover, in a cloud-driven 5G network, most network functions are deployed over private and public cloud infrastructure. However, the security issues associated with the solution hampered the market growth.
