簡介目錄

軟體定義網路 (SDN) 市場預計將從 2025 年的 354.7 億美元成長到 2026 年的 425.8 億美元,然後在 2031 年達到 1061.1 億美元,2026 年至 2031 年的複合年成長率為 20.04%。

軟體定義網路市場-IMG1

本報告按元件(SDN 基礎架構、SDN 軟體/控制器等)、部署模式(本地部署和雲端部署)、企業規模(大型企業和中小企業)、應用程式(資料中心和雲端、企業園區等)、最終用戶(電信和雲端服務供應商、銀行、金融服務和保險機構等)以及地區進行細分。市場預測以美元計價。

全球軟體定義網路 (SDN) 市場趨勢與洞察

增加網路基礎設施自動化的投資

企業和政府機構正將資本投資轉向可程式架構,以減少手動配置所需的時間。美國國防部在2025財政年度撥款13.55億美元用於網路相關的研發、測試和評估(RDT&E)項目,重點關注邊緣運算和協作流程。英特爾網路邊緣事業部累計,其基礎設施處理單元(IPU)支援人工智慧乙太網路卡和自治網路,2024年第二季營收達13億美元。實地研究表明,利用軟體定義網路(SDN)實現自動化可以將營運成本降低高達40%,並將服務部署速度提高60%。金融服務業的一個團隊也印證了這個趨勢,他們在2024年GitHub上提交的基於Python的網路自動化工具代碼數量增加了26%。這些因素綜合表明,預計中期內自動化領域的支出將繼續保持成長動能。

擴大對雲端和物聯網服務的採用

動態多重雲端拓撲結構需要能夠擴展以匹配彈性運算資源的網​​路。 IBM 的研究表明,60% 的通訊服務供應商已經在使用人工智慧來監控混合雲端環境中的效能。製造工廠透過在生產車間結合軟體定義網路 (SDN) 和數位孿生分析,實現了停機時間減少 68%,業務永續營運提升 80%。醫療保健提供者也獲得了類似的收益,他們利用可程式設計分段來保護聯網的醫療設備,同時保持遙測資料的即時傳輸。這些優勢正在加速短期內採用這些技術,尤其是在雲流量最高的亞太地區。

具備SDN技能的專家短缺

具備網路、DevOps 和雲端運算能力的人才需求遠超供給。歐盟一項調查顯示,各成員國在數位技能發展上存在差異,阻礙了先進網路的普及。儘管企業正透過認證專案來應對這一問題,但 P4 和基於意圖的編配仍然是小眾領域,需要高薪人才。這種人才短缺推高了專案投入和諮詢成本,尤其是在現有系統升級方面。

細分市場分析

2025年,SDN基礎設施將佔總營收的44.60%,推動軟體定義網路(SDN)硬體層市場規模的成長,屆時可程式設計ASIC將取代傳統交換器。資本密集的更新換代專案仍將是控制器部署的先決條件,並將持續支撐2020年代後期的硬體支出。然而,隨著企業將設計、部署和生命週期管理外包,「服務與支援」領域的就業人數正以20.78%的複合年成長率(CAGR)呈現最強勁的成長動能。像HCLTech這樣的供應商正在擴展其託管SDN服務產品,建立永續的收入來源,這些服務結合了人工智慧編配和多重雲端可視性。

軟體控制器生態系統構成了決策層。 ONOS 和 OpenDaylight 等開放原始碼框架促進了社群主導的創新,同時降低了廠商鎖定風險。對比測試表明,ONOS 提供更高的傳輸吞吐量,而 OpenDaylight 則在拓撲發現和策略分發方面表現出色。這種兩極化促使廠商在增強的上游程式碼之上整合他們自身寶貴的 AI 輔助策略引擎和零信任擴充。

由於許多受監管行業都維持內部控制,因此到 2025 年,本地部署佔收入的 53.90%。然而,隨著資訊長 (CIO) 從資本預算模式轉向營運支出 (OPEX) 模式,預計到 2031 年,雲端託管控制器將以每年 22.3% 的速度成長。這種轉變是由彈性運算租用戶模式驅動的,在這種模式下,企業推出控制器叢集與虛擬化工作負載一起部署,並在需求下降時減少未充分利用的容量。混合拓撲結構正在成為一種可行的折衷方案,它允許負責人將敏感流量保留在本地,同時利用超大規模網路架構來應對突發流量。 Futuriom 的一項調查發現,95% 的負責人認為多重雲端連接至關重要,這推動了雲端 SDN 的採用。

總體擁有成本 (TCO) 估算表明,對於站點數量少於 100 個的新部署,雲端具有優勢;但在大規模園區環境中,設備的折舊成本仍然足以抵消雲端部署的成本。供應商現在將流量分析儀表板與每個層級的控制器即服務 (CaaS) 捆綁在一起,這使得中小企業更容易採用雲端服務。跨雲端策略的一致性仍然是一個挑戰,但標準化機構正在推動採用開放 API 模式,以便在亞馬遜、微軟和谷歌的環境中共用意圖元資料。

區域分析

在企業雲端遷移和聯邦政府研發投入的推動下,北美預計將在2025年佔全球收入的36.80%。光是美國國防部就在以軟體為中心的網路專案上投資超過13億美元,從而在敏感環境中催生了對安全、可程式設計架構的需求。矽谷、奧斯汀和多倫多周邊的新創企業群聚正在加速控制器創新,而Linux基金會的開放原始碼管理則促進了多廠商互通性。

歐洲則位居第二,這主要得益於永續性義務和倡導開放原始碼採用的數位主權法規。歐盟企業承擔相當於其收入1.8%的行政成本,這促使它們採用自動化網路營運來降低合規成本。監管機構透過強制批發存取和監控通訊骨幹網寡頭壟斷趨勢來促進競爭。同時,各國5G部署目標與能源效率提升工作一致,並鼓勵業者投資於企業垂直市場的SDN控制無線接取網切片技術。

亞太地區是成長最快的地區,預計到2031年將達到21.1%的複合年成長率。自2017年以來,中國的「數位絲綢之路」已在印太地區的24個國家投資約230億美元用於資訊通訊技術(ICT)項目,加速了跨境數據走廊廣域軟體定義網路(SDN)的部署。日本智慧製造聯盟正在部署私有5G和時間敏感網路疊加層,而印度領先的IT服務供應商正在將SDN整合到面向國內企業的園區管理解決方案中。隨著快速的都市化和「行動優先」消費群體的不斷壯大,邊緣流量日益成長,使得可程式設計擁塞控制成為必需品而非奢侈品。

Global Software Defined Networking Market Trends and Insights

Rising Investment Toward Automation of Network Infrastructure

Enterprises and public agencies are redirecting capex toward programmable fabrics that shrink manual configuration windows. The U.S. Department of Defense earmarked USD 1.355 billion for networking RDT&E programs focused on edge computing and collaborative processes in fiscal 2025. Intel's Network and Edge division generated USD 1.3 billion Q2 2024 revenue from AI-ready Ethernet NICs and infrastructure processing units that underpin self-driving networks. Field studies indicate that SDN-enabled automation can lop up to 40% off operational expenditure and accelerate service rollout by 60%. Financial-services teams illustrate the trend with a 26% rise in GitHub commits targeting Python-based network-automation tools during 2024. Combined, these factors keep automation spending on an upward trajectory through the medium term.

Increasing Adoption of Cloud and IoT-Centric Services

Dynamic multicloud topologies require networks that scale with elastic compute resources. IBM research notes that 60% of communications-service providers already employ AI for performance monitoring in hybrid cloud environments. Manufacturing facilities report a 68% fall in downtime and an 80% rise in continuity after pairing SDN with digital-twin analytics on the production floor. Healthcare providers see comparable gains, using programmable segmentation to protect connected medical devices while sustaining real-time telemetry flows. Such benefits accelerate near-term uptake, especially across Asia-Pacific where cloud traffic volumes are highest.

Shortage of SDN-Skilled Professionals

Demand for personnel who can code-switch between networking, DevOps, and cloud disciplines exceeds supply. EU research highlights uneven digital-skills development among member states, delaying advanced-network rollouts. Enterprises respond with certification programs, yet P4 and intent-based orchestration remain niche competencies drawing premium salaries. The talent deficit inflates project timelines and advisory-services costs, particularly for brownfield upgrades.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Proliferation of 5G Core Virtualization Projects
  2. Programmable Data-Plane (P4) Acceleration for Ultra-Low-Latency Slicing
  3. Rising Sophistication of SDN-Targeted Cyber-Attacks

Segment Analysis

SDN infrastructure contributed 44.60% of 2025 revenue, anchoring the software-defined networking market size at the hardware layer where programmable ASICs replace legacy switches. Capital-intensive refresh projects remain a prerequisite for controller adoption, sustaining hardware spend into the late 2020s. However, Services and Support postings show the steepest 20.78% CAGR, as enterprises outsource design, deployment, and lifecycle management. Providers like HCLTech widened managed-SDN offerings that bundle AI orchestration and multicloud visibility, underpinning repeatable revenue streams.

Software-controller ecosystems form the decision plane. Open-source frameworks such as ONOS and OpenDaylight temper the risk of vendor lock-in while fostering community-driven innovation. Comparative testing finds ONOS delivers stronger forwarding throughput, whereas OpenDaylight excels in topology discovery and policy distribution. The bifurcation spurs vendors to integrate proprietary value AI-assisted policy engines, zero-trust extensions on top of hardened upstream code.

On-premise installations held 53.90% of 2025 revenue as many regulated sectors insist on in-house control. Yet cloud-hosted controllers compound at 22.3% through 2031 as CIOs pivot from capital budgets to opex models. The shift couples with elastic compute tenancy; enterprises spin up controller clusters alongside virtualized workloads, trimming underutilized capacity when demand ebbs. Hybrid topologies emerge as a pragmatic compromise, letting operators preserve sensitive flows on-site while leveraging hyperscale fabrics for burst traffic. A Futuriom survey reveals that 95% of network leaders view multi-cloud connectivity as mission-critical, a stance that reinforces cloud SDN adoption.

Total cost-of-ownership calculations favor cloud for greenfield rollouts under 100 sites, while large campus estates still justify amortized appliance spend. Vendors now bundle controller-as-a-service tiers with traffic-analysis dashboards, easing SME onboarding. Inter-cloud policy alignment remains a friction point; standards groups push for open API schemas to share intent metadata across Amazon, Microsoft, and Google realms.

Geography Analysis

North America generated 36.80% of 2025 revenue, buoyed by enterprise cloud migration and federal Research and Development outlays. The U.S. Department of Defense alone invested more than USD 1.3 billion in software-centric networking projects, forging demand for secure, programmable fabrics in classified environments. Start-up density around Silicon Valley, Austin, and Toronto accelerates controller innovation, while open-source stewardship by the Linux Foundation fosters multivendor interoperability.

Europe ranks second, driven by sustainability mandates and digital-sovereignty statutes that advocate open-source adoption. EU firms bear bureaucratic costs equal to 1.8% of turnover, incentivizing automated network operations that curb compliance overhead. Regulators promote competition by obligating wholesale access and monitoring oligopolistic tendencies within telecom backbones. Simultaneously, national 5G rollout targets spur carrier investment in SDN-controlled RAN slicing for enterprise verticals, aligning with energy-efficiency commitments.

Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing locale, posting a 21.1% CAGR through 2031. China's Digital Silk Road has driven nearly USD 23 billion into ICT projects across 24 Indo-Pacific states since 2017, catalyzing wide-area SDN deployments for cross-border data corridors. Japanese smart-manufacturing consortia deploy private 5G and time-sensitive networking overlays, while India's IT-services giants integrate SDN into managed campus solutions for domestic enterprises. Rapid urbanization and a swelling base of mobile-first consumers enlarge edge-traffic volumes, making programmable congestion control a necessity rather than a luxury.
