根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,預計到 2026 年,全球通訊軟體定義網路 (SDN) 市場規模將達到 64 億美元,並在預測期內以 21.2% 的複合年成長率成長,到 2034 年將達到 296 億美元。
軟體定義網路 (SDN) 指的是涵蓋 SDN 控制器、北向 API、南向協定實作、網路編配系統和分析平台的網路架構解決方案和管理平台。這些解決方案將網路控制平面功能與資料平面傳輸硬體分離,主導通訊業者能夠透過軟體驅動的網路智慧,在核心網路、傳輸網路、接取網路和資料中心網路域中實現集中式、可程式化的網路控制、可程式設計設定管理、動態流量工程以及與供應商無關的基礎設施管理,從而取代專有的硬體嵌入式控制機制。
對網路自動化和營運效率的需求
通訊業者網路日益複雜化的原因在於多廠商基礎設施、舊有系統與下一代系統間多種技術的部署,以及需要快速部署的服務組合不斷擴展。這種情況是推動軟體定義網路 (SDN) 投資的重要動力。與傳統的逐設備網路管理方法相比, 可程式設計集中式可編程控制、自動化配置部署以及基於模板的服務部署,從而在運營商級基礎設施上減少人工操作、降低配置錯誤率並縮短服務激活時間。
基礎設施供應商專有規範所帶來的阻力
思科、諾基亞和愛立信等老牌電信基礎設施廠商憑藉其專有的網路作業系統、封閉式的生態系統認證要求以及廠商特定的SDN部署方法,維持著市場主導地位。這些因素造成了市場碎片化和互通性挑戰,使得多廠商SDN的部署更加複雜,並限制了通訊業者,旨在推廣廠商中立的SDN架構部署,但這些挑戰仍然存在。
5G網路切片的實現
軟體定義網路 (SDN) 為 5G 網路切片的商業部署提供了底層支持,它能夠實現可程式設計的流量隔離、自動化的切片資源配置以及跨共用實體基礎設施的動態頻寬分配。隨著營運商為企業專用網路、工業IoT和關鍵任務通訊通訊業者部署商用 5G 網路切片服務,滿足他們對具有效能保障的專用邏輯網路實例的需求,SDN 的投資需求也隨之成長。
一種意圖式網路架構
現有設備供應商推出的意圖式網路解決方案,無需完全過渡到完整的軟體定義網路 (SDN) 架構,即可實現自動化網路配置和封閉回路型運行功能。這為通訊業者提供了一種替代性的運維自動化方案,可逐步整合到現有基礎設施投資中,從而可能緩解全面過渡到 SDN 架構的緊迫性,並減少短期內用 SDN 平台替換現有供應商專有控制系統的需求。
新冠疫情凸顯了電信網路敏捷性的局限性,通訊業者需要快速重新分配網路容量以應對住宅流量激增和企業遠端存取需求成長。這促使營運商加大對軟體定義網路 (SDN) 的投資,SDN 能夠實現無需人工干預的程式化網路重新配置。疫情後,通訊業者在整體資本支出計畫中繼續推動 SDN 平台投資,這些計畫將 SDN 架構應用於雲端原生 5G 部署、網路自動化和基礎設施整合等網路轉型專案。
在預測期內,大型企業細分市場預計將佔據最大的市場佔有率。
預計在預測期內,大型企業將佔據最大的市場佔有率。這是因為大型通訊業者和企業機構正在其核心網路、資料中心和廣域網路基礎設施中部署全面的軟體定義網路 (SDN) 架構轉型,這需要對 SDN 控制器平台、網路功能整合和專業服務合約進行大量投資。與專注於最佳化特定網路網域的小規模企業 SDN 部署相比,這些大型企業每次部署的收入將顯著更高。
預計在預測期內,「5G 和網路切片環境」細分市場將呈現最高的複合年成長率。
在預測期內,5G 和網路切片環境領域預計將呈現最高的成長率。這主要得益於通訊業者推出商用 5G 網路切片服務,這些服務需要利用 SDN 來實現自動化切片生命週期管理、動態資源編配和即時效能監控。這些功能將支援差異化的企業連接服務,並在共用的5G 無線存取和核心網路基礎設施上確保品質參數。
在預測期內,北美預計將佔據最大的市場佔有率。這主要歸功於美國主要通訊業者先進的雲端原生網路轉型計畫、企業級SD-WAN的大規模部署推動了SDN市場的收入成長,以及VMware、思科和瞻博網路等領先的SDN技術創新者透過向通訊業者和企業客戶部署SDN平台和託管服務,在北美獲得了可觀的收入。
在預測期內,亞太地區預計將呈現最高的複合年成長率。這主要歸功於中國、日本、韓國和印度的大規模5G部署專案(這些專案需要SDN架構來實現網路切片和雲端原生核心部署),企業SD-WAN的快速普及推動了SDN基礎設施投資,以及政府主導的數位化基礎設施轉型專案透過採用軟體定義網路技術來支援通訊網路的現代化。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Telecom Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Market is accounted for $6.4 billion in 2026 and is expected to reach $29.6 billion by 2034 growing at a CAGR of 21.2% during the forecast period. Telecom software-defined networking refers to network architecture solutions and management platforms encompassing SDN controllers, northbound application programming interfaces, southbound protocol implementations, network orchestration systems, and analytics platforms that separate network control plane functions from data plane forwarding hardware, enabling telecommunications operators to achieve centralized programmable network control, automated configuration management, dynamic traffic engineering, and vendor-agnostic infrastructure management across core, transport, access, and data center network domains through software-driven network intelligence replacing proprietary hardware-embedded control mechanisms.
Network Automation and Operational Efficiency Demand
Telecommunications operator network complexity growing from multi-vendor infrastructure, multi-technology deployment spanning legacy and next-generation systems, and expanding service portfolio requiring rapid provisioning creates compelling investment case for software-defined networking enabling centralized programmable control, automated configuration deployment, and template-based service provisioning that reduce manual operations labor, configuration error rates, and service activation timelines compared to traditional device-by-device network management approaches across carrier-grade infrastructure.
Proprietary Infrastructure Vendor Resistance
Established telecommunications infrastructure vendors including Cisco, Nokia, and Ericsson maintaining proprietary network operating system advantages, closed ecosystem certification requirements, and vendor-specific SDN implementation approaches create market fragmentation and interoperability challenges that complicate multi-vendor SDN deployment and limit operator ability to achieve true hardware independence from proprietary control mechanisms despite open standards efforts by industry organizations promoting vendor-neutral SDN architecture implementations.
5G Network Slicing Enablement
Software-defined networking forming foundational enablement layer for 5G network slicing commercial deployment by providing programmable traffic isolation, automated slice resource provisioning, and dynamic bandwidth allocation across shared physical infrastructure creates growing SDN investment requirement as telecommunications operators deploy commercial 5G network slicing services for enterprise private network, industrial IoT, and mission-critical communications customers requiring dedicated logical network instances with guaranteed performance characteristics.
Intent-Based Networking Alternative Architectures
Emergence of intent-based networking solutions offered by established equipment vendors providing automated network configuration and closed-loop operations capabilities without requiring full SDN architecture transformation representing alternative operational automation approach that telecommunications operators can deploy incrementally on existing infrastructure investments, potentially reducing urgency for comprehensive SDN architectural migration and limiting near-term SDN platform displacement of incumbent vendor proprietary control systems.
COVID-19 pandemic highlighting telecommunications network agility limitations when operators needed rapid capacity reallocation for residential traffic surge and enterprise remote access demand spikes validated software-defined networking investment case for programmatic network reconfiguration without manual intervention. Post-pandemic network transformation programs incorporating SDN architecture for cloud-native 5G deployment, network automation, and infrastructure consolidation continue expanding SDN platform investment across operator capital expenditure programs.
The Large Enterprises segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The Large Enterprises segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, due to large telecommunications operators and enterprise organizations deploying comprehensive SDN architecture transformations across core network, data center, and WAN infrastructure requiring substantial SDN controller platform investment, network function integration, and professional services engagements that generate significantly higher per-deployment revenue than small enterprise SDN deployments focused on specific network domain optimization.
The 5G & Network Slicing Environments segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the 5G & Network Slicing Environments segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, driven by commercial 5G network slicing service launch by telecommunications operators requiring SDN-enabled automated slice lifecycle management, dynamic resource orchestration, and real-time performance monitoring capabilities that enable differentiated enterprise connectivity services with guaranteed quality parameters across shared 5G radio access and core network infrastructure.
During the forecast period, the North America region is expected to hold the largest market share, due to advanced cloud-native network transformation programs by major US telecommunications operators, significant enterprise SD-WAN adoption driving SDN market revenue, and leading SDN technology innovators including VMware, Cisco, and Juniper Networks generating substantial North American SDN platform and managed service revenue from operator and enterprise customer deployments.
Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, due to large-scale 5G deployment programs across China, Japan, South Korea, and India requiring SDN architecture for network slicing and cloud-native core deployment, rapidly growing enterprise SD-WAN adoption driving SDN infrastructure investment, and government-backed digital infrastructure transformation programs supporting telecommunications network modernization through software-defined networking technology adoption.
