Self-healing Networks Market Expected to Reach $13.9 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Self-healing Networks Market," The self-healing networks market was valued at $729.64 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $13.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 34.6% from 2022 to 2031.

Network self-healing is resolving network issues without the involvement of people. Blackouts, malfunctions, and compromises in networks of most types can all be detected either in advance or in real-time and resolved with automation. Moreover, the self-healing networks market involves the sale and implementation of these advanced networking technologies, including hardware and software solutions, that enable automatic healing and optimization of network infrastructure. Furthermore, the advances in automation technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and robotics are enabling self-healing networks to become more intelligent and efficient in detecting and resolving network issues. Moreover, self-healing networks can help reduce network downtime, which can have a significant impact on business operations and revenue. In addition, they can also help reduce operational costs by automating routine maintenance tasks and reducing the need for manual intervention.

Some factors driving the growth of the self-healing networks market are the rising need to control and manage network traffic, increasing adoption of automation technologies such as AI and ML integrated with self-healing, and surge in human error rates in manual systems causing network downtime. Furthermore, major market players have undertaken various strategies to increase the competition and offer enhanced services to their customers. For instance, in January 2020, Appnomic, provider of the first self-healing software technology for IT operations, announced the launch of its flagship product Heal. Heal is self-learning software that connects to business systems and identifies and prevents future issues from occurring, in addition to detecting and solving existing problems. All of this is done without the need for human intervention, saving substantial time and money usually spent on identifying and resolving problems related to software and infrastructure. Therefore, such strategies help to grow the self-healing networks industry. 

By deployment mode, the on-premises segment accounted for the highest growth in 2021. This is because of the increase in the frequency of cyberattacks and data breaches, which has made network security a top priority for many organizations, thus further driving demand for self-healing networks that can detect and respond to security threats in real-time. However, the cloud segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period, due to the increase in adoption of cloud-based solutions, to detect and resolve network issues without the need for human intervention. Thus, reducing downtime and improving network performance. 

By region, North America accounted for the highest growth in 2021. This is because in North America there is an increasing demand for uninterrupted network connectivity, particularly in critical industries such as healthcare, finance, and transportation. Furthermore, the need for reliable and secure communication networks in the wake of natural disasters and other emergency situations is also driving the growth of the market. However, Asia-Pacific is predicted to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period. This is due to the high rate of adoption of new technologies across Asia-Pacific and the increase in adoption of cloud-based services, the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), and the need for high-speed, low-latency networks to support emerging technologies such as 5G, leads to the regional market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the self-healing networks market. With the increase in remote work and online communication, there has been a growing need for reliable and resilient networks. Therefore, many organizations have invested in self-healing networks to ensure the uninterrupted operation of their networks. Moreover, the pandemic also highlighted the importance of reliable and resilient networks, as businesses and individuals have increasingly relied on digital communication and connectivity for remote work, education, and socializing. Thus, this has led to an increase in investment in network infrastructure and self-healing technologies.     

KEY FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

• By component, the solution segment accounted for the highest self-healing networks market share, in terms of revenue in 2021.
• On the basis of network type, the virtual segment is expected to exhibit the fastest growth rate during the self-healing networks market forecast.
• Region wise, North America generated the highest revenue of self-healing networks market size in 2021.  

The key players operating in the self-healing networks market analysis include Appnomic, Cisco Systems, Inc., CommScope, Ericsson, Fortra LLC, IBM, Ivanti, Nokia, Versa Networks, Inc., and VMware, Inc. These players have adopted various strategies to increase their market penetration and strengthen their position in the self-healing networks industry. For instance, in January 2020, VMware has acquired network analytics startup Nyansa Inc., expanding its network and security tool chest to include a self-healing network capability. Nyansa’s machine learning capabilities, combined with VMware’s network and security tools, make it easier for customers to monitor virtual cloud networks, ultimately enabling self-healing networks.
