The Global Network Automation Market accounted for US$ 3,957 Mn in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ 28,408 Mn by 2030, with a significant CAGR of 24.6% from 2022 to 2030.
Network automation is the combination of software and process to automate the configuration, provision, management, testing, maintenance, and operation of physical and virtual devices within an organization’s network. These are primarily manual processes, which are error-prone and time-consuming. Automating them saves time, minimizes errors, lowers operational costs, and improves network performance for businesses. Network automation has a wide range of applications. It decreases expenses by reducing human error, increasing efficiency, and lowering costs. Employees will be connected to the network when they need to be and faster, without having to contact IT, to boost an organization's overall productivity levels. These advanced automation solutions can be set up to take corrective action on their own, allowing for closed-loop network issue resolution even before they occur. As a result, network automation boosts operational efficiency, lowers the risk of human mistake, boosts network service availability, and improves customer satisfaction.

Market Dynamics
There is an exponential rise in network traffic due to the increasing number of smartphones, computers, laptops, and other many devices. Automations requirement to detect old devices, data leak, compliance issues, and storage issues has proliferated the network automation industry. The majority of the detection process is carried out by the adoption of AI and machine learning. These technologies are used to troubleshoot network issues through real-time data monitoring. With the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning, sophisticated network automation solutions explore meta-data and control model-driven network programmability to discover network behaviors, provide predictive analysis, and give recommendations to network operations teams.
A few of the benefits that automating network offers are a reduction in several issues, increased network resiliency, lower costs, increased strategic workforce, and reduction in network downtime. With more devices, users, and applications relying on the network for crucial access to a wide range of endpoints, enterprise networks are currently under strain. As a result, businesses are becoming more interested in advanced management tools and innovative network architectures that use machine learning and artificial intelligence to build self-driving or autonomous networks.
However, the market growth is limited by certain factors such as the availability of open-source automation tools and the lack of skilled network engineers. There is widespread usage of open-source tools in the market as they are free, and many SMEs have budget constraints, so they opt for open source automation solutions. In addition, several open-source technology developers have created cost-effective open-source network monitoring solutions that are regarded as superior to their commercial counterparts. Thus, the market is expected to witness a downturn due to these factors.
On the other hand, growing investments in R&D and key players' focus on developing new automation solutions are some of the aspects that can recover the market growth and will create numerous growth opportunities in the coming years. Companies that provide networking solutions are substantially investing in research and development, with an emphasis on long-term value creation.
Market Segmentation
