Market Dynamics

Key Drivers:

  • The growing popularity of cloud computing services

 Cloud based services are increasingly gaining popularity in many enterprises, as the number of cloud applications increases. Due to rising investments by SMEs, cloud computing adoption is on the rise. By 2023, global IP traffic in cloud data centers was expected to reach approximately 20,407 Exabytes, based on the date of Cisco Systems. Consequently, market growth is expected to be driven by increasing demand for cloud services.  Also, the widespread use of cloud infrastructure services, businesses are increasingly turning to cloud-based VPN services.

  • Adoption of a working model combining both approaches

Restraints:

  • Lack of standardisation and complex deployment procedures

Problems in providing NaaS services to organizations due to a worldwide shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals are negatively affecting the market's growth.

Opportunities:

  • The adoption of a hybrid work model

A significant opportunity for the network as a service market is presented by universal adoption of hybrid working practices. The demand for adaptable, Scalable and Secure Network Solutions has increased as enterprises move to a mix of Remote Work with Inoffice work. By providing robust, cloud-based networking to support seamless connectivity and access to corporate resources from anywhere in the world, NaaS makes it easier for a hybrid work model.

  • Growing demand for Information technology (IT) and telecommunication sector

  • Demand for cloud-native solutions based on SDN and NFV to replace the existing networking approach.

Challenges:

  • Data privacy and security concerns

  • Loss of WAN connection

The medium sized companies with significant costs in distant, regional campuses and data centre connectivity and security infrastructure, switching to NaaS will be a challenge and time intensive task. Due to the fact that NaaS relies on fast, low latency internet providers, any loss of the WAN connection can seriously hinder or even stop the operation of the business network. As the service is still new, it is not known how much NaaS will cost.

Impact of Economic Slowdown:

The benefits of NaaS, such as cost efficiency and flexibility, remain significant drivers of this growth. Studies by industry analysts suggest that companies can achieve cost savings of 20-30% on network infrastructure by adopting NaaS, while reports indicate a 40% increase in agility compared to traditional methods. However, challenges persist during slowdowns, with reliability concerns causing a 5% increase in hesitancy towards NaaS adoption. In terms of market segment growth, WANaaS and cloud-based services stand out, with WANaaS estimated to hold a market share of 40% due to widespread use and the growth of SD-WAN technologies, and cloud-based NaaS expected to experience a 25% growth due to the rising popularity of cloud computing. Geographically, North America is speculated to dominate with a 60% market share attributed to its advanced technological infrastructure and the presence of major NaaS players, while the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR driven by substantial investments in cloud-based networking and digital transformation initiatives. These estimations, although based on industry trends, emphasize the importance of consulting reliable sources like Gartner or Forrester for the latest and most specific figures regarding the impact of economic slowdowns on the NaaS market.

Impact of Russia Ukraine War:

The Russia-Ukraine crisis has reverberated across various sectors, including the Network as a Service (NaaS) market. While precise data on the direct consequences of this geopolitical turmoil on NaaS remains unavailable as of March 19, 2024, it's essential to grasp the broader context and potential implications. The interplay between economic trends and technological markets profoundly impacts the NaaS landscape, with the ongoing transition to cloud services and heightened demand for efficiency-driving technologies like cloud analytics and edge computing. Geopolitical tensions influence global supply chains, regulatory frameworks, and investment patterns, indirectly affecting NaaS providers. Potential disruptions in the supply chain, regulatory uncertainties, and shifts in investment behaviors pose challenges for NaaS providers, necessitating adaptability and strategic planning. Despite uncertainties, the NaaS market demonstrates resilience amidst turbulent geopolitical environments, underscored by increased demand for innovative solutions and the need for agile responses to evolving market dynamics.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
