Frequently Asked Questions
The market includes Cisco, Arista Networks, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Broadcom (VMware NSX), Huawei, NVIDIA, Extreme Networks, Nokia, Dell Technologies, and Juniper Networks. These vendors compete on overlay automation depth, standards-based interoperability, and breadth of qualified data center and telecom deployments.
The main opportunities lie in standards-based multi-vendor interoperability that lets enterprises mix networking hardware from different suppliers within a single overlay fabric, and in AI fabric automation that provisions and reconfigures VXLAN tunnels as GPU training jobs are scheduled and retired.
The key growth factor is AI data center build-out, which creates overlay networking demand at a scale earlier data center generations never required, since GPU fabrics depend on the same multi-tenant isolation and rapid reconfiguration capability VXLAN was originally built to provide.
By component, the Hardware segment dominated the market with approximately 52.00% share in 2025, supported by its role as the physical backbone of every overlay fabric. The Multi-Tenancy application and IT and Telecom end-user segments led their respective axes.
North America dominated the market with approximately 35.00% share in 2025, led by the United States and its concentration of hyperscale cloud operators. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region, at a CAGR of approximately 19.5%.
