Network Function Virtualization Market Size Worth USD 424.72 Billion by 2034 | CAGR: 26.7%

The global network function virtualization market size is expected to reach USD 424.72 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Network Function Virtualization Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Component (Solutions, Orchestration and Automation, and Services), Virtualized Network Function, Enterprise Size, Application, End Users, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Network function virtualization (NFV) is a modern architecture that makes use of software to replace hardware-based network functions. It packages network services such as routers, firewalls, and load balancers into virtual machines that operate on commodity software. That way, service providers can manage their networks on standard servers instead of proprietary software.

The adoption of virtual applications technology to cater to the ever-growing demand for digital infrastructure that incorporates cloud and private systems is the key factor driving the network function virtualization market growth. A few benefits of NFVs such as user mobility, updates, patches, portability, and ease of software management installation are driving their increased adoption across various sectors.
