The global software-defined anything market size is expected to reach USD 383.65 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Software-Defined Anything (SDx) Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report – By Offering, End User (Service Providers and Enterprises), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa); Segment Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The software-defined anything (SDx) market is driven by the increasing need for virtualization and automation across various industries. SDx refers to the shift from hardware-centric to software-defined architectures, encompassing technologies such as software-defined networking (SDN), software-defined storage (SDS), and software-defined data centers (SDDC). These technologies enable more flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient IT infrastructures by abstracting network, storage, and data center functions from the underlying hardware and managing them via software.
The rise of cloud computing and the adoption of cloud-based services, which require flexible, automated management solutions, is contributing to the software-defined anything (SDx) market growth. The rapid deployment of 5G networks, especially in developed economies, has also heightened the demand for SDx technologies to manage the complexity of next-generation network infrastructures. Additionally, the increasing need for enhanced cybersecurity is encouraging organizations to adopt SDx, as these solutions offer greater control, visibility, and automation of network security.
