These benefits have reinforced the position of public cloud as the dominant deployment model in the multi cloud SDN market.
The small and mid sized enterprises segment is expected to account for 42.70% of overall market revenue by 2025, establishing it as the leading enterprise size category. Growth in this segment is being supported by the increasing need among SMEs to optimize costs, scale IT resources quickly, and compete with larger players through technology adoption.
Cloud based SDN solutions have provided SMEs with the ability to manage complex networks with limited internal expertise while ensuring flexibility and security. The availability of subscription based pricing and managed services has lowered barriers to entry, encouraging widespread uptake.
As SMEs continue to prioritize agility and digital transformation, their reliance on multi cloud SDN solutions is expected to remain strong, positioning this segment at the forefront of market expansion.
The IT and telecommunications industry is projected to represent 36.80% of total market revenue by 2025 within the industry category, marking it as the most prominent segment. This is being propelled by increasing data traffic, rising adoption of cloud based services, and the demand for high performance networks.
IT and telecom operators have leveraged multi cloud SDN to support dynamic network management, low latency services, and efficient bandwidth utilization. The technology has been instrumental in enabling telecom firms to deploy 5G networks, manage edge computing infrastructure, and improve service reliability.
Additionally, the need for seamless connectivity across multiple platforms has reinforced its adoption. Consequently, IT and telecommunications continue to dominate the industry category by driving large scale integration of multi cloud SDN solutions.
Multi-Cloud SDN (FMC) market is expected to grow at a high CAGR of 12% from 2025 to 2035 and is projected to reach USD 19.8 Billion by 2035. A multi-cloud SDN approach enables users to make seamless cloud-to-cloud connections over a low-latency direct connection that bypasses the public internet for offering enhanced security. SDN architectures make it much easier to build a functional multi-cloud environment through a single platform.
As organizations are continuously focusing towards scaling their hybrid cloud environments, it has become very critical to leverage solutions that help improve productivity and processes. Since, the inception of SDN, the technology has got more attention among enterprises. As more organizations have adopted hybrid cloud and tasked their network engineers with figuring out the basics of connectivity, reliability, and security.
As SDN platforms are enhanced to support multi-cloud environments, the platforms are being used to mitigate the inherent complexity of establishing and maintaining network and security policies across hybrid IT landscapes.
Also, the platform delivers better application experience, reduce security risks and lower operations cost for multi-cloud applications. Thus, the benefits of cost-effectiveness, high scalability, and reliability offered by multi-cloud SDN is expected to propel the market growth in coming years.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and cloud computing complement each other and enable new visibility and control over the networks. SDNs became even more valuable, when it became possible to integrate the architecture easily with cloud-based environments.
The convergence of both the technologies let users to respond quickly to changes. SDN manages network configuration more efficient and improves network performance and monitoring.
SDNs have become integral to cloud-based IT infrastructure. Both enterprises and public cloud providers have started leveraging SDNs in their cloud environments, as applications can self-define the network requirements directly from the application itself. Thus, the network can support hundreds of configurations and be optimized for specific workloads 100% of the time.
Today, SDN architecture can better understand the cloud environment it operates in. That enables new kinds of flexibility, speed, and innovation. In fact, big players present in the SDN market like Cisco, Juniper and VMware have all made moves to tie together enterprise data center and cloud worlds.
When it comes to cloud computing adoption, USA is the most mature market. This is due to the early adoption of cloud based networks by the USA markets. Organizations in both the countries have taken high level of initiatives towards adoption of latest digital technologies.
The high internet penetration, coupled with initiatives from government agencies moving partially to the cloud to improve information services would also drive the growth of multi-cloud SDN technologies in the USA & Canada.
USA is expected to hold the largest share in the North America Multi-Cloud SDN market. The country has always been at the forefront in terms of technological development. Moreover, USA is home to multiple multi-cloud SDN solution vendors, such as Cisco Systems, Oracle, Juniper Networks, Fortinet, Ciena Corporation, HPE, Dell and among others.
