Europe 5G Network Slicing Services Forecast, 2023–2027

This IDC Market Forecast study presents a five-year forecast for European 5G network-slicing services revenue generated by European communications SPs. The forecast aligns with the worldwide 5G network-slicing services forecast methodology and only captures the monthly recurring managed services fees, excluding the underlying connectivity services fees and devices costs. In addition to the market forecast, this study provides insights into market drivers and inhibitors for network-slicing services."Currently, leading European service providers are testing network slicing technologies, identifying viable use cases, and exploring go-to-market scenarios and business models. Commercial launches of 5G network-slicing services are still rare in Europe. We expect the market to see a few static slices in the coming years, before dynamic slices and slice-as-a-service models emerge. This will entail a new level of network complexity. Addressing this complexity challenge will require the transformation of entire network management and orchestration systems." — Research Manager Ingrid Soukupova, 5G Strategies, IDC Europe
