Global Network Emulator Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Network Emulator Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Network emulators are product that replicate real-time network performance, enable manipulation of bandwidth constraints, and apply impairments, such as packet loss, delay, and jitter, to accurately gauge applications responsiveness and throughput, and the quality of end-user experience, so as to provide quality assurance, proof of concept, and troubleshooting. Network emulator mimics real-world network environment such as Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). Network emulator designs include a wide range of standard network attributes including duplication of packets, amount of available bandwidth, given degree of packet loss, round-trip time across network reordering packets, and corruption and modification of packets. It helps enterprises to test the performance of real-world applications over the virtual network.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Network Emulator market finds that the global Network Emulator market reached a value of USD 192.16 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 289.99 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period.

The demand for reduced downtime in networking

Network failures and outages (called network downtime) can cost companies thousands of dollars in revenue, productivity, and recovery costs. Especially with the development of technology, the dependence of various industries on the network has increased. Network downtime in retail operations can cause point-of-sale (POS) terminals to become inoperable or phone calls to be interrupted, which can prevent the business from selling. For service providers, cut off services to their customers.

Network Emulator can help reduce downtime in networking, by simulating all the software and hardware devices that make up the network and their interconnection methods to test and evaluate the operation of the code, reduce the occurrence of errors, and thereby reduce network downtime. As people's demand for reducing network downtime increases, this will promote the development of the Network Emulator market.

The rapid development of network technology is an important concern

The continuous development of software-defined networking (SDN) and network virtualization, the introduction of 5G networks, and the multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) technology represent an acceleration in the speed of innovation in network technology. Network Emulator is a product that adapts to the network environment. With the continuous innovation and upgrade of the network environment, Network Emulator also needs to be upgraded. For enterprises, it is a challenge for enterprises to pay attention to the latest network dynamics and to quickly match and upgrade the Network Emulator.

Spirent is the leading global provider of automated test and assurance solutions for networks, cybersecurity, and positioning. Their automated test and assurance solutions accelerate technology development in the lab and ensure new products and services perform in the real world.

Keysight Technologies

Keysight Technologies, or Keysight, is an American company that manufactures electronic test and measurement equipment and software. Keysight Technologies is the world's electronic measurement company, transforming today's measurement experience through innovations in wireless, modular, and software solutions.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, Hardware segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2021.

Application Overview:

The market's largest segment by application is the segment SD-WAN, with a market share of 42.03% in 2021.

SD-WAN

A SD-WAN is a virtual WAN architecture that allows enterprises to leverage any combination of transport services including MPLS, LTE and broadband internet services to securely connect users to applications. While SD-WANs can increase the capacity and performance of the networks they manage, mission-critical applications depend on them functioning properly. Network Emulator can test how SD-WAN responds to network impairments and understand how these changes affect the end-user experience of the application. Get comprehensive insights on the most effective steps toward total SD-WAN optimization.

Cloud

The cloud refers to software and services that run on the Internet, instead of locally on a personal computer. Most cloud services can be accessed through a Web browser like Firefox or Google Chrome, and some companies offer dedicated mobile apps. When an enterprise starts a project to migrate from on-premises computing to the cloud, a lot of guesswork must be eliminated. Network Emulator can create cloud conditions in the test system, helping customers and third-party developers create, test, and fine-tune customized applications in a completely virtual environment.

IoT

The IoT refers to a system of interrelated, internet-connected objects that are able to collect and transfer data over a wireless network without human intervention. Network Emulator can be used to simulate the Internet of Things system. Customers can use it to test the performance of real applications on virtual networks. If customers are building a new IoT network from scratch or expanding an existing network, they can use the Network Emulator to predict the performance of the corresponding network.
