Autonomous Networks Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report – By Offering (Solutions and Services), End User (Service Providers and Verticals), and Region; Segment Forecast, 2024–2032

The autonomous networks market size is expected to reach USD 30.26 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Autonomous Networks Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report – By Offering (Solutions and Services), End User (Service Providers and Verticals), and Region; Market Forecast, 2024–2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The growth of the autonomous networks market is driven by the rising adoption of AI and machine learning technologies that facilitate the development of highly efficient, self-managing networks. These advancements enable autonomous networks to function with capabilities such as self-optimization, self-healing, and real-time decision-making, thereby minimizing the need for manual intervention. AI-driven frameworks enhance network efficiency and reliability, promoting the widespread adoption of autonomous networks. This trend is further fueled by the ongoing evolution of 5G, edge computing, and IoT technologies, which collectively contribute to market expansion.

The integration of AI and networking technologies, along with the collaboration demonstrated by AI data centers, is propelling the growth of the autonomous networks market. For instance, in May 2024, Arista Networks collaborated with NVIDIA to present AI data centers as a technical demonstration whose scope is to bring compute and network sectors together as a singular controlled AI. This demonstration will increase demand in the autonomous networks market due to its seamless coordination between networks, servers, and network interface cards. Furthermore, the adoption of strategic initiatives among players would create significant opportunities for the autonomous networks market during the forecast period. In May 2024, Extreme Networks deployed a new fabric-enhanced wireless and wired network for the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) in Jordan, the Middle East.

Enhanced network automation through Cloud RAN and Open RAN technologies is significantly advancing the autonomous networks market. In February 2024, AT&T and Ericsson announced the initiation of Ericsson Cloud RAN technology deployment within AT&T’s commercial 5G network. This deployment enables AT&T to accelerate its C-band rollout and embrace network virtualization, creating a developer-friendly environment for the development of new applications and services.
