Market Trends of Managed MPLS Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Managed MPLS Market according to our research experts:
BFSI Industry is Expected to Drive the Market Growth
- An increasing number of privacy breaches have alerted banks to gain control over their network and routing. For instance, according to Verizon, the number of cyber attacks in the BFSI sector worldwide increased from 721 in 2020 to 2,527 in the previous year. To address these security concerns, the IT department of these BFSI institutes has started to prefer layer 2 VPN and 3 VPN MPLS services.
- With the increasing number of multiple locations and the specific networking requirements for individual sites, the design development and implementation of unique network models have become significantly complex. Thus, BFSI institutes have opted to outsource their networking, aiding the managed MPLS market's growth.
- Further, expanding networks in the BFSI sector becomes easy with MPLS technology. The growing demand for high-quality video conferencing and VoIP service has also emerged as a critical application area for MPLS since it offers sustainable bandwidth between the user's equipment and the service provider's network, which helps to suffice VoIP's requirements.
- In addition, due to the increased digitalization of BFSI operations and growing volumes of client data, the BFSI sector has witnessed many advantages through adopting cloud services to cater to these requirements. However, this adoption has also increased the sector's vulnerability to data breaches and attacks, thus, driving institutes to opt for networks that allow the smooth functioning of cloud services while ensuring security. These factors have increased the penetration of MPLS networks in the BFSI sector.
North America is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- The North America region is expected to hold a significant market share. With the surge of cloud computing, there has been an increase in the demand for secure networking among enterprises, which, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for the managed MPLS market.
- In addition, the rise in cloud computing raised the requirement for secure networking among businesses, likely increasing demand for managed MPLS services. For instance, according to Cisco Systems, cloud traffic in North America last year was 19.5 ZB (1.6 ZB Per Month). This is anticipated to contribute positively to the growth of the market studied.
- Companies in the region, such as Cognizant, deliver a full range of application outsourcing, system integration services, and business process consulting. The company realized the need for transcontinental connectivity and efficient security mechanisms by increasing its global reach through business diversification.
- Moreover, according to the U.S. Census Bureau data, as of September last year, 48.3% of the workers in the District of Columbia worked from home, the highest % of home-based workers among states and state equivalents. In addition, more enterprises are shifting toward a remote working model to maintain business continuity without compromising the security of their workforce. Such factors are further expected to drive the region's demand for managed MPLS services.
