Self-Organizing Network Market Analysis
The Self-Organizing Network Market is expected to register a CAGR of 11% during the forecast period.
- Growing urbanization and demand for advanced systems to manage network complexities is one of the main factors driving the market growth. SON offers effective network traffic management, lower operating costs, and improved customer satisfaction. Furthermore, SON simplifies and streamlines the management of multi-technology and multi-vendor networks, allowing providers to deliver faster services at a lower cost.
- The significant growth in information technology (IT) infrastructure and vast telecommunications expenditures are expected to boost the market growth. For Instance, Ericsson recently announced that Becker Mining Systems AG had inked a multi-country reselling deal with Ericsson to market and supply Ericsson Private 5G and Ericsson Private Networks to the mining sector.
- The 5G network implementation is substantially more complicated, and this will facilitate a need for improved operations and OSS (Operations support systems). The Self-Organizing Network (SON) is included as part of the network framework as a critical driver for enhancing OSS for LTE and 5G systems. It indicates that SON will have a significant positive impact on network operations.
- For instance, Verizon's innovation on VRAN (Virtualized Radio Access Network) plans to deploy over 8,000 virtualized cell sites, with a target of delivering over 20,000 by the end of 2025. The transition to a cloud-based, virtualized architecture with standardized interfaces in every part of the network leads to better flexibility, faster service delivery, higher scalability, and improved network cost efficiency. Such initiatives from the key players in the market would create new growth opportunities for the Self-Organizing Network market.
- During the COVID-19 scenario, most people preferred work-from-home mode, thus increasing high-speed Internet services demand. Post COVID-19, the 5G subscription penetration is further growing and thus creating new growth opportunities for the Self-Oraganizing Network market.
Self-Organizing Network Market Trends
Increasing demand for 5G Networks
- The demand for SON software owing to the upcoming 5G and 4G technology growth, is predicted to grow significantly over the next five years. The increasing wireless connection demand and the necessity to handle expanding network complexity with a growing number of tiny phone users are driving the market growth of self-organizing networks (SON).
- Furthermore, key players in the market are focused on investments, acquisitions, and partnerships. These strategies are projected to increase the market growth opportunities. For Instance, Ericsson, in collaboration with BT, announced a second major contract for a European port to deploy a private 4G/5G network in the U.K.'s Port of Tyne.
- For Instance, VMware introduced several updates to its RAN portfolio of products VMware RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC). VMware RIC, along with VMware Telco Cloud Platform RAN, will help service providers smoothly transition to Open RAN. Such Initiatives in the network infrastructure would create new growth opportunities for the self-organizing network market.
- According to Ericsson Mobility Report, by the end of 2028, 5 billion 5G subscriptions are expected to grow globally, and 5G subscription uptake is faster than 4G. Digital payments are growing, and the demand for high-speed connectivity services like 5G will increase significantly.

Asia-Pacifc is Expected to Register Significant Market Growth During the Forecast Period
- Asia-Pacific may witness increasing internet penetration and high mobile data traffic rates owing to the rising number of planned deployments of LTE networks and the upcoming 5G network. The growing investment by foreign players is one factor driving the demand for the Self-Organizing Network Market.
- According to GSMA, Asia-Pacific will have more than 400 million 5G subscriptions by the end of 2025, representing 14% of overall mobile subscriptions in the region, while 4G subscriptions will significantly decline over the next five years.
- The increasing demand for high-speed connectivity services by customers and spending on deploying 5G infrastructure will positively influence the Asia-Pacific self-organizing network market. For Instance, Opticoms partnered with Innovile to manage and optimize the Open RAN private 5G network.
- Key players in the Self-Organizing Network market are expanding their market presence through acquisitions and partnerships. For Instance, Qualcomm acquired Cellwize to enable Open RAN (radio access network) to simplify the deployment and expansion of 5G infrastructure.
