Network Automation Market Outlook: 2026
Network automation is the process of automating the configuration, management, testing, deployment, and operations of physical and virtual devices within a network. It is the methodology in which software automatically configures, provisions, manages, and tests network devices. It is used by different enterprises and service providers to improve efficiency and reduce human error and operating expenses. The tools of network automation functions are ranging from basic network mapping and device discovery, to more complex workflows such as network configuration management and the provisioning of virtual network resources. It plays an important role in software-defined network, network virtualization, and network orchestration, enabling automated provisioning of virtual network tenants and functions, such as virtual load balancing. It has several core benefits such as improved efficiency, reduced likelihood of human error, and lower operational costs.
Rise in adoption of smart and connected device, increase in the adoption of automation technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, which enables enterprises to enhance troubleshooting of the network issues through real-time data monitoring are major factors that drive the growth of the network automation market. In addition, increase in number of start-ups offering solution for network automation and network downtime caused due to human errors fuel the growth of the network automation market. However, availability of open source automation tools hampers the growth of the network automation market. Furthermore, adoption of advanced networking solution by different SMEs and rise in investments on R&D in network automation by different SMEs are anticipated to provide major opportunities in the market.
