Major trends in the forecast period include continuous real time network monitoring, automated alert and notification systems, traffic analysis and bandwidth monitoring, remote network diagnostics, network performance optimization.

The rising growth of cloud-based solutions is expected to propel the growth of the network monitoring market going forward. Cloud-based solutions refer to services or applications that are hosted, accessed, and delivered through the internet, utilizing remote servers for data storage, processing, and management, offering flexibility and scalability to users. Cloud-based solutions are helpful in network monitoring as they provide a comprehensive, flexible, and user-friendly monitoring solution for the entire IT infrastructure, hosted and managed by the service provider, without the need for a dedicated in-house server. For instance, in December 2023, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based European Union statistical office, in 2023, 5.2% of enterprises in the EU purchased cloud computing services. The most commonly purchased cloud services were e-mail services (82.7%), storage services for files (68%), and office software (66.3%). Therefore, the rising growth of cloud-based solutions is driving the growth of the network monitoring market.

Major companies operating in the network monitoring market are developing innovative products such as remote network monitoring (RMON), which is a method of monitoring network traffic on a remote Ethernet transport to identify and resolve network issues. It helps network administrators monitor and analyze data collected from local area networks (LANs), T-1/E-1 lines, and other network components, providing real-time information on network performance and potential problems. For instance, in February 2023, Tech Mahindra, an India-based information technology services and consulting company, launched SANDSTORM, a remote network monitoring and smart device assurance service for telcos and enterprises. SANDSTORM is a comprehensive and innovative solution that allows service providers to remotely measure customer experiences on any device, from smartphones to connected cars, and provides real-time network monitoring, device assurance, and an automation platform to test and deploy applications.

In September 2023, Cisco Systems, a U.S.-based technology company specializing in networking equipment and software, acquired Accedian Networks for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Cisco aimed to deepen its network monitoring and performance‑assurance capabilities by integrating Accedian’s Skylight network‑performance‑monitoring platform into its existing network‑management and observability solutions. Accedian Networks is a Canada‑based technology company that specializes in providing real-time network monitoring and analytics software to diagnose performance issues across service-provider and enterprise networks.
