The multi-cluster service mesh market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.92 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for multi-cloud interoperability, increasing adoption of hybrid cloud deployments, rising focus on network visibility and control, expansion of large-scale enterprise applications, and increasing investment in cloud infrastructure. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in service mesh frameworks, ongoing innovations in cloud networking, continuous developments in microservices management, increasing research and development in mesh security, and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in service mesh.

The increasing adoption of cloud-native architectures is expected to propel the growth of the multi-cluster service mesh market going forward. Cloud-native architecture is a structural approach to building and running applications designed to fully utilize cloud environments to enable scalability, flexibility, and automated management. The rising adoption of cloud-native architectures is due to enhanced operational efficiency, as they allow organizations to dynamically scale resources on demand, optimize workflows, and reduce dependency on physical infrastructure. Multi-cluster service mesh supports cloud-native architectures by providing a unified platform to manage, secure, and monitor microservices across multiple clusters, enabling seamless scalability, resilient communication, and consistent policy enforcement in complex distributed environments. For instance, in March 2025, according to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), a US-based nonprofit organization, adoption of cloud-native techniques among government organizations reached approximately 89% by 2024. Therefore, the increasing adoption of cloud-native architectures is driving the growth of the multi-cluster service mesh market.

Major companies operating in the multi-cluster service mesh market are focusing on developing technologically advanced solutions, such as ambient multicluster, to enhance secure connectivity, load balancing, and service discovery across distributed clusters. Ambient multicluster refers to a lightweight, modular service mesh extension that allows multiple Kubernetes clusters to communicate securely while maintaining consistent DNS names, traffic management, and observability. For instance, in August 2025, Istio, a US-based cloud-native technology company, launched Istio 1.27 with alpha ambient multicluster support. The release includes features such as east-west gateways for cross-cluster traffic routing, nested HBONE connections for end-to-end encryption, and ServiceScope APIs for controlling global service communication. The multi-cluster service mesh market benefits from these capabilities by enabling enterprises to scale applications across multiple clusters efficiently, improving resilience and operational control.

In January 2025, Solo.io Inc., a US-based cloud-native software company, partnered with Microsoft Corporation to enable seamless integration of its Gloo Mesh and Gloo Gateway solutions with Microsoft Azure. Through this partnership, Solo.io aims to streamline multi-cluster management, enhance security, and optimize deployment and observability of cloud-native applications across Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Corporation is a US-based cloud provider offering multi-cluster service mesh capabilities through Azure for secure and unified multi-cloud management.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.

Multi-cluster service mesh is an interconnected network architecture that manages and secures communication between services distributed across multiple clusters. It ensures consistent traffic management, observability, and security policies across clusters while maintaining service discovery and load balancing. This approach enhances reliability, scalability, and fault isolation in distributed cloud-native environments.

The main components of a multi-cluster service mesh are software and services. Software consists of programs, data, and instructions that enable computers or digital devices to perform specific tasks. It can be deployed on-premises or through the cloud. The architecture supports organizations of various sizes, including small and medium enterprises and large enterprises. Key applications include security, traffic management, monitoring and analytics, service discovery, and others, serving end-users such as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, information technology and telecommunications, retail, manufacturing, and others.

The multi-cluster service mesh market includes revenues earned by entities through cross-cluster traffic management, unified service discovery, security and policy enforcement, observability and monitoring, and workload connectivity.
