The network operations management market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to autonomous network operations with self-healing, integration of netops with secops, predictive capacity planning using ai, zero trust segmentation for enterprise networks, telemetry-driven operations for cloud networking. Major trends in the forecast period include aiops-enabled network monitoring and remediation, unified observability for hybrid networks, automated configuration and policy management, security-integrated network operations workflows, real-time traffic analytics and capacity planning.

The rising adoption of the internet of things (IoT) is expected to drive the growth of the network operations management market going forward. The internet of things (IoT) refers to interconnected devices that collect and share data in real time while processing it closer to its source rather than relying solely on centralized cloud systems. The growth of IoT is driven by the rapid increase in connected devices, as enterprises and industries require enhanced real-time monitoring and management capabilities. Network operations management supports IoT by ensuring seamless connectivity, real-time monitoring, and efficient management of distributed devices and edge nodes, improving network performance, reliability, and data flow across decentralized environments. For instance, in October 2025, according to IoT Analytics, a Germany-based analytics firm, the number of connected IoT devices increased by 12% in 2024 to reach 18.5 billion and is projected to grow by 14% in 2025, reaching 39 billion by 2030 and exceeding 50 billion by 2035. Therefore, the rising adoption of IoT is driving the growth of the network operations management market.

Key companies operating in the network operations management market are focusing on technological innovations, such as artificial intelligence-powered observability, to improve network visibility, performance optimization, and proactive issue resolution. Artificial intelligence-powered observability uses AI and machine learning to automatically monitor, analyze, and interpret complex IT systems and network data, enabling proactive anomaly detection, faster root-cause analysis, and improved performance through intelligent insights. For instance, in May 2024, Riverbed Technology LLC, a US-based IT company, introduced its advanced AI-powered platform designed to optimize digital experiences, along with new solutions for mobile, cloud, and AIOps.

Tariffs have created both challenges and opportunities for the network operations management market by increasing the cost of importing routers, switches, firewalls, and monitoring appliances used for enterprise and service provider networks. These higher costs can delay network upgrades and refresh cycles, particularly for organizations in North America and Europe that depend on Asia-Pacific manufacturing for critical networking components. Hardware-intensive segments such as on-premises monitoring probes, high-capacity traffic analyzers, and dedicated observability infrastructure are most affected due to increased capital expenditure and longer lead times. However, tariffs are also accelerating adoption of cloud-based network monitoring platforms, driving greater automation to reduce manual operations, and encouraging regional sourcing diversification. Vendors are enhancing software-defined capabilities, improving AI-driven troubleshooting, and offering managed network operations services to help customers maintain performance and security while controlling costs.
