The growing adoption of cloud computing is expected to propel the growth of the network infrastructure as code market going forward. Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing resources such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics over the internet, offering faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. The uptake of cloud computing is driven by scalability, enabling businesses to adjust computing resources based on demand and reduce infrastructure costs. Network infrastructure as code facilitates cloud infrastructure automation by allowing automated configuration, deployment, and management of network resources through programmable scripts, reducing manual intervention and enhancing scalability. For instance, in January 2026, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government organization, 52.74% of EU enterprises were using paid cloud computing services in 2025, up from 45.32% in 2023, reflecting increasing cloud adoption among businesses. Therefore, the rising adoption of cloud computing is fueling the growth of the network infrastructure as code market.

Leading companies operating in the network infrastructure as code market are focusing on innovative artificial intelligence (AI) driven automation, such as agentic artificial intelligence (AI) network operations automation, to gain a competitive advantage. Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) network operations automation refers to the use of intelligent algorithms that automatically analyze network telemetry, generate configuration actions, and execute infrastructure workflows through programmable code-based operations. Organizations increasingly adopt artificial intelligence (AI) to improve operational efficiency, enhance proactive monitoring, and reduce manual configuration complexity across cloud and hybrid networks. Artificial intelligence (AI) automation improves deployment consistency, strengthens policy enforcement, and accelerates infrastructure provisioning through standardized programmable templates aligned with infrastructure as code practices. For example, in August 2025, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), a US-based information technology company, introduced enhanced artificial intelligence (AI)-native Mist platform innovations featuring agentic artificial intelligence (AI)-powered troubleshooting and automated self-driving network actions that enable proactive remediation and real-time configuration management. The solution includes digital experience twinning, autonomous remediation workflows, and expanded application programming interface (API)-driven automation capabilities.

In February 2025, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), a US-based technology company, acquired HashiCorp Inc. for $6.4 billion. The acquisition is intended to bolster IBM’s hybrid cloud solutions by incorporating HashiCorp's infrastructure automation and security offerings, including Terraform and Vault, into its existing portfolio. HashiCorp Inc. is a US-based software company that provides infrastructure-as-code tools for automated cloud and network infrastructure management.

The network infrastructure as code market includes revenues earned by entities by providing services such as network automation platforms, infrastructure provisioning and configuration management, network orchestration, policy-as-code implementation, version control and deployment automation, and programmable network management solutions. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The network infrastructure as code includes sales of network automation software, infrastructure provisioning tools, configuration management platforms, network orchestration solutions, policy-as-code software, and programmable network management platforms. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.

Network infrastructure as code is the practice of provisioning, configuring, and managing network infrastructure through machine-readable definition files instead of manual processes. It applies software development principles such as version control, automation, and continuous integration to networking environments, improving consistency, scalability, and efficiency while minimizing human errors.

The key components of network infrastructure as code include software, services, and tools. Software refers to platforms that automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of network resources via code, enabling consistent and repeatable deployments. Solutions are deployed through on-premises and cloud models for large enterprises and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Applications include data centers, enterprise networking, cloud service providers, and telecom, serving end users such as information technology (IT) and telecom, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government, and other sectors.

Tariffs on imported networking hardware, data center equipment, and IT components are influencing the network infrastructure as code market by increasing infrastructure deployment costs, particularly affecting on-premises deployments and data center applications. Regions such as North America and parts of Asia-Pacific that rely on global hardware supply chains are most impacted. Segments including telecom and large enterprises face higher capital expenditures for programmable hardware. However, tariffs are also accelerating the shift toward cloud-based and software-centric infrastructure models, encouraging localized innovation and reducing dependency on imported physical network equipment.
