Global Self-Organizing Network Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Global Self-Organizing Network Market Outlook

The global self-organizing network market size reached approximately USD 6.13 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.50% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of around USD 16.38 billion by 2032.

Key Trends in the Self-Organizing Network Market

A self-organizing network (SON) can be described as an advanced autonomous network management technology that possesses the capability to independently strategise, set up, oversee, enhance, and rectify its operations. This network management technology is commonly used in the field of telecommunications and wireless communication systems, particularly in mobile networks like 4G LTE and 5G.

• One of the major global self-organizing network market trends is the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in SON systems to enable them to adapt to changing conditions and make informed decisions through the collected network data. ML algorithms help predict network issues and optimise network parameters for improved performance, making networks more resilient and efficient.

• The self-organizing network market demand is propelled by increasing urbanisation, leading to a rise in the need for advanced systems for efficient management of wireless network complexities. SON provides numerous advantages to telecommunications operators for efficient and cost-effective management of the network. Furthermore, SON can simplify and streamline the management of networks that incorporate various technologies and equipment from different vendors.

• Another major factor driving the self-organizing network market growth is the widespread deployment of the 5G network. 5G networks have become a necessary upgrade due to their high speed and low latency. However, 5G network infrastructure is more complicated than 4G, which makes SON essential for its deployment and operation. SON can prove to be significantly efficient in managing the dense and dynamic nature of 5G networks.
