The Global Network Engineering Services Market is valued at approximately USD 50.95 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of more than 7.50% over the forecast period 2025-2035. Network engineering services encompass a suite of professional and managed services that support the design, optimization, deployment, and maintenance of enterprise network infrastructure. As organizations undergo rapid digital transformation, the importance of seamless connectivity, robust security, and scalable IT infrastructure has become paramount. These services enable businesses to strengthen operational efficiency, streamline communication, and ensure resilient system performance in both wired and wireless environments. The global market is primarily being driven by the accelerated adoption of cloud-based applications, the proliferation of connected devices, and the pressing need for enterprises to maintain uninterrupted network availability.
The rising adoption of next-generation technologies such as 5G, IoT, and edge computing has substantially increased the demand for network engineering services across industries. As enterprises move to hybrid and cloud-first ecosystems, they are compelled to upgrade legacy infrastructures and integrate advanced security measures into their networks. According to GSMA, by 2030, global 5G connections are expected to surpass 5.3 billion, reshaping the demand landscape for network modernization and engineering services. Additionally, the exponential surge in data traffic and the demand for high-performance connectivity in sectors like BFSI, telecom, healthcare, and manufacturing is creating a fertile ground for growth. However, high initial investments, a shortage of skilled professionals, and growing cybersecurity concerns pose challenges that could restrain the pace of adoption during the forecast period.

- By organization size, large enterprises are expected to dominate the market throughout the forecast timeline. The dominance is attributed to their robust IT budgets, widespread adoption of advanced digital infrastructure, and the pressing requirement to manage complex global operations. Large enterprises are increasingly deploying professional and managed services to ensure security compliance, improve agility, and facilitate seamless communication across geographically distributed operations. Conversely, SMEs are projected to emerge as the fastest-growing category as they increasingly adopt managed services to minimize operational costs, achieve scalability, and gain access to specialized expertise without heavy capital expenditure.
- When viewed through the lens of revenue contribution, professional services currently hold the largest share of the market. These services, which include network design, consulting, and integration, are in high demand due to the growing need for enterprises to reconfigure infrastructure and meet evolving connectivity requirements. While professional services dominate in revenue today, managed services are anticipated to accelerate more rapidly in adoption, as organizations seek outsourced solutions for continuous monitoring, proactive maintenance, and advanced cybersecurity capabilities. This dual dynamic indicates that while professional services remain the current revenue leader, managed services are becoming the pivotal growth catalyst for the industry.
- The key regions considered for the Global Network Engineering Services Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America accounted for the largest market share in 2025, underpinned by its advanced IT infrastructure, the presence of leading technology providers, and widespread adoption of next-generation networking technologies. The U.S. in particular is at the forefront of cloud adoption and 5G deployment, driving robust demand for engineering services. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is forecasted to witness the fastest growth over the coming decade, fueled by rapid urbanization, digitalization of SMEs, and government-led initiatives for smart city projects in countries like China and India.
