Network operations management refers to the processes and practices employed to monitor, control, and optimize the performance of information technology networks across an organization. It ensures the reliability, efficiency, and security of data flow between devices, servers, and communication systems. By leveraging advanced tools and automation, it enables proactive issue detection and maintains continuous connectivity within complex digital infrastructures.
The main components of network operations management comprise solutions and services. Solutions refer to integrated software platforms and tools designed to monitor, manage, and optimize network performance, ensuring seamless connectivity, reliability, and security across digital infrastructures. These systems are deployed through on-premises and cloud models and support various network monitoring functions, including performance monitoring, network traffic analysis, application performance monitoring, security monitoring, and infrastructure monitoring. Network operations management solutions cater to organizations of all sizes, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises, across key industry verticals such as telecommunications, information technology, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and others.
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.

The network operations management market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.70 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of 5G and software-defined networking technologies, growing focus on enhanced network security and compliance management, increasing demand for AI-driven network automation, stronger emphasis on reducing operational costs through automation, and the growing shift toward zero-touch network management. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in artificial intelligence-powered observability, deeper integration of automation and analytics for network optimization, growth in edge computing and IoT-driven network management, incorporation of cybersecurity features within network operations platforms, and innovations in unified network monitoring and management systems.
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.
