There are substantial reasons why entrepreneurs in the network management industry should rejoice.
A report by Markets and Markets has cited that the market for network management systems would grow past expectations by 2019, stimulated by high demand and a strong sense of innovation among major players. The same report also placed compound annual growth rate (or CAGR) at 9.5 percent.
As more enterprises from various industries are adopting better networking tools to streamline their business operations, the report has pegged the value of the network management industry at a whopping $11 billion! This is, of course, a far cry from previous years, particularly in 2014 when the industry was valued at $7 billion. Much of the revenue, of course, will be generated in North America, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific.
There are several reasons to this. For one, more and more enterprises from various industries (most notably, the government, IT and telecommunications and the financial sectors) are on an “updating spree.” There has been a significant rise in purchases of network management tools driven by the desire to reduce costs and to acquire better visibility of network operations.

- Network traffic management
- Network device management
- Network configuration management
- Network security management
