An SDN controller is an application in a software-defined networking (SDN) architecture that manages flow control for improved network management and application performance. The SDN controller platform typically runs on a server and uses protocols to tell switches where to send packets.
The global SDN Controller market was valued at US$ 3245 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 6841.5 million by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
According to our research, in 2022 ,the industry size of software-defined networking is $20.4 billion. The growing need to optimize network resources and quickly adapt the network to changing business needs, applications, and traffic has led to the adoption of software-defined networking ( SDN ) approaches in network virtualization and containerization. Software-defined networking ( SDN ) facilitates efficient network traffic decisions for network operators and provides centralized network control. Software-defined investment in virtualization of network functions helps in reducing CAPEX and OPEX. This helps reduce an organization's reliance on hardware platforms. For example, virtualized radio access networks (vRANs) can help reduce operating expenses due to limited power consumption and estimated total cost of ownership savings.
