12 Apr STATFlash: U.S. Carrier Managed SD-WAN Services Surge to $7.8 Billion by 2026
New research quantifies revenue and site projections, WAN Access connectivity, customer site configurations, MPLS migration, Service Provider market shares and more.
BOSTON, MA, April 12, 2022 – The U.S. market for Carrier Managed SD-WAN Services is projected to surge to $7.8 billion by 2026, according to latest research from Vertical Systems Group. Revenue for this rapidly expanding market segment is derived from U.S. customer site installations with SD-WAN Service overlay components plus WAN Access underlay connectivity.
Carrier Managed SD-WAN Services are carrier-grade offerings for business customers that are managed by a network operator, utilize an SDN architecture, enable dynamic optimization of customer edge site connectivity, and provide centralized network control with application visibility end-to-end. Security is the most essential additional capability required by SD-WAN customers.
SD-WAN is one of the three Carrier Managed VPN Services tracked by Vertical, along with MPLS and Site-to-Site VPNs. Migration from MPLS has been a significant growth driver for Carrier Managed SD-WANs, with customers converting to either hybrid MPLS/SD-WAN configurations or full replacements. Despite this ongoing technology migration, U.S. revenue and customer connections for MPLS plus Site-to-Site services still eclipse Carrier Managed SD-WAN.
