Based on components, the market is bifurcated into solutions and services. The solutions segment is estimated to represent a high revenue share, owing to increasing adoption of NMS solutions to monitor and maintain communication infrastructure. The solution segment is further sub-segmented into accounting management, configuration management, fault management, performance management, and security management.
On the other hand, the services segment is expected to increase at a high CAGR during the forecast years, owing to rising demand for integration and implementation of different NMS from operators based in developed economies to undertake performance monitoring and achieve in-depth visibility. The services segment is further sub-segmented into training, support & maintenance, integration & implementation, and consulting.
On the basis of deployments, the global network management software in the telecom market is divided into cloud-based and on-premises. The on-premise segment is projected to register a high revenue share during the analysis period, as enterprises prefer on-premise NMS solutions to reduce the overall turnaround time (TAT) while providing support & maintenance services in the event of failure as against third-party managed solutions.
However, the cloud-based segment is expected to constitute a high CAGR over coming years, due to the increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions and preference for software as a service (SaaS) delivery model, especially among the SMEs. Cloud-based solutions provide several advantages including rapid deployment of solutions, reduction in overall infrastructure costs, and ease of accessibility.
Based on enterprises, the market is classified as SMEs and large enterprises. The large enterprises segment is expected to constitute a large market share during the forecast period, owing to increasing adoption of various network management software solutions by the incumbents of IT & Telecom and BFSI industries, to secure their networks and monitor the performance.
On the other hand, the SMEs segment is anticipated to increase at a high CAGR, as various SMEs are enrolling for NMS solutions to gain maximum number of online customers and increase the data traffic.
On the basis of verticals, the global network management software in the telecom market is segregated as BFSI, government, healthcare, IT & telecom, manufacturing, media & communication, retail, and transportation & logistics.
