Managed Network Services Market by Type (Managed LAN, Managed Wi-Fi, Managed WAN, Managed VPN, Network Monitoring, Managed NFV, Managed Network Security), Vertical (BFSI, IT & Telecom, Manufacturing), and Region - Global Forecast to 2030

The managed network services market is estimated to be USD 120.74 billion in 2025 to USD 172.04 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.3%, during the forecast period. Enterprises are increasingly turning to managed network services as they navigate the complexity of global connectivity, hybrid work, and cloud transformation. The market is gaining traction as providers deliver comprehensive solutions that integrate performance management, security, and automation.

The rise of digital ecosystems across industries has pushed demand for scalable, always-on networks managed by trusted partners. Providers offering flexible service models and outcome-based pricing are witnessing growing adoption. Managed network services will emerge as key drivers of agile operations, bridging connectivity, cloud integration, and cybersecurity into a unified service experience. The emphasis will shift toward intelligent, predictive, and adaptive network management.

Managed network services face various restraints and challenges that slow adoption and complicate operations. Integrating and modernizing legacy on-premises infrastructure with cloud-native SD-WAN and SASE architecture is technically and financially demanding, while multi-cloud and edge deployments create fragmentation that makes consistent visibility, quality of service, and policy enforcement difficult. Security and data privacy compliance across jurisdictions adds legal and operational overhead, and rising telemetry volumes strain monitoring, analytics, and storage.

“Managed WAN segment is expected to contribute to the largest market size during the forecast period”

Enterprises are rapidly transitioning to managed WAN services to simplify their complex, distributed network infrastructures and ensure consistent application performance. The rise of hybrid work, SaaS adoption, and global operations is driving the need for managed WAN providers that can deliver secure, cloud-optimized connectivity.

Managed WAN offerings now include dynamic traffic steering, real-time analytics, and policy-based automation, helping enterprises meet growing performance expectations. Managed WAN is expected to play a crucial role in supporting AI-driven workloads, edge computing, and IoT ecosystems, establishing them as the backbone of modern digital enterprise operations worldwide.

“Healthcare segment among types is expected to register the fastest growth rate during the forecast period”

Managed network services are transforming healthcare delivery by providing secure, high-performance connectivity across hospitals, clinics, and remote care facilities. In 2023, the Cleveland Clinic and Verizon, in partnership with Ericsson, deployed a 5G-enabled network to support advanced clinical workflows and telemedicine services at the Mentor Hospital in Ohio. This demonstrates how managed private networks are supporting low-latency applications and digital collaboration in patient care.

Market expansion is being fueled by the growing digitization of health records, wider use of connected medical devices, and the need for continuous uptime in mission-critical healthcare operations. As hospitals pursue smart infrastructure and AI-driven diagnostics, demand for managed services will be driven by requirements for data integrity, real-time monitoring, and unified network governance in complex healthcare environments.

“Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region, while North America will hold the largest market during the forecast period”

The managed network services market in the Asia Pacific is expanding rapidly, fueled by strong enterprise cloud adoption, the rise of remote operations, and government-led digital transformation projects. Companies are outsourcing network management to improve efficiency, enhance visibility, and secure distributed environments. In 2024, Singtel expanded its managed network and cybersecurity services across the Asia Pacific region, combining network intelligence, managed SD WAN, and continuous monitoring for enterprise customers.

This reflects the growing need for trusted partners who can deliver end-to-end connectivity and protection in a complex digital landscape. With the rise of IoT deployments and data center interconnections, regional growth will be shaped by the demand for scalable, flexible, and AI-driven service models. During the forecast period, the managed network services are expected to be essential for enterprises seeking to balance innovation, security, and operational resilience in an increasingly interconnected economy.

The North America region is expected to be the largest region in the managed network services market. It is growing rapidly as enterprises seek to simplify network complexity and improve resilience. With multi-cloud environments and distributed workforces, companies are prioritizing managed solutions that integrate network performance, visibility, and cybersecurity.

Providers are investing heavily in AI and software-defined capabilities to deliver agility and predictability at scale. North America will lead in embedding intelligence, automation, and policy-driven orchestration into managed services. Enterprises will increasingly adopt outcome-based contracts, expecting providers to deliver measurable performance, security, and reliability without expanding in-house operational teams.
