Distributed Cloud Networking Market Expected to Climb to $17 Billion by 2028

The Distributed Cloud Networking market is projected to grow from $4 billion in 2023 to $17 billion by 2028, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34%, according to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group. The increase is led by enterprises' transition to hybrid cloud environments, the rise of AI-powered workloads, and the greater demand for elastic, software-defined networking solutions.

"The integration of AI across enterprise IT and the adoption of multi-cloud strategies have created unprecedented challenges for traditional WAN architectures," said Mauricio Sanchez, Sr. Director, Enterprise Security and Networking at Dell'Oro Group. "Distributed Cloud Networking offers a much-needed reimagining of the enterprise WAN, aligning security, scalability, and performance with modern IT requirements.

Sanchez further states, "As businesses adapt to AI-driven workloads and hybrid workforce models, the shift to service-centric, cloud-native networking will define the next decade of enterprise transformation. Vendors prioritizing agility, automation, and integration will emerge as market leaders."
