The infrastructure software market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for infrastructure software has seen robust growth in the previous years. There will be a rise from $209.55 billion in 2024 to $220.25 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth observed in the past years is due to factors such as legacy system modernization, growth in remote work, concerns over cybersecurity, automation and orchestration, optimization of application performance, and demands for regulatory compliance.
The Infrastructure Software market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size of infrastructure software is projected to witness robust expansion. The market is expected to surge to $282.92 billion by 2029, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%.
Key factors contributing to this anticipated growth include the broadening of edge computing, attention towards zero trust security frameworks, containerization and evolution in microservices architecture, stress on implementing devOps tactics, and improved focus on user experience. Upcoming trends for the forecast period encompass managing hybrid and multi-cloud, supervising container orchestration, user-oriented infrastructure development, digital experience tracking (DEM), and incorporation of serverless computing.
The surge in the need for 5G connectivity is foreseen to stimulate the development of the infrastructure software sector. As the fifth iteration of networks, 5G aims to connect almost everything, including people, devices, and machines. The emergence of new applications and services that were previously unavailable with older wireless technologies is expected to advantage the infrastructure software market as the demand for 5G links increases. Furthermore, the rising trend of cloud computing is enhancing the need for 5G. For example, a report released by the UK-based GSM Association (GSMA), an industry body representing global network operator interests, stated in September 2022 that 5G innovation accounted for more than 640 million 5G links in 2022, with a forecast of 2 billion total connections by 2025. Hence, the embracement of 5G technology is fueling the expansion of the infrastructure software industry.

Leading corporations that exist within the infrastructure software market are currently advancing private 5G for enterprises, aiming to improve secure and rapid wireless connectivity, boost network performance and cater to the escalating demand for applications related to the industrial Internet of Things, digital conversion efforts inside establishments, and smart factories. The term "Enterprise private 5G" points to a unique 5G network which is precisely conceived, constructed and managed for a specific enterprise or organization. Take, for example, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), an American company specializing in information technology, rolled out its solution for enterprise private 5G in June 2024. This solution is designed to ease the process of setting up and managing private 5G networks, by uniting hardware components like servers and small cells within a single platform, striving to make private 5G networks just as simple to use as commonplace Wi-Fi is. Additionally, this technology aims to amalgamate seamlessly with the present Aruba Networking solutions from HPE, further facilitating network administration for businesses.
