The virtual extensible local-area network (vxlan) market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The virtual extensible local-area network (VXLAN) market has expanded rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.81 billion in 2024 to $2.14 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 18.2%.
The growth is driven by the growing need for scalable network infrastructures, increased demand for multi-tenant environments, the expansion of software-defined networking (SDN), rising requirements for network security and segmentation, and the growing need for data centers.
The virtual extensible local-area network (vxlan) market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The virtual extensible local-area network (VXLAN) market is projected to grow to $4.14 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 17.9%.
The growth is attributed to data center virtualization, increasing demand for enhanced network scalability, network security and segmentation, the rise of cloud services, and improving network performance. Key trends include cloud service advancements, data center technology, IoT and edge computing adoption, and network automation.
The growth of the virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) market is predicted to be propelled by the surge in cloud computing services. Cloud computing services deliver computing resources such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics via the internet. Their appeal lies in their scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, enabling businesses to access and employ advanced technology solutions without needing to manage their own infrastructure. VXLAN is utilized by cloud computing services to boost network scalability, flexibility, and efficiency, forming isolated virtual networks over existing IP infrastructure, supporting dynamic, secure multi-tenant environments, and integrating effortlessly with advanced network technologies. For example, according to Eurostat Statistics, a provider of statistics and data based in Europe, in 2023, cloud computing was adopted by 45.2% of EU businesses, mainly for email hosting, file storage, and office software. Furthermore, 75.3% of these businesses used advanced cloud services, like security software and database hosting, signaling a 4.2% rise in cloud adoption rates from those in 2021. Consequently, the surge in cloud computing services will catalyze the virtual extensible LAN (VXLAN) market.

Leading companies in the VXLAN market are concentrating their efforts on creating innovative solutions like next-generation firewalls for strengthened security, enhanced performance, and flexibility in contemporary network environments. These advanced firewalls offer detailed network segmentation and micro-segmentation within the VXLAN contexts, fostering isolation of varied network sections. This isolation results in the containment of attacks and the consistent application of security measures across the virtual networks. In a case in point, Cisco Systems Inc., a digital communications technology firm situated in the USA, introduced the Cisco Secure Firewall 3100 Series, which are next-generation firewalls, in June 2022. The series provides features specific to VXLAN and boosts network scalability and adaptability. It also allows for VXLAN configuration via a user-friendly web interface, facilitating the establishment interface and virtual network interfaces (VNIs), along with flexible and persistent settings via FlexConfig interface management. Efficient handling of encrypted traffic is ensured through high-performance VXLAN processing. The series also includes the Cisco secure firewall management center which further streamlines network management, making the 3100 Series a potent tool for regulating VXLAN traffic while enhancing network security and performance.
