The global virtualization software market is estimated to achieve a valuation of US$ 300 billion by 2033, advancing rapidly at 22.3% CAGR from 2023 to 2033.
IT firms depend on software to imitate hardware functions and develop a virtual computer system to keep up with today’s high storage and processing needs. Virtualization software allows many operating systems and applications to run on a single server. The software makes it possible to run two or more operating systems on the same PC or device. There are several forms of virtualization available, including storage, data, network, and desktop virtualization.
Extensive adoption of virtualization software for optimizing data security across several industrial verticals, including information technology (IT), telecom, retail, and banking, financing, servicing, and insurance (BFSI) sectors, is boosting global market growth. Moreover, the outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted enterprises to embrace bring-your-own-device (BYOD) and work-from-home models for continuing company operations, which is increasing the demand for virtualization software.
Major technological improvements, as well as the advent of virtual customer premises equipment (vCPE) and network function visualization (NFV) for utilizing information technology (IT) virtualization technologies at lower costs, are also driving market expansion.
Furthermore, the introduction of cloud services has raised the demand for virtualization software to improve communication and satisfy the increasing network needs of enterprises. Moreover, increasing smart device sales, the advent of the fifth generation (5G) network, and strong investments in research and development (R&D) activities to launch advanced web-related solutions, like broadband and fiber, are propelling the global virtualization software market growth.
Regional Analysis
North America is expected to dominate the global virtualization software market due to the presence of many data technology vendors in the region. Furthermore, the availability of upgraded infrastructure is projected to accelerate regional market growth over the predicted period.
Asia Pacific is predicted to experience substantial growth during the forecast period due to the use of modern technology and the increasing number of digitization activities by different regional organizations. Moreover, the expansion of the IT, telecommunications, and BFSI sectors is also contributing to the regional market expansion.
