The demands of enterprises are becoming more complex, as they look for ways to leverage new technologies (cloud, 5G, AI) in pursuit of growth and efficiency, while keeping on top of rapidly evolving security threats.

By 2027, we forecast that enterprises globally will be spending some $232bn annually on services and solutions in areas that today’s CSPs will have a role in supporting, such as SD-WAN, Security, and Industrial Automation. We forecast that CSPs’ share of this incremental market opportunity will be just over $101bn.
