Single-Vendor SASE to Dominate Market Growth as Enterprises Favor One-Stop Solutions
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – January 24, 2024 – According to a recently published forecast report from Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) market is poised for exponential growth, forecasted to surge to over $16 B by 2028. This represents a 12 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) fueled by the rising demand for integrated networking and security solutions tailored for the hybrid work environment. Particularly noteworthy is the single-vendor SASE segment, which is expected to grow at a faster 17 percent revenue CAGR and represent a more significant portion of the overall SASE market than multi-vendor SASE solutions, reflecting a shift in enterprise preference towards streamlined, one-stop solutions that align with the market’s growing emphasis on efficiency and integrated security.
“The SASE market is not just growing; it’s transforming how enterprises approach their network and security architecture. As businesses adapt to the new normal of hybrid work and distributed applications, integrating networking and security into a cohesive, cloud-native solution becomes paramount. SASE is not a trend; it’s the future of enterprise connectivity and security,” said Mauricio Sanchez, Sr. Director, Enterprise Security and Networking at Dell’Oro Group. “Looking at the numbers, it’s clear that SASE is becoming a cornerstone of modern enterprise infrastructure. With a projected market size of over $16 B by 2028, we are witnessing a paradigm shift. Organizations are rapidly moving away from traditional models to embrace SASE’s efficiency, scalability, and security,” added Sanchez.
