Dublin, Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Network Slicing - Company Evaluation Report, 2025" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.
The Network Slicing Companies Quadrant is a comprehensive industry analysis that provides valuable insights into the global market for Network Slicing. This quadrant offers a detailed evaluation of key market players, technological advancements, product innovations, and emerging trends shaping the industry. The '360 Quadrants' evaluated over 100 companies, of which the Top 16 Network Slicing Companies were categorized and recognized as quadrant leaders.
The network slicing market is shaped by various factors that impact its growth and evolution. Major drivers include the demand for ultra-low latency slicing to support real-time applications, increasing enterprise needs for customized network solutions, and the growing adoption of private 5G networks accelerating slicing implementation. Nonetheless, the market faces challenges such as the absence of standardized frameworks across ecosystems, the high cost of network transformation for smaller organizations, and security concerns in multi-tenant environments. Despite these barriers, the market presents substantial opportunities, including AI-driven orchestration for zero-touch slicing, integration of edge computing with slicing, and collaborative development of slicing use cases across industries.

Key challenges that need to be addressed include difficulties in enforcing real-time SLAs at scale, a shortage of professionals skilled in network slicing, and the operational complexity involved in managing multiple network slices.
According to Ericsson, network slicing allows the creation of multiple logical networks over a shared physical network infrastructure by forming slices that are logically isolated, self-contained, independent, and secure. Each of these slices can be individually configured to meet specific requirements for services or users - such as varying speeds, latency levels, and reliability. This capability enables the monetization of 5G network investments and harnesses the full potential of differentiated connectivity.
The 360 Quadrant maps the Network Slicing companies based on criteria such as revenue, geographic presence, growth strategies, investments, and sales strategies for the market presence of the Network Slicing quadrant.
Key players in the Network Slicing market include major global corporations and specialized innovators such as Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Cisco Systems, Inc, ZTE, Ciena Corporation, Amdocs, Turk Telekom, Samsung, HPE, NTT, BT Group, Broadcom, Juniper Networks, T-Mobile, and Mavenir.

These companies are actively investing in research and development, forming strategic partnerships, and engaging in collaborative initiatives to drive innovation, expand their global footprint, and maintain a competitive edge in this rapidly evolving market.
