According to Meticulous Research®, the global virtualized evolved packet core market is projected to reach $19.87 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 19.3% from 2024 to 2031. This growth is primarily driven by the significant increase in mobile data traffic volumes and the rising demand for high-speed data services. Data security risks associated with vEPC infrastructure, however, pose a challenge to market growth. The market stands to benefit from increased investments in 5G technology, the adoption of cloud-native 5G core solutions, and the growing prevalence of IoT technology. Challenges such as the reliability of vEPC solutions and a lack of understanding about them persist. Integration of edge computing with vEPC technology is a notable trend in this market.

The virtualized evolved packet core market is segmented by component into solutions and services. The solutions segment includes components like mobility management entity, home subscriber server, serving gateway, packet data network gateway, and policy & charging rules function. In 2024, the solutions segment is expected to dominate, driven by the need to reduce operational and capital expenditures, growing mobile data traffic, and the benefits of vEPC such as agility, flexibility, scalability, and low-latency real-time application delivery. Collaborations aimed at enhancing network performance for 5G and 4G customers further boost this segment's growth.

Application-wise, the market is divided into Mobile Private Network & Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MPN & MVNO), Long-term Evolution & Voice over Long-term Evolution (LTE & VoLTE), and Internet of Things & Machine to Machine (IoT & M2M). The MPN & MVNO segment is expected to hold the largest market share in 2024 due to the increasing penetration of mobile devices, demand for low-cost mobile services, and need for high-speed internet connectivity. Adoption of vEPC among MPN & MVNOs helps increase LTE and IMS network revenues through fast and cost-effective deployment. Partnerships like the one between Summa Networks and Cirrus Core Networks are crucial in providing innovative solutions for MNOs and MVNOs.

The market also segments by deployment mode into on-premise and cloud-based deployments. On-premise deployments are expected to dominate in 2024, driven by large enterprises' preference for greater control over their network infrastructure. However, the cloud-based deployments segment is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period due to benefits like easy maintenance of customer data, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. The demand for cloud-based vEPC for cloud networks and the superior flexibility of cloud deployments further drive this segment.

The market is segmented by end user into telecom operators, enterprises (BFSI, IT, travel & consumer, media & entertainment, healthcare, and others), and other end users. Telecom operators are expected to hold the largest market share in 2024, driven by the adoption of vEPC solutions to improve latency issues and enhance IT agility, the need for better speed and bandwidth connectivity, and the reduction of operational and capital expenditures. Companies like NEC Corporation are partnering with NTT DOCOMO to create flexible and scalable 5G networks, maximizing their market shares.

Geographically, the market includes North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate in 2024, attributed to the adoption of vEPC solutions to enhance network infrastructure, the proliferation of advanced networking and communication technologies, the demand for cloud-based services, and government support for 5G infrastructure development. Asia-Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR, driven by the increasing number of mobile subscribers, growing mobile data traffic, adoption of network function virtualization solutions, and deployment of 5G-ready cloud core and NFVI solutions.
