The demand for SD-WAN solutions in the region is increasing due to the growing deployment of data centers. The regional and global technology companies are building new data centers in countries including France, the UK, and Spain, thus giving rise to the need for virtualization solutions to enable the cost-effective management of data center resources. In October 2018, Alibaba opened two data centers in the UK to further expand its cloud footprint in Europe. Another factor augmenting the demand for SD-WAN solutions is the rising investments in the telecom infrastructure. 

The IT & telecom segment is projected to hold a major portion of the Europe SD-WAN market share in 2025 due to the rising usage of bandwidth-intensive applications and growing need among IT firms to migrate to cloud platforms for increased productivity. As enterprises present in the IT & telecom sector face pressure to effectively manage, control, and monitor their network infrastructure, the demand for SD-WAN solutions increases.

In the Europe SD-WAN market, Spain is expected to witness the fastest growth rate of over 65% from 2019 to 2025 due to the rising adoption of cloud computing and favorable government initiatives for the adoption of digital platforms among enterprises. Increase in the use of digital platforms will result in the generation of massive volumes of data traffic, which will necessitate the need to adopt network technologies to cope up with the network demands.
