Thereby, the market for IPAM Software in the prime regions has witnessed explosive growth, visible from the rise in CAGR.

The COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the IPAM software market, with organizations immediately shifting to remote work environments that call for a more efficient solution regarding management of IP addresses.

Higher increases in remote connections, VPN usage, and cloud service adoption have created an urgent need for robust IPAM tools. Organizations needed to manage and secure the expanded network infrastructure as efficiently as possible while maintaining visibility over a distributed workforce.

LATEST TREND

"Digital transformation and network automation are the key drivers of change in the market."

Latest IPAM software trends indicate the speed of change in the growing needs of networks and the capabilities of technology. Integration solutions supporting multi-cloud environments are currently at a sea change, while the twin forces of artificial intelligence and machine learning are being used for automating most mundane IP address management tasks and predicting potential network issues. Organizations are increasingly demanding solutions that provide IPAM with better security and compliance management tools, particularly for the support infrastructure for remote work and for distributed networks. The drive to IPv6 has accelerated more sophisticated address management capabilities, and integration with DNS and DHCP services-often called DDI solutions-is now seen as standard. Organizations are placing more emphasis on real-time network visibility and analytics, enabling them to track network resources more comprehensively. Another area of growth is in the realm of API-driven architecture, where design and development can be easily integrated with other tools used to manage the network as well as automation platforms. This is part of a greater approach to unified network operations and management.

IP ADDRESS MANAGEMENT (IPAM) SOFTWARE MARKET SEGMENTATION

BY TYPE

Based on Type, the global market can be divided into cloud-based solutions and on-premises

• Cloud-based: This product is offered as SaaS, which enables flexibility and scalability and low maintenance overhead. It appeals to organizations seeking cost-effective solutions that are rolled out quickly with automatic update cycles.
• On-premises: Implemented within the organization's infrastructure so that the organization has complete control over IP address management and security. This is ideal for organizations that have strict data sovereignty needs and for those requiring customized solutions for complex network environments.

BY APPLICATION

Based on application, the global market can be categorized into Network Automation, Network Security

• Network Automation: IPAM is arguably one of the most fundamental tools for network automation. IPAM software significantly reduces the time that many network operations take and significantly lowers the chances of human error through the automation of IP address allocation, management, and configuration. That said, this automation allows organizations to deploy new network devices at breakneck speeds, scale their infrastructure quickly, and change their business directions on a dime.
• Network Security: IPAM is, therefore, an indispensable tool that works to augment the security of networks. Through it, IP address usage is made visible, and network changes are traced. The tool, therefore, enables the discovery and prevention of potential security risks that may arise. It also empowers organizations to identify unlawful use of IP addresses, to prevent IP conflicts, and to establish more robust security policies.
•  Other: In this category, various applications of IPAM are listed, including planning, diagnosis, and compliance. The IPAM software serves to inform planning for future growth in a network, resolve network-related issues, and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory demands. It can even optimize the network performance by identifying unused IP addresses for reallocation to meet increasing demands.
