Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Global Network Emulator Market

The necessity for sophisticated network emulators springs from the need for organizations to have dependable, real-time testing solutions that emulate complex networks, in order to test and verify seamless connectivity and network performance. While 5G emerges and the expansion of the Internet of Things accelerates, the focus of developers' efforts switches to scalable, high-fidelity emulators that are capable of simulating a variety of protocols and varying conditions on the networks. For example, in January 2025, Spirent Communications introduced an AI-enhanced network emulator with real-time diagnostics to adaptive traffic simulation, to help ensure accurate testing and efficiency of operations.

While the uptake of network emulators provide opportunities for growth, there is a significant degree of complexity in integrating and verifying various network protocols for network operations - as well as cost overhead associated with developing a scalable, multi-use environment. During December 2024, Keysight Technologies noted regulatory delays to the rollout of their advances around multi-protocol emulators and their long validation cycles associated with existing telecom standards.

Finally, the increase in AI and machine learning incorporation into network emulators provides a significant opportunity for the ability to improve predictive analytics, automated fault detection, and network optimizations. For example, early in 2025, VIAVI Solutions also released an AI-based emulator platform that is capable of predicting network failures and optimizing testing workflows to reduce the downtime of test plans and improving successful testing procedures.
