The load balancer market size was valued at $3,398.3 million in 2019, and is projected to reach $8,908.2 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 12.9% from 2020 to 2027.

A load balancer is a device that distributes network or application traffic across a cluster of servers. Its key role is to balance load, which manages the flow of information or traffic between the server and an endpoint device. This device facilitates servers to transfer data efficiently, optimize use of application delivery resources, and prevent server overloads. Moreover, it continuously conducts checks of networks on servers to ensure request handling and if necessary, the load balancer removes unreliable servers until they are restored. In addition, it exhibits the capability to trigger creation of new virtualized application servers to meet the increasing client request on a server. Load balancing constitutes various algorithms and methods depending upon the application delivery controller criteria to which it redirects each client request. Core load balancing capabilities include layer 4 (L4) load balancing, layer 7 (L7) load balancing, content switching, and global server load balancing (GSLB).

Proliferation of cloud load balancing services and server virtualization is a key factor that drives the adoption of load balancer, due to its ability to trigger creation of new virtualized application servers. Surge in investments for new digital transformation initiatives by governments and increase in data center traffic due to rise in machine-to-machine connectivity, especially in developing economies, are the major factors that boost the load balancer market growth.

In addition, increase in network connectivity, varied traffic pattern, and advancements in the networking infrastructure in telecommunication industries are expected to significantly contribute toward the growth of the global market. However, dearth of high bandwidth providers and complications associated with implementation of advanced load balancer components in traditional networking ecosystem hinder the growth of the market.
