Network function virtualization (NFV) is an initiative designed for the virtualization of network services that usually operates on proprietary dedicated hardware. These NFV functions such as load balancing, routing, and firewalls are bundled as a virtual machine on commodity hardware. As the NFV architecture virtualizes the network function at a server level, the NFV are expected to experience a thrust in their demand in the coming years. The NFV not only provide benefits to the enterprise, but the service providers also receive the potential to enhance scalability and improve the utilization of network resources. Further, the NFV’s ability to allow service providers to alter services in the form of virtual machine also contributes to its adoption. NFV also provides benefits regarding reduction is power consumption and can reduce both operational and capital expenditures. The rising adoption of NFV in Europe is generating significant growth opportunity for the network security firewall market players in the region. The outbreak of corona virus is a major shock to the European economy. Most of the European countries are into the lockdown phase to prevent the explosion of epidemic, which would lead to the death of many lives and the collapse of healthcare system. The consequences of lockdown are felt on both supply and demand side. Countries such as UK, Italy, and Germany are expected to have bigger impact on the economy. Inflation is likely to volatile the supply and demand side. The imbalance in the demand and supply side and the lockdown phase in several European countries will have the significant negative impact on the network security firewall market.
