Ethernet switch is a multiport network switch that connects all the computer networking devices together on a computer. It forwards the data only to its destination port where it is required unlike Ethernet hubs, which forwards the data to all the ports irrespective of the requirement. Ethernet switches are broadly classified into two main categories, such as modular and fixed configuration. Modular switches enable to add expansion modules into the switches as needed, thereby delivering the best flexibility to address changing networks, whereas fixed configuration switches are switches with a fixed number of ports and are typically not expandable.
The prominent factors that drive the Ethernet switch market growth include, increase in adoption of industrial Ethernet switches due to their benefits along with rise in need to ensure efficiency in communication infrastructure in the automotive & transport environment. In addition, rise in application of Ethernet switch in industrial infrastructures, such as smart grid, intelligent rail & traffic, security & surveillance, and other utilities, fuels the market growth.
However, the technological complexity involved in Ethernet switches that increases their vulnerability toward security attacks is anticipated to restrain the market growth. On the contrary, the factors such as the emergence of Industry 4.0 is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the market growth. In addition, emergence of connected vehicles in the automotive & transportation industry is expected to be opportunistic for growth of the Ethernet switch market during the forecast period.
The Ethernet switch market is segmented on the basis of type, configuration, speed, and region. By type, the market is divided into modular Ethernet switches and fixed configuration Ethernet switches. The configuration segment is divided into unmanaged, smart, managed L2, managed L3, and divided. By speed, the market is analyzed across 1G, 10 G, 25 G, 40 G, 100 G, and others.
Region-wise, the Ethernet switch market trends are analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Nordic, Russia, Poland, Benelux and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa).
