[199 Pages Report] The Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switches Market size was estimated at USD 4.66 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 4.98 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.21% to reach USD 7.59 billion by 2030.

Unmanaged industrial ethernet switches are a type of networking hardware used in various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and others, to connect devices within a local area network (LAN) without the need for manual configuration. Unmanaged switches are designed for simplicity and ease of use, offering plug-and-play functionality without the ability to modify network behavior or settings. Increased automation in manufacturing and other sectors demands reliable and efficient network systems, and unmanaged industrial ethernet switches can support the expanding connectivity needs of automated equipment and sensors. Unmanaged switches designed for industrial applications often come with rugged casings that protect against dust, water, and extreme temperatures, making them suitable for challenging operational environments and further driving their adoption in diverse industrial sectors such as energy, utilities, and mining. However, the lack of management features restricts the use of these switches in scenarios requiring network customization, monitoring, and security protocols, which can be a significant restraint in more complex network setups. The inability to manage network access and monitor traffic can make unmanaged switches more vulnerable to security breaches, as there is no built-in mechanism to prevent unauthorized access. Enhancements in plug-and-play capabilities, such as auto-negotiation for speed and duplex settings, could improve the usability and performance of unmanaged switches, making them more attractive for a wider range of industrial applications. The proliferation of IoT devices in industrial settings presents a significant opportunity for unmanaged switches, especially in applications where simplicity and connectivity are prioritized over advanced network management.

Switch Type: Ongoing advancements to improve the functionality and performance of power over ethernet (PoE) switches

Power over ethernet(PoE) switches refer to a type of network switch that provides network connectivity and also supplies power over the same ethernet cable. This dual-function capability simplifies the infrastructure by reducing the need for separate power cables for electronics and digital devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones that are connected to the network. This can lead to significant financial savings and flexibility in device placement, particularly in challenging environments where power outlets are scarce or in locations that are difficult to reach. Standard ethernet switches, on the other hand, are the basic form of network switches used to connect devices on a computer network. They operate by receiving and forwarding data packets between the devices connected to the switch using ethernet cables. Unlike PoE switches, standard ethernet switches do not have the capability to provide power to the devices. They solely focus on data transmission. Therefore, each device must have its own power source or be connected to a power outlet, which can limit placement options or require additional cabling.

Industry Vertical: Emerging adoption of unmanaged industrial ethernet switches in the manufacturing sector due to the need for efficient communication

In the aerospace & defense sector, unmanaged switches are used to ensure reliable and secure communication between the sophisticated systems that comprise air and space vehicles, as well as defense infrastructure.

The electric & power industry relies on them for the monitoring and control of electrical systems, ensuring uptime and efficiency. In manufacturing, unmanaged switches facilitate the connectivity of machinery and sensors, thereby streamlining operations and enhancing productivity. In the manufacturing sector, unmanaged industrial ethernet switches serve as integral components for connecting various devices and machines on the production floor without the need for complex management or setup procedures. These switches facilitate real-time communication and data exchange between devices, contributing to efficiency and minimizing downtime. Their simple operation suits environments where constant changes in network configuration are not required. The oil & gas industry employs these switches in remote locations, where reliability and durability are paramount for data gathering and operational control. In the transportation sector, they support infrastructure and vehicle communication systems to improve safety and operation efficiency.
