ARC Advisory Group has just completed fresh market analysis research on Industrial Ethernet Switches, part of the company’s ongoing coverage of the industrial network edge and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
This ARC market research explores current market performance and related technology and business trends, identifies leading technology suppliers, and provides five-year global forecasts for the Industrial Ethernet Switches market. This new research is based on ARC’s industry-leading market research database, extensive primary and secondary research, and proprietary economic modelling techniques. The research includes competitive analysis, plus five-year market forecasts by: region; industry; application; switch type; form factor; port count; support of key protocols (industrial, IEEE 61850, IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 1588v2, IEEE 802.1 TSN); hazardous location classification; environmental rating; ports by media type, highest speed, and PoE; sales channels, and customer type.
“Industrial Ethernet switch providers increasingly serve two masters in the form of both IT and OT customers who look to them to meet differing needs. Displacement of legacy automation networks in the OT space is impacting overall market growth to a lesser extent than in the past relative to the need to integrate data from field assets and processes in service of connectivity-enabled strategies such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industrie 4.0 (I4.0). At the same time, stronger growth outside of traditional industrial automation applications is fueling new entrants and the need to provide devices that meet their application-specific requirements,” says Chantal Polsonetti, ARC Vice President and principal author of ARC’s Industrial Ethernet Switch Global Market Research report.
This new research is available in a variety of formats to meet the specific research and budgetary requirements of a wide variety of organizations. These include:
- Market Intelligence Workbook (Excel) - personalized spreadsheet includes up to five years of historical data in addition to the current base year market data and five-year market forecast. This workbook enables licensed users to freely manipulate the data to make it easier to analyze the latest data for business intelligence and generate custom reports.
- Comprehensive Market Outlook Study (PDF) – provides an executive-level summary of the current market dynamics, market forecasts, and competitive analysis, plus an overview of strategic issues. Also includes in-depth quantitative and qualitative research into the current market, future and historical trends, plus competitive analysis.
