According to the report, the ethernet switch market size stood at USD 37.25 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 54.96 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.09% during the forecast period, driven by rising investments in hyperscale data centers, rapid cloud adoption, increasing demand for high-speed and low-latency enterprise networks, the growing proliferation of IoT devices, ongoing 5G infrastructure rollouts, and the accelerated shift toward software-defined networking across industries, collectively strengthening global ethernet switch market growth and market share. 

Key Trends Driving the Ethernet Switch Market 

Shift Toward Faster Ethernet Standards 

Network infrastructure is rapidly evolving as data centers and enterprises move toward higher-speed ethernet to handle growing traffic and performance demands. Cloud providers are accelerating upgrades to support advanced workloads such as artificial intelligence, while enterprises are adopting faster connections that offer better performance without major changes to existing cabling. At the same time, ongoing standardization efforts are improving reliability and traffic management, making next-generation Ethernet speeds more practical for large-scale deployment. 

Growing Use of Power-Enabled Ethernet in Smart Infrastructure 

Ethernet switches are seeing increased adoption as more organizations deploy Power over Ethernet solutions, supported by the growing integration of Power over Ethernet (PoE) chipsets, to power connected devices. The ability to deliver both power and data through a single cable has made PoE especially attractive for smart lighting systems, security cameras, and environmental sensors in commercial, industrial, and healthcare settings. Advances in PoE standards, along with improvements in PoE chipsets, now support higher power levels, enabling a wider range of devices while reducing cabling complexity, lowering installation costs, and simplifying overall network management.
