The industrial ethernet switch market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.94 billion in 2024 to $3.11 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to automation in manufacturing, rise of Industry 4.
The industrial ethernet switch market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.25 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with 5G networks, rapid expansion of edge computing, increasing cybersecurity concerns, growth in remote monitoring and maintenance, and continued IIoT expansion. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of time-sensitive networking (TSN), migration to gigabit and 10-gigabit ethernet, enhanced security features, robustness for harsh environments, remote management and monitoring.
The industrial ethernet switch market is poised for growth due to the increasing adoption of the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). The industrial IoT involves applying IoT in industrial sectors, and industrial ethernet switches play a crucial role in providing high-bandwidth or high-density networking solutions. For example, a report by Ericsson in September 2022 indicated that nearly 60% of cellular IoT connections are expected to be broadband IoT by the end of 2028, with 4G being the primary connectivity. The global IoT connections are projected to reach 34.7 billion by 2028, indicating an 18% growth rate. Thus, the rising adoption of industrial IoT is a driving force behind the industrial ethernet switch market.
The increasing adoption of industrial automation is anticipated to drive the growth of the industrial Ethernet switch market in the coming years. Industrial automation employs control systems, computer technology, and information technology to minimize human intervention in industrial processes, aiming to improve efficiency, productivity, and safety. The industrial Ethernet switches market plays a crucial role by providing the communication infrastructure essential for the smooth operation and expansion of industrial automation. For instance, in April 2024, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), a Germany-based non-profit organization, reported a 12% increase in industrial automation in the U.S., with industrial robot installations reaching 44,303 units in 2023. Thus, the rise in industrial automation is fueling the growth of the industrial Ethernet switch market.
In the industrial ethernet switch market, product innovation is a key trend among major companies. In May 2022, the Sweden-based industrial data communications products manufacturer Westermo launched a 10-gigabit industrial Ethernet switch designed to meet growing bandwidth demands.
