Global Ethernet Switches Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Ethernet Switches market size was valued at US$ 33370 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 47440 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.4% during review period.

An ethernet switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, officially MAC bridge) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device.

The Ethernet switch industry is undergoing rapid evolution, driven by multiple market forces. One of the primary drivers is the explosive growth in data traffic and bandwidth demand. With the widespread adoption of cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), data flows in networks are growing at an unprecedented rate, particularly in data centers and enterprise networks. To meet these demands, Ethernet switches have seen a steady increase in speed, moving from 1Gbps and 10Gbps to higher standards like 25Gbps, 100Gbps, and even 400Gbps, supporting larger-scale data transmission. As a result, the demand for high-bandwidth and high-performance switches continues to rise, making these switches crucial to maintaining smooth network performance.

Additionally, the rapid expansion of cloud computing and big data, especially the growth of cloud service providers (such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud) and hyperscale data centers, further fuels the need for advanced Ethernet switches. These data centers require not only higher bandwidth but also switches with greater scalability and reliability to ensure seamless data transmission and prevent network bottlenecks.

Moreover, the rise of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is transforming traditional network architectures and management. By centralizing control and virtualization, SDN allows network administrators to configure and optimize network resources dynamically, creating a huge demand for intelligent switches that can support these next-generation networks. These smart switches not only better manage traffic and improve network efficiency but also offer automated fault monitoring and recovery capabilities, enhancing network stability and security.
