Global Serial Device Server Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Serial Device Server Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Serial device server is also known as a serial port device server or port redirector. Serial device server is a network device that transfers data between an Ethernet LAN and a serial port (COM port) of a computer or device. The main purpose of the serial device server is to allow serial devices such as printers, scanners，access control systems, attendance system or POS systems to be used in the network without relying on the serial port of the computer. This allows any serial device to connect to the network and access it from anywhere, including from the Internet.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Serial Device Server market finds that the global Serial Device Server market reached a value of USD 291.56 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 401.47 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.48% during the forecast period.

Influence of COVID-19 Outbreak on Serial Device Server Industry Development

Due to the particularity of the epidemic situation, governments and regions of various countries have introduced policies to restrict transportation. It is required to minimize travel, avoid crowds and reduce the spread of diseases. Different countries have different policies, cross-border trade is restricted, and the state controls import and export products more strictly, which increases the transportation time of the Serial Device Server. These measures increase the difficulty of transportation of Serial Device Server, especially the import and export products. Many modes of transportation are affected and some modes of transportation are canceled, so the products ordered by online buyers cannot be delivered. The seller can only change the mode of transportation and shorten the transportation time as much as possible. For example, some sellers change railway transportation to air transportation, and the air transportation price is about 4-5 times that of railway, which increases the transportation cost of the Serial Device Server. Sellers will naturally increase the price of goods, and the price increase may reduce the demand of customers, thus affecting sales and the development of the Serial Device Server industry.

Strength

Serial Device Server provides the function of transmitting data between computer serial port (COM port) and Ethernet LAN. With this function, all industries can use Ethernet instead of the serial cable. The use of serial device servers helps to reduce the confusion of workstations and provides architects with a way to place serial device servers away from the computers that use them. Serial Device Server provides the flexibility to be used with all types of serial devices and peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, and other peripheral devices.

Serial Device Server helps improve availability and uptime by providing seamless protection in case of power input failure. Serial Device Server is very easy to install and operate. They also provide a variety of operation modes for end users, meet customers' strict industrial automation requirements, and ensure stable connection. These factors are driving the adoption of Serial Device Server in the market.

Serial Device Server can easily connect to any other serial devices in the network without security or authentication, and these devices can also be configured with various functions similar to routers or Ethernet switches. These Serial Device Server support both wired and wireless network structures. Because the host computer has no additional programming cost, the software development cost is greatly reduced. Serial Device Server also provides a secure industrial network. Therefore, the advantages and wide applications of Serial Device Server products will promote the development of the market.
