650 Group Reports that Managed Hardened and Industrial Switching to Triple and Make Up Increasing Portion of Campus Switching Offerings by 2025

INCLINE VILLAGE, NEVADA, Jan. 26, 2021 -- According to a new report published by 650 Group, titled Industrial Switching Forecast 2020-2025, the worldwide Managed Industrial Switching market will nearly triple revenues to approach $2 Billion in revenue by 2025. The Industrial Switching market is experiencing a significant shift driven by building automation and IoT. Ports connected to IoT devices and gateways will grow significantly more compared to user ports during the forecast period.

While the campus and branch market vendors have focused on security and WAN connectivity for the past few years by enhancing SD-WAN and SASE portfolios at the edge, device connectivity for IoT is changing rapidly. Hardened, stand-alone and rack industrial Ethernet switches continue to gain in popularity to address these new use cases.

Products in the Stand-alone and rack-mounted hardened/industrial switch category will make up a growing portion of the campus switch market with offerings coming from more traditional Ethernet Switch vendors instead of industrial focused companies. Vendors will take different approaches to these emerging use cases depending on company exposure, with each vertical in our studies having slightly different requirements and market opportunities. Smart Cities, Manufacturing, and Logistics will adopt these new products in volumes. Still, even verticals like Education, Hospitality, and Carpeted Enterprises will embrace industrial switches as the campus automates buildings and increases in size to address energy requirements and COVID-19 distancing requirements.

"Industrial Switching has been part of the Ethernet Switch market since the beginning, but with the advent of IoT, Smart Cities, and building automation, Industrial Switching is outperforming the overall market," said Alan Weckel, Technology Analyst at 650 Group. "Different form factors are emerging beyond purpose-built industrial switches, and we expect many vendors to introduce products or enhance existing portfolios this year to address this growing market."

Portola Valley, California – July 2, 2018 – A newly released report by 650 Group reveals strong forecasted growth in the Enterprise plus Outdoor Wireless LAN market.  Emerging 802.11ax technology is expected to experience rapid adoption, with a first wave of shipments beginning in 2018, followed by a second wave of products in 2019 and beyond.  Overall, 650 Group expects 802.11ax to represent the majority of shipments by 2022.

“We expect overall growth in the Enterprise-class plus Outdoor WLAN market will be driven by two main trends over the five year horizon,” said Chris DePuy, Founder and Technology Analyst 650 Group.  “First, traditional use of WLAN devices such as computers and mobile devices will continue to drive additional WLAN infrastructure investment at companies mainly in emerging markets for the next few years.  We have already reached a point of WLAN deployment saturation in at companies in developed markets, where such enterprises mainly upgrade existing WLAN installations when improved products hit the market.  Second, beginning in the next 2-3 years, we expect the adoption of IoT devices, including those involving video surveillance, will become significant enough to drive additional spending on WLAN infrastructure to sustain growth in the later years of the forecast.”

By 2022, Enterprise-class plus Outdoor WLAN products are expected to grow to over 35% greater than 2017 levels.  Adding in revenue from cloud-managed WLAN services, which are very popular with branch office deployments and at small businesses, to product-only revenues, 650 Group expects the compounded annual growth rate to increase by over one percentage point.

After a significant slowdown in Enterprise-class plus Outdoor WLAN revenues in China over the past two years, we still expect growth in this region be more powerful than in any of the other six geographic regions that are tracked in the WLAN Infrastructure quarterly and forecast studies conducted by 650 Group. 

Vendors included in the quarterly market share report are Aerohive, Arris/Ruckus Wireless, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Cisco, DELL, Extreme Networks, H3C, HPE Aruba, Huawei, Riverbed/Xirrus, Sundray, and Ubiquiti Networks.
