| This IDC Study looks at some of the recent developments of the LAN switch
market as well as the market trends going forward for Asia/Pacific (excluding
Japan). It provides an in-depth overview of forecasts for the years 2002 to
2007, as well as the analysis for the various form factors of LAN switching
equipment. 2003 saw the breakthrough of Layer 3/> switching, where for the
first time, Layer 3 /> has overtaken Layer 2 in the history of the LAN switch
market in this region. This market saw a significant growth of 26% to reach a
total market size of US$1.13 billion.
"The major factor contributing to the decline of Layer 2 switching is the rapid
price per port plunge as this equipment is quickly being commoditized.
Moreover, competition from mid to lower end vendors like D-Link has forced
players to reduce their pricing to remain competitive in the market," said Jian
Sern Loo, Enterprise Networks Analyst. "Although dwarfed by the Fast Ethernet
market, Gigabit Ethernet was the star performer, surging 26.9% from the
previous year to record a total market size of US$526.1 million. The primary
cause of this was the fact that buyers are migrating more rapidly than expected
to Gigabit Ethernet."
